4-year-old child afraid of monsters
Question 1 of 5
The parent of a 4-year-old child tells a nurse that the child believes there are monsters hiding in the closets at bedtime. Which one of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Keep a night light on in your child's room. This response is appropriate because a night light can help alleviate the child's fear of monsters by providing a sense of security and comfort in the dark. By keeping the room dimly lit, the child may feel more at ease and be less likely to imagine monsters lurking in the darkness. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Staying with the child until asleep may reinforce the fear and dependency.
B) Telling the child monsters are not real may invalidate their feelings and not address the underlying fear.
D) Allowing the child to sleep in the parent's bed may create a habit that is difficult to break and may not address the fear of monsters.

Toddler's diet high in vitamin A
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is choosing foods for a toddler's diet that are high in vitamin A. What foods could be added to the menu? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: The correct answer includes sweet potatoes, carrots, and spinach. These foods are high in beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, promoting good vision, immune function, and skin health in toddlers. Avocados, applesauce, and broccoli are not high in vitamin A but offer other nutrients. Avocados are rich in healthy fats, applesauce provides fiber, and broccoli is a good source of vitamin C and fiber.

Toddlers at play
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is watching toddlers at play. Which normal behavior would the nurse observe?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B:
Toddlers engage in parallel play. This is because toddlers at this stage often play alongside each other without actively engaging with one another. This behavior is considered normal as they are still developing social skills and independence. Solitary play (
A) is more common in younger children, while cooperative play (
D) typically occurs in older children who have developed better social skills.
Choice C is incorrect as toddlers do engage in play outside the home, such as in daycare or playgrounds.
Extract:
6-year-old child
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is speaking with the mother of a 6-year-old child. Which of the following statements by the mother should concern the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because the statement indicates potential vision problems that may require further evaluation by an eye doctor. This is concerning as it could impact the child's academic performance and overall development. Option A is a normal behavior for children. Option C is a common occurrence at the age of 6. Option D may suggest a need for guidance on sportsmanship but is not a significant concern compared to potential vision issues.
Extract:
3-month-old infant
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 3-month-old infant. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Inability to raise head when in the prone position. At 3 months, infants should be able to lift their heads while in a prone position, which is essential for developing neck and upper body strength. This milestone indicates the maturation of the infant's neck muscles and neurological development. If the infant cannot raise their head, it may suggest a delay in motor development or underlying issues that require further evaluation.
Choices A, C, and D are typical developmental milestones for a 3-month-old infant, so they are not as concerning as the inability to raise the head. Reporting this finding to the provider allows for early intervention and appropriate management.
