Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct dietary instruction for a 2-year-old child with GERD is to avoid gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye that can worsen GERD symptoms. Avoiding gluten can help reduce inflammation and discomfort in the esophagus. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because spicy foods, high-fat foods, and dairy products can exacerbate GERD symptoms. Spicy foods can irritate the esophagus, high-fat foods delay stomach emptying leading to increased acid reflux, and dairy products can stimulate acid production, all of which can worsen GERD symptoms.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Warmth at skin disruption site.' Cellulitis is characterized by localized warmth at the site of skin disruption, which indicates an infection. Choice A, 'Red, raised hair follicles,' is more typical of folliculitis. Choice C, 'Papules progressing to vesicles,' is suggestive of conditions like herpes simplex virus infections. Choice D, 'Honey-colored exudate,' is associated with impetigo, not cellulitis. When assessing cellulitis, nurses should primarily look for warmth, erythema, edema, and tenderness at the affected site.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Using a soft toothbrush helps to prevent bleeding in a child with hemophilia.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Full-thickness burns are characterized by a leathery, dry appearance with numbness due to nerve damage. Choice A describes characteristics of superficial burns, which are not full-thickness. Choice B describes characteristics of partial-thickness burns with intact blisters, not full-thickness burns. Choice C describes characteristics of partial-thickness burns with blistering and swelling, not full-thickness burns.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The most likely nursing diagnosis for a 1-month-old girl with trisomy 18, characterized by low-set ears and severe hypotonia, is 'Grieving related to the child's poor prognosis.' Trisomy 18 is associated with a poor prognosis, and families often experience grief as they come to terms with the challenges and uncertainties associated with the condition. 'Interrupted family process' may not be as relevant since the primary focus is on the child's condition. 'Deficient knowledge related to the genetic disorder' could be important but may not be the most likely initial concern, as emotional support for the family is crucial at this point. 'Ineffective coping related to the stress of providing care' is a broad diagnosis that does not specifically address the emotional response to the child's prognosis, which is the primary concern in this case.
