Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
A 5-year-old is hospitalized with a fractured femur. Which pain assessment tool is appropriate for this child?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Faces Pain Rating Scale is appropriate for assessing pain in children who can express their feelings visually. For a 5-year-old child who can communicate effectively, using a tool like the Faces Pain Rating Scale, which uses facial expressions to indicate pain levels, is more suitable than the CRIES Scale (used for neonates), the SUN Scale (used for infants), or the NIPS Scale (used for preterm and term newborns).
Question 2 of 5
Which is an accurate description of homosexual (or gay-lesbian) families?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Research shows that the quality of parenting in homosexual families is equivalent to that in heterosexual families, and children thrive in nurturing environments provided by same-sex parents.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for an adolescent who is overweight. Which of the following psychological effects of being overweight during adolescence will the nurse consider when planning care for the adolescent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Adolescents who are overweight often struggle with poor body image, which can lead to low self-esteem and mental health issues. Addressing body image concerns and promoting healthy lifestyle changes are important aspects of care. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Sexual promiscuity is not a direct psychological effect of being overweight; feelings of contempt for thin peers are not a common or recommended psychological response; lack of independence is a broad term that does not specifically relate to the psychological effects of being overweight.
Question 4 of 5
A new mom is ready to introduce solid foods to her infant. Which food would you recommend starting with?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rice cereal. Rice cereal is typically the first solid food introduced to infants because it is easy to digest and unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Starting with rice cereal helps assess the baby's readiness for solid foods and reduces the risk of allergic responses. Choice A (Meat) is not recommended as the initial solid food due to its higher allergenic potential. Choices C (Fruits) and D (Vegetables) are also not usually recommended as the first solid food, as they may be more challenging for infants to digest compared to rice cereal.
Question 5 of 5
Which best describes signs and symptoms as part of a nursing diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Signs and symptoms are cues and clusters derived from patient assessments that are used to form a nursing diagnosis, guiding the development of a care plan.
