Pediatric HESI Questions
Question 1 of 5
A 7-year-old child with leukemia is receiving chemotherapy. The mother asks the practical nurse (PN) how to manage the child's nausea at home. What advice should the PN provide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: During chemotherapy, children may experience nausea. Providing small, frequent meals can help manage nausea as they are easier to tolerate, reducing the likelihood of vomiting. It is important to offer bland, non-spicy foods to avoid exacerbating nausea. Encouraging large meals less frequently or allowing the child to eat whatever they want may overwhelm the digestive system and worsen nausea.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 4-month-old infant who has just received routine immunizations. The mother reports that the baby has been fussy and has a low-grade fever since the immunizations. What is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fussiness and low-grade fever are common side effects of immunizations in infants and usually resolve on their own. It is important for the nurse to educate the mother about these expected reactions to help ease her concerns. Immediate evaluation or giving aspirin to an infant for fever is not necessary or safe, as aspirin can be harmful to infants.
