Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
A breastfed infant is being seen in the clinic for a 6-month checkup. The mother tells the nurse that the infant recently began to suck her thumb. Which is the best nursing intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Thumb sucking is a normal self-soothing behavior in infants and usually does not indicate a problem. Reassuring the mother that this is normal is the appropriate response.
Question 2 of 5
An infant, age 5 months, is brought to the clinic by his parents for a well-baby checkup. What is the best advice that the nurse should include at this time about injury prevention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Small objects are a choking hazard for infants, so it is crucial to keep them out of reach to prevent injury.
Question 3 of 5
In the newborn, into what muscle is intramuscular vitamin K administered?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In newborns, intramuscular vitamin K is traditionally administered into the vastus lateralis muscle. This site is preferred due to its large muscle mass and accessibility. The dorsogluteal site is not recommended for newborns due to the risk of injury to the sciatic nerve. The deltoid site is also not recommended for newborns. The rectus femoris muscle is not commonly used for intramuscular injections in newborns.
Question 4 of 5
During the 2-month well-child checkup, the nurse expects the infant to respond to sound in which manner?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At 2 months, infants typically react to loud noises with the Moro reflex, a startle response that is normal at this stage of development.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing an airborne infection isolation room for a patient. Which communicable disease does the patient likely have?

Rationale: Varicella (chickenpox) is an airborne infectious disease, requiring isolation to prevent the spread of the virus.
