Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Positioning the child on his right side after surgery for pyloric stenosis helps to promote the flow of formula through the pylorus and into the intestines. Placing the child in this position can aid in preventing any potential complications from the surgery and promote proper digestion. The right side position assists in the drainage of the stomach contents, thereby reducing the risk of complications related to the surgery and promoting the healing process. It is essential to follow this positioning recommendation as part of the post-operative care for a child who has undergone surgery for pyloric stenosis.

Question 4 of 5
Which information could be given to the parents of a 12-month-old child regarding appropriate play activities?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: At 12 months of age, children are generally starting to become more mobile and interested in exploring their surroundings. Large push-pull toys are a great option for encouraging physical activity and helping with gross motor skills development. These toys can help the child practice walking, crawling, and hand-eye coordination. Push-pull toys also provide kinetic stimulation which is important for the child's overall physical development at this age. Other play activities mentioned in the options, such as finger paints or cradle gym, may be suitable for older children as they require more fine motor skills and coordination. Stick horse, on the other hand, is more appropriate for older children who have better developed gross motor coordination.
Question 5 of 5
An adult has been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis and is being discharged home with his wife and two young children. His wife asks how TB is passed from one person to another so she can prevent anyone from catching it. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tuberculosis is primarily spread through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings, releasing bacteria-containing droplets into the air. Therefore, it is important for the individual with TB to cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of the bacteria. By coughing into a disposable tissue or a handkerchief that can be washed in hot water, the risk of spreading the infection to others is significantly reduced. This measure helps minimize the transmission of the disease within the household and community.
