Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
A child is admitted with renal failure. Which of these findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Azotemia (elevated BUN and creatinine) and oliguria (reduced urine output) are classic signs of renal failure, indicating impaired kidney function. In renal failure, the kidneys are unable to effectively filter waste products, leading to an increase in BUN and creatinine levels in the blood. Additionally, oliguria occurs due to decreased kidney function. Increased GFR (Choice C) is not expected in renal failure as it signifies improved kidney function, which is not the case in renal failure. Polyuria and elevated creatinine clearance (Choice D) are not typical findings in renal failure. Polyuria is more commonly associated with conditions like diabetes insipidus, while elevated creatinine clearance would indicate increased kidney function, which is contrary to the impaired function seen in renal failure.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the importance of role learning for children. The nurse understands that children's roles are primarily shaped by which members?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Parents play the primary role in shaping their children's roles and behaviors, especially in early childhood, through modeling, guidance, and expectations.
Question 3 of 5
Which family theory is described as a series of tasks for the family throughout its life span?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Developmental theory outlines the series of tasks and stages that a family goes through over its life span, helping to understand the family's development and needs over time.
Question 4 of 5
Which disease would require strict isolation of the patient?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Chickenpox. Chickenpox is highly infectious and is transmitted through direct contact, droplet spread, and contaminated objects. Due to its high communicability, strict isolation of the patient is necessary to prevent the spread of the disease. Mumps is primarily transmitted through direct contact with the infected person's saliva, with peak contagiousness before the onset of swelling. Exanthema subitum (roseola) has an unknown transmission source. Erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) is contagious before the appearance of symptoms. Therefore, these diseases do not require the same level of strict isolation as chickenpox.
Question 5 of 5
Parents of a hospitalized toddler ask the nurse, "What is meant by family-centered care?" The nurse should respond with which statement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Family-centered care emphasizes the importance of the family as the constant in a child's life, involving them in all aspects of care and decision-making.
