ATI Pediatric Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A child is being assessed for possible appendicitis with perforation. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a child with appendicitis and possible perforation, the nurse should expect bradycardia due to peritoneal irritation. Bradycardia is a common response to peritoneal inflammation or infection, indicating a possible serious complication. Hyperactive bowel sounds, abdominal distension, and hypoactive bowel sounds are more commonly associated with other gastrointestinal conditions and are less likely to be present in a child with appendicitis and perforation.
Question 2 of 5
A child with suspected bacterial meningitis is under the care of a nurse. Which action should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The priority action for a child with suspected bacterial meningitis is to implement seizure precautions. Meningitis can lead to increased intracranial pressure, which may trigger seizures. By implementing seizure precautions, such as padding the side rails of the bed and ensuring a clear environment, the nurse aims to prevent injury during a potential seizure episode, prioritizing the child's safety.

Question 5 of 5
A 6-year-old child with daytime enuresis complains of dysuria and urgency. What does the nurse recognize these signs and symptoms indicate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The signs and symptoms of dysuria and urgency in a child with daytime enuresis are indicative of a urinary tract infection. These symptoms, including urinary frequency and pain during urination, commonly point towards a UTI. Nephrotic syndrome typically presents with edema, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia. Acute glomerulonephritis is characterized by hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, and oliguria. Vesicoureteral reflux may lead to recurrent UTIs but does not directly present with dysuria and urgency.
