Question 1 of 5

Question 2 of 5
When is isotretinoin (Accutane) indicated for the treatment of acne during adolescence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Isotretinoin (Accutane) is a potent medication used for severe acne that has not responded to other treatments, such as topical medications or antibiotics. It is typically considered as a last resort due to its potential side effects and risks. Adolescents with resistant, severe acne who have not seen improvement with other therapies may be good candidates for isotretinoin treatment. It is important for the prescribing healthcare provider to carefully assess the severity of the acne and weigh the benefits against the potential risks before initiating isotretinoin therapy.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse notes that a child has lost 8 pounds after 4 days of hospitalization for acute glomerulonephritis. What is most likely the cause of the weight loss?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The child most likely lost 8 pounds due to a reduction of edema. Acute glomerulonephritis is a condition that can lead to significant fluid retention in the body, causing edema (swelling). When the child was hospitalized and received treatment, such as diuretics, to address the underlying cause of the edema, the excess fluid and weight would be lost. This reduction in edema is the most common reason for weight loss in this scenario, rather than poor appetite, increased potassium intake, or restriction to bed rest.
Question 4 of 5
A school-age child is admitted to the hospital with acute glomerulonephritis and oliguria. Which dietary menu items should be allowed for this child? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Apples, bananas, and strawberries are all suitable choices for a child with acute glomerulonephritis and oliguria. These fruits are high in water content and are not typically restricted in the diet of a child with this condition. It is important to provide hydration through food sources for a child experiencing oliguria. However, foods high in sodium, potassium, and protein (such as cheese) may need to be limited or modified based on the child's condition and the doctor's recommendations. Carrot sticks, although generally a healthy choice, may have high potassium content which could be restricted based on the child's individual dietary requirements.
Question 5 of 5
The parents of a young child with heart failure tell the nurse that they are "nervous" about giving digoxin (Lanoxin). The nurse's response should be based on which statement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct response is option A. By reassuring the parents that digoxin is a safe and frequently used drug, the nurse can help alleviate their concerns about administering the medication to their child. This approach fosters trust and confidence in the treatment plan. It is essential for the nurse to provide accurate information to help the parents feel more comfortable and confident in caring for their child.
