RN Nursing Care of Children Online Practice 2019 A Questions
Question 1 of 5
A child with acetaminophen (Tylenol) poisoning has been admitted to the emergency department. What antidote does the nurse anticipate being prescribed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: N-acetylcysteine is the specific antidote for acetaminophen poisoning, working by replenishing glutathione and preventing liver damage. The other options are antidotes for different types of poisoning (e.g., Fomepizole for methanol or ethylene glycol poisoning).
Question 2 of 5
The nurse on a pediatric unit is writing guidelines for age-specific preparation of children for procedures based on developmental characteristics. What guideline is accurate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using simple diagrams helps school-age children understand what to expect in a procedure, catering to their developmental level and reducing anxiety. Informing toddlers too early can increase anxiety, and parents' presence is generally comforting, not discouraging.
Question 3 of 5
Using knowledge of child development, what approach is best when preparing a toddler for a procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Demonstrating on a doll helps the toddler understand what will happen in a non-threatening way, making the procedure less intimidating. Long teaching sessions or avoiding choices can increase anxiety.
Question 4 of 5
Several types of long-term central venous access devices are used. What is a benefit of using an implanted port (e.g., Port-a-Cath)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Implanted ports like the Port-a-Cath are fully implanted under the skin, allowing the child to maintain regular physical activities, including swimming, without the risk of dislodging the catheter. Piercing the skin is still required for access, and self-administration is more complex.
Question 5 of 5
What is an advantage of the ventrogluteal muscle as an injection site in young children?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The ventrogluteal site is free of significant nerves and vascular structures, making it a safer choice for intramuscular injections in young children compared to other sites that may be more prone to complications.
