Pediatric CCRN Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A child with which of the following diseases may suffer a severe acute reaction to radiotherapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Children with ataxia-telangiectasia are highly sensitive to radiation and can suffer severe reactions to radiotherapy.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assigned to a client with polymyositis. Which expected outcome in the plan of care relates to a potential problem associated with polymyositis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Polymyositis is a condition that involves inflammation of the muscles, including the muscles involved in swallowing (dysphagia) and breathing. This can lead to a higher risk of aspiration, where food or fluids go into the airway instead of the esophagus. Therefore, monitoring for signs and symptoms of aspiration and ensuring the client exhibits no signs of aspiration are crucial in the care of a client with polymyositis. The other options are not directly related to the potential problems associated with polymyositis and are more general aspects of nursing care.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff. does the nurse understand usually precedes rheumatic fever?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rheumatic fever is an inflammatory disease that can develop as a complication of untreated or inadequately treated infections caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. These bacterial infections are usually in the form of strep throat or scarlet fever. Rheumatic fever typically occurs 2-4 weeks after a streptococcal infection. The body's immune response to the streptococcal infection can lead to an autoimmune reaction, resulting in rheumatic fever. It is important to promptly diagnose and treat streptococcal infections to prevent the development of rheumatic fever.

The nurse is preparing to care for a newborn receiving phototherapy. Which interventions are appropriate? (Select all that apply.)
