Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions

Question 1 of 5

A foster parent is talking to the nurse about the health care needs for the child who has been placed in the parent's care. Which statement best describes the health care needs of foster children?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Foster children often have higher rates of acute and chronic health problems due to a variety of factors, including previous neglect, trauma, and inconsistent healthcare access.

Question 2 of 5

What is one focus of current health care?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Disease prevention.' Modern healthcare places emphasis on preventing diseases to enhance overall health and well-being. While nursing services, symptom management, and disease identification are crucial components of healthcare, disease prevention plays a key role in reducing the burden of illness on individuals and communities.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for an adolescent hospitalized for asthma. The adolescent belongs to a large family. The nurse recognizes that the adolescent is likely to relate to which group?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Adolescents typically identify and relate more closely to their peer group, especially during the teenage years when peer relationships become a central focus.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is planning a teaching session to adolescents about deaths by unintentional injuries. Which should the nurse include in the session with regard to deaths caused by injuries?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: More deaths due to unintentional injuries occur in males, which may be due to higher risk-taking behaviors.

Question 5 of 5

Which laboratory test would be most important for the nurse to assess when caring for a toddler suspected of having cystic fibrosis?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The sweat chloride test is the primary diagnostic test for cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across epithelial cell membranes, leading to increased chloride in sweat. This test is crucial for diagnosing cystic fibrosis in suspected cases. Liver enzymes (Choice A), serum calcium (Choice B), and urine creatinine (Choice D) are not specific tests for cystic fibrosis and would not provide the necessary information for diagnosis in this case.
