Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
A new mom is ready to introduce solid foods to her infant. Which food would you recommend starting with?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rice cereal. Rice cereal is typically the first solid food introduced to infants because it is easy to digest and unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Starting with rice cereal helps assess the baby's readiness for solid foods and reduces the risk of allergic responses. Choice A (Meat) is not recommended as the initial solid food due to its higher allergenic potential. Choices C (Fruits) and D (Vegetables) are also not usually recommended as the first solid food, as they may be more challenging for infants to digest compared to rice cereal.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse discovers welts on the back of a Vietnamese child during a home health visit. The child's mother says she has rubbed the edge of a coin on her child's oiled skin. The nurse should recognize this as what?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: This practice, known as "coining," is a cultural method believed to rid the body of illness and is not indicative of child abuse.
Question 3 of 5
The school nurse is explaining to older school children that obesity increases the risk for which disorders? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Obesity increases the risk for conditions like asthma, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and altered glucose metabolism, but not typically irritable bowel disease.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is planning to counsel family members as a group to assess the family's group dynamics. Which theoretical family model is the nurse using as a framework?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Family systems theory views the family as an interconnected system where changes in one member affect the entire family, making it ideal for assessing group dynamics.
Question 5 of 5
The parent asks when the soft area in the infant's head will go away. What is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best response by the nurse is A, as the anterior fontanel typically closes between 12-18 months of age, allowing for brain growth during infancy. Choice B is incorrect because it does not provide a specific timeframe for the closure of the fontanel. Choice C is incorrect as it suggests a later closure timeframe than usual. Choice D is incorrect as it states that the soft spots should have closed already, which is inaccurate for a 6-month-old infant.
