Question 1 of 5
A newborn is diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity. What should the nurse know about this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder of the developing retinal blood vessels in premature infants. Cryotherapy and laser therapy are both effective treatments for ROP. These treatments can help prevent vision loss and improve the chances of maintaining good vision. Prompt detection and intervention are key in managing ROP to prevent long-term visual impairment. Therefore, the nurse should be aware that cryotherapy and laser therapy are effective interventions for ROP, contrary to the options suggesting blindness cannot be prevented or no treatment is available. Long-term administration of oxygen can contribute to the development of ROP, so careful monitoring and management of oxygen levels are necessary in premature infants to prevent this condition.
Question 2 of 5
When doing a nutritional assessment on a Hispanic family, the nurse learns that their diet consists mainly of vegetables, legumes, and starches. How should the nurse assess this diet?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should assess that the diet of the Hispanic family, which consists mainly of vegetables, legumes, and starches, may provide sufficient amino acids. While this diet may lack animal sources of protein commonly found in meat and milk, plant-based foods like legumes and grains can complement each other to provide all essential amino acids necessary for protein synthesis in the body. This combination of foods essentially forms a complete protein source, supporting overall nutritional needs. It's important for the nurse to recognize the potential nutritional value in the diet and offer education on balanced meal planning to ensure adequate protein intake for the family. The assessment should focus on the overall nutrient adequacy and not solely on the presence of specific food items.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to test a school-age child's vision. Which eye chart should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should use the Snellen letter chart to test a school-age child's vision. The Snellen chart is specifically designed to assess distance vision by having the child read rows of letters of various sizes from a specific distance. This chart is commonly used for vision screenings and has standardized letter sizes that help determine visual acuity. The other options listed - Denver Eye Screening Test, Allen picture card test, and Ishihara vision test - are not typically used for testing visual acuity in the same way the Snellen chart is.
Question 4 of 5
What is the correct sequence used when performing an abdominal assessment? Begin with the first technique and end with the last. Provide answer using lowercase letters separated by commas (e.g., a, b, c, d).
Correct Answer: c
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
At what age does an infant start to recognize familiar faces and objects, such as a feeding bottle?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At around 2 months of age, infants typically start to show signs of recognizing familiar faces and objects, such as a feeding bottle. At this stage, their vision and cognitive abilities have developed enough for them to begin differentiating and responding to familiar stimuli in their environment. This recognition is an important developmental milestone in an infant's early cognitive and social development.
