Question 2 of 5
Parents of a newborn are concerned because the infant's eyes often "look crossed" when the infant is looking at an object. The nurse's response is that this is normal based on the knowledge that binocularity is normally present by what age?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Binocularity refers to the ability of both eyes to focus on the same object and create a single, three-dimensional image. In infants, binocularity typically develops between the ages of 6 to 8 months. Prior to this age, it is common for infants to show occasional misalignment or "crossed" eyes when focusing on an object. This is usually a normal part of the visual development process and tends to resolve as binocular vision strengthens with age. Therefore, it is considered normal for newborns to show occasional crossed eyes until binocularity develops around 6 to 8 months of age.

Question 4 of 5
At what age should the nurse expect an infant to begin smiling in response to pleasurable stimuli?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Infants typically begin to smile in response to pleasurable stimuli around 2 months of age. This social smile is an important developmental milestone in infants and signifies their growing social awareness and ability to engage with others. By the age of 2 months, infants are starting to develop social connections and recognize familiar faces, which often elicits smiles in response to positive interactions. Though some infants may start smiling earlier or later, the average age for the emergence of social smiles is around 2 months.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing an in-service education to staff about atraumatic care for pediatric patients. Which intervention should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Atraumatic care for pediatric patients aims to minimize emotional and psychological distress during hospitalization or medical procedures. Option B, preparing the child before any unfamiliar treatment or procedure by demonstrating it on a stuffed animal, is an appropriate intervention. This technique allows the child to understand what will happen, reduces fear of the unknown, and promotes a sense of control. By using a stuffed animal as a teaching tool, the nurse can provide clear information to the child in a non-threatening way, helping to alleviate anxiety and stress. This intervention encourages trust between the child and healthcare provider and promotes a positive healthcare experience for the pediatric patient.
