Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assigned to four children of different ages. In which age group should the nurse understand that body integrity is a concern? TestBankWorld.org
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Body integrity becomes a concern in adolescence, which is the period of development marked by rapid physical changes and self-awareness. Adolescents may experience body image issues, peer pressure, and the desire to conform to societal standards, which can lead to behaviors that compromise their body integrity, such as risky behaviors, eating disorders, self-harm, or seeking cosmetic procedures. By understanding the concerns surrounding body integrity in adolescents, the nurse can provide appropriate support, education, and guidance to promote healthy body image and self-esteem.
Question 2 of 5
How does the nurse assess a child's capillary refill time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Capillary refill time is a clinical assessment used to evaluate peripheral perfusion. To perform this assessment on a child, the nurse would gently press on the child's nail bed or skin, causing the area to momentarily blanch (turn white) as blood is temporarily forced out of the capillaries. Once pressure is released, the nurse observes and times how quickly the color returns to normal. A normal capillary refill time in a child is less than 2 seconds. This method helps the nurse determine if the child's peripheral circulation is adequate. Inspecting the chest (choice A), auscultating the heart (choice B), and palpating the apical pulse (choice C) are not appropriate methods for assessing capillary refill time.
Question 3 of 5
At what age can most infants sit steadily unsupported?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Most infants can sit steadily unsupported at around 8 months of age. By this time, they have developed sufficient strength and control in their core muscles to sit up without support. It is important for parents to provide a safe environment for their infants to practice sitting up and to always supervise them during this milestone development.
