Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a child who has a new diagnosis of osteomyelitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The nurse should monitor the child’s weight daily to assess the effectiveness of treatment for osteomyelitis and detect potential complications.

Question 2 of 5

At what age range is it important to feed a baby in a more upright position and no longer in sidelying?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Feeding a baby in a more upright position and no longer in sidelying is important around 4-6 months of age. At this stage, babies start developing better head and trunk control, which allows them to sit in a more upright position for feeding, promoting safer and more efficient swallowing and digestion.

Question 3 of 5

When the home health nurse visits the home of a 10-month-old child, she observes the environment for risks of injury to the child. Which observation will the nurse discuss with the mother?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because leaving a filled mop bucket on the floor poses a drowning hazard for a 10-month-old child. Water in the bucket can be a potential drowning risk if the child falls into it. Pan handles turned to the back of the stove prevent accidental spills or burns. Filling the bathtub before bringing the baby into the bathroom helps in preventing burns from hot water. Placing the child in a car seat in the middle of the back seat provides safety by minimizing the risk of injury during a car ride.

Question 4 of 5

What is it called when the therapist brings a toy closer to the child so they can successfully reach and grasp it during therapy?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Grading involves adjusting the difficulty level of an activity to match the child's abilities. Bringing a toy closer for easier reach is an example of grading in therapy, helping the child succeed in reaching and grasping the toy within their current capabilities.

Question 5 of 5

When educating a parent of an infant with a new prescription for digoxin, which instruction should the nurse provide?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: It is crucial for the nurse to monitor the infant's heart rate before giving digoxin to identify any signs of digoxin toxicity early. Heart rate assessment helps in detecting and preventing potential complications associated with digoxin use.
