Question 1 of 5
A nurse is doing an assessment on a newborn. Which is characteristic of a newborn's vision at birth and an expected finding during the assessment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: At birth, a newborn's vision is not fully developed. However, one of the characteristics of a newborn's vision is that their pupils are able to react to light. This response helps to protect the newborn's developing eyes from excessive light exposure. During a newborn assessment, it is expected that the nurse will observe the pupil constriction in response to a bright light source, indicating a normal functioning of the pupillary reflex. This physiological response is vital for assessing the newborn's neurological integrity and visual function.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching nursing students about childhood skin lesions. Which is an elevated, circumscribed skin lesion that is less than 1 cm in diameter and filled with serous fluid?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A vesicle is an elevated, circumscribed skin lesion that is less than 1 cm in diameter and filled with serous fluid. Serous fluid is a clear, watery fluid that can accumulate within the vesicle. Vesicles are commonly seen in conditions such as herpes simplex virus infections (cold sores) and contact dermatitis. It is important for nursing students to understand the characteristics of different skin lesions to accurately assess and provide appropriate care for patients.
Question 3 of 5
Acyclovir (Zovirax) is given to children with chickenpox to:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acyclovir (Zovirax) is an antiviral medication commonly used to treat infections caused by the herpes virus, including chickenpox. When given to children with chickenpox, acyclovir helps decrease the number of lesions present on the skin by slowing down the replication of the virus. This not only helps alleviate the discomfort associated with the rash but also reduces the risk of potential complications and accelerates the healing process. While acyclovir does not completely eliminate the virus from the body, it can help control the symptoms and prevent severe manifestations.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an oral iron supplement to a hospitalized infant. Which should not be given simultaneously with the iron supplement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Milk should not be given simultaneously with an oral iron supplement because calcium in milk can interfere with the absorption of iron. Calcium competes with iron for absorption in the digestive tract, thereby reducing the absorption of iron when both are taken together. It is advisable to wait at least 1-2 hours after giving the iron supplement before offering milk to ensure optimal absorption of iron. This is a common practice to improve iron absorption and prevent any potential decrease in the effectiveness of the iron supplement.
