Pediatric Research Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a preterm newborn. Which interventions should the nurse implement for skin care? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse has just started assessing a young child who is febrile and appears very ill. There is hyperextension of the child's head (opisthotonos) with pain on flexion. Which is the most appropriate action?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Referring the child for immediate medical evaluation is the most appropriate action in this scenario. The symptoms described, including hyperextension of the head (opisthotonos) with pain on flexion, are concerning for meningitis, a serious infection that can rapidly progress and lead to serious complications if not treated promptly. Seeking immediate medical intervention is crucial to assess and manage the child's condition effectively. Continuing with the assessment or asking about a neck injury is not recommended as the priority is to address the potential medical emergency. Recording the "head lag" without taking immediate action could delay necessary medical treatment.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse must check vital signs on a 2-year-old boy who is brought to the clinic for his 24- month checkup. What criteria should the nurse use in determining the appropriate-size blood pressure cuff? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is discussing development and play activities with the parent of a 2-month-old. Recommendations should include giving a first rattle at about which age?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: At 2 months old, infants start to demonstrate more control over their arm movements and are becoming more aware of objects around them. They may also start to grasp objects intentionally. Giving a first rattle at this age can help stimulate their senses, promote sensory exploration, and encourage their fine motor skills development. This early exposure to different textures, shapes, and sounds can also aid in their cognitive and sensory development, making it an appropriate choice for a parent looking to support their baby's early growth and learning.
Question 5 of 5
Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to, according to the child's age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The developmental level of the child most impacts the type of injury they are susceptible to based on their age. As children grow and develop, their physical abilities, cognitive skills, and understanding of the environment change. Younger children may be more susceptible to injuries related to exploration and lack of awareness of dangerous situations, while older children may be more prone to injuries during physical activities or sports. Understanding the developmental stage of a child is crucial in assessing potential risks and implementing appropriate safety measures to prevent injuries.
