ATI RN
RN Nursing Care of Children Online Practice 2019 A Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse must do a venipuncture on a 6-year-old child. What consideration is important in providing atraumatic care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Showing the child the equipment before the procedure helps build trust and reduces fear. Using an 18-gauge needle is too large for a child, and multiple attempts can increase trauma. Restraining completely can increase fear and anxiety.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse suspects that a child has ingested some type of poison. What clinical manifestation would be most suggestive that the poison was a corrosive product?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Edema of the lips, tongue, and pharynx is a characteristic sign of corrosive poisoning, indicating damage to mucous membranes from ingestion of a caustic substance. Other symptoms may vary depending on the poison but are not as specific to corrosive ingestion.
Question 3 of 5
Urinary tract anomalies are frequently associated with what irregularities in fetal development?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Malformed or low-set ears are often associated with congenital urinary tract anomalies, as both the ears and kidneys develop around the same time during fetal growth. Myelomeningocele, cardiovascular anomalies, and lower extremity defects are less commonly associated with UT anomalies.
Question 4 of 5
The school nurse suspects a testicular torsion in a young adolescent student. What action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency requiring immediate medical evaluation. Applying heat or elevating the legs will not alleviate the torsion, and delaying care can lead to testicular necrosis.
Question 5 of 5
What organism is a parasite that causes acute diarrhea?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Giardia lamblia is a protozoan parasite known to cause acute diarrhea, often through contaminated water or food. Shigella, Salmonella, and E. coli are bacterial pathogens that also cause diarrhea but are not parasites.
