Pediatric Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A six-month-old infant develops cardiac arrest following severe pneumonia. Which is the ideal airway opening maneuver?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In infants, the head tilt-chin lift to a neutral position maintains an open airway without excessive extension, which could obstruct airflow.
Question 2 of 5
A client with a history of chronic hyperparathyroidism admits to being noncompliant. Based on initial assessment findings, the nurse formulates the nursing diagnosis of Risk for injury. To complete the nursing diagnosis statement for this client, which "related-to" phrase should the nurse add?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chronic hyperparathyroidism can lead to excessive bone demineralization due to increased levels of parathyroid hormone. This can weaken the bones and increase the risk for pathologic fractures. Therefore, the most appropriate "related-to" phrase to add to the nursing diagnosis of Risk for injury for a client with chronic hyperparathyroidism would be bone demineralization resulting in pathologic fractures. This accurately reflects the potential risk for injury associated with the client's condition.
Question 3 of 5
In severe form of Tetralogy of Fallot, all are true Except:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Severe TOF typically presents with cyanosis, clubbing, right ventricular hypertrophy, and a systolic murmur. Cardiomegaly is not a common feature as the right ventricle is hypertrophied but not dilated.
Question 4 of 5
A 32-week preterm baby on mechanical ventilation, recovering from RDS, has a satisfactory blood gas, and ventilatory settings are being reduced for weaning. What is the most valuable indicator that the baby is ready for extubation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The best indicator for extubation readiness is a low FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) because it indicates the infant is maintaining adequate oxygenation with minimal support.
