Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the school-age child is in which stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Industry vs. inferiority.' According to Erikson's theory, school-age children (approximately 6-12 years old) are in the stage of industry vs. inferiority. In this stage, children focus on developing a sense of competence and productivity. Choice B, 'Autonomy vs. shame and doubt,' is incorrect as it refers to the stage that occurs during early childhood (1-3 years old). Choice C, 'Identity vs. role diffusion,' pertains to adolescence (12-18 years old). Choice D, 'Trust vs. mistrust,' is related to the stage of infancy (0-1 year old). Therefore, option A is the most appropriate stage for school-age children in Erikson's theory.
Question 2 of 5
Which one of the following strategies might be recommended for an infant with failure to thrive (FTT) to increase caloric intake?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Being persistent through 10 to 15 minutes of food refusal is recommended to help increase caloric intake in infants with FTT. Establishing a routine and using developmental stimulation can also be helpful, but the priority is ensuring adequate caloric intake.
Question 3 of 5
The mother of a 3-month-old breastfed infant asks about giving her baby water because it is summer and very warm. What should the nurse tell her?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Breast milk provides adequate hydration, even in warm weather, so additional fluids like water are not necessary and can interfere with breastfeeding.
