ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions
Question 1 of 5
After teaching a group of nursing students about developmental milestones for children between the ages of 1 and 4 years, the instructor determines that the teaching was successful when the students identify which of the following as a gross motor developmental milestone that occurs between 2 to 3 years of age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Climbing is a gross motor milestone typically achieved between 2 to 3 years of age. It involves coordination and strength. Jumping in place is usually mastered around 2 years of age. Standing on one foot with help is a skill that emerges around 3 years. Riding a tricycle typically occurs closer to 3 years and involves coordination and balance, which are more refined skills compared to climbing at an earlier age.
Question 2 of 5
During an otoscopic examination on an infant, in which direction is the pinna pulled?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For infants, the pinna is pulled down and back to straighten the ear canal and allow proper visualization of the tympanic membrane during otoscopic examination.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 3-year-old child. Which assessment finding would the nurse identify as abnormal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Falling when bending over to touch toes could indicate a developmental delay or a balance issue that may need further assessment. Choices A, B, and D are typical developmental milestones for a 3-year-old child. Pedaling a tricycle without assistance, unscrewing a bolt on a toy, and building a tower of 10 cubes are all age-appropriate activities for a child of this age.
Question 4 of 5
An 8-year-old girl asks the nurse how the blood pressure apparatus works. The most appropriate nursing action is which?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Providing a simple explanation satisfies the child's curiosity and helps reduce any anxiety about the procedure.
Question 5 of 5
Superficial palpation of the abdomen is often perceived by the child as tickling. Which measure by the nurse is most likely to minimize this sensation and promote relaxation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Allowing the child to place their hand over the nurse's hand helps reduce the tickling sensation and increases the child's comfort during the examination.
