Pediatric Emergency Nursing PICO Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
All the following are recognizable teratogens EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hypothermia is not traditionally considered a teratogen compared to others listed.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is conducting a staff in-service on congenital heart defects. Which structural defect constitutes tetralogy of Fallot?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tetralogy of Fallot is a combination of four structural defects in the heart. These include pulmonic stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve or artery), ventricular septal defect (hole in the wall that separates the two lower chambers of the heart), overriding aorta (aorta positioned directly over the ventricular septal defect), and right ventricular hypertrophy (enlargement of the right ventricle due to increased workload). Therefore, the correct combination of defects that constitute tetralogy of Fallot is pulmonic stenosis, ventricular septal defect, overriding aorta, and right ventricular hypertrophy, which is option A.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse approaches a hospitalized poststroke patient from the patient's left side to do an assessment. The patient is staring straight ahead, and does not respond to the nurse's presence or voice. Which action should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse should walk to the other side of the bed and approach the patient from the right side. Poststroke patients may have neglect syndrome, which can cause them to ignore stimuli on one side of their body. By approaching from the neglected side (the right side in this case), the nurse may be able to better capture the patient's attention and engage them in the assessment process. It is essential to adapt care to accommodate the patient's condition and ensure effective communication and interaction.
Question 4 of 5
Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is characterized by all the following EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is not typically associated with hemangiomas.
Question 5 of 5
Which is an objective of care for a 10-year-old child with minimal change nephrotic syndrome?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The management goal for a child with minimal change nephrotic syndrome is to reduce the excretion of urinary protein. In this condition, there is an abnormal loss of protein in the urine due to damage in the glomeruli of the kidneys. Reducing the excretion of urinary protein helps prevent complications associated with protein loss, such as edema and hypoalbuminemia. While reducing blood pressure may be important in some cases, the primary focus for this specific condition is to address the protein leak in the urine. Increasing the excretion of urinary protein would worsen the condition, and increasing the ability of tissues to retain fluid is not the desired outcome in this context.
