Question 2 of 5
a hospitalized child with nephrosis is receiving high doses of prednisone. which of the following is an appropriate nursing goal related to this?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: High doses of prednisone suppress the immune system, putting the hospitalized child at an increased risk for infections. Therefore, an appropriate nursing goal related to this situation would be to prevent infection by implementing measures such as hand hygiene, maintaining a clean environment, and monitoring for signs and symptoms of infection. It is crucial to protect the child from acquiring additional illnesses while undergoing treatment for nephrosis.
Question 3 of 5
A 10-mo-old boy has a left suprarenal mass. Surgery is accomplished with complete removal of the mass as well as the non-adherent lymph nodes; surgical biopsies are taken during surgery.

Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a child with Wilms' tumor, the nurse would expect to detect an abdominal mass upon assessment. Wilms' tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a type of kidney cancer that commonly presents as a firm, non-tender abdominal mass. This mass may be felt upon palpation of the abdomen. Gross hematuria (A) is not a typical finding associated with Wilms' tumor. Dysuria (B) is the term used to describe painful or difficult urination and is not a characteristic symptom of Wilms' tumor. Nausea and vomiting (C) are also not commonly associated with Wilms' tumor, unless the tumor is causing obstruction or compression of nearby structures in the abdomen.
Question 5 of 5
A client has undergone the Snellen eye chart test and has 20/40 vision. Which of the ff is true for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the Snellen eye chart test, the first number (20) represents the distance at which the client is standing from the chart, while the second number (40) represents the distance at which a person with normal vision can read the same line on the chart. A person with 20/40 vision can see letters at 20 feet that a person with normal vision can see at 40 feet. This means that the client's vision is below the standard for normal vision, indicating that they may need corrective lenses to improve their visual acuity.
