Pediatric Emergency Nursing PICO Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
An adolescent girl calls the nurse at the clinic because she had unprotected sex the night before and does not want to be pregnant. What should the nurse explain to the girl?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this scenario, the most appropriate option for the nurse to explain to the adolescent girl is postcoital contraception, also known as emergency contraception or the morning-after pill. Postcoital contraception is a method used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It works by preventing or delaying ovulation, inhibiting fertilization, or preventing implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus.
Question 2 of 5
Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is diagnosed in a 6-month-old infant. Which should the nurse recommend as a substitute formula?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nutramigen is a hypoallergenic formula specifically designed for infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA). It is extensively hydrolyzed, which means the cow's milk proteins are broken down into smaller pieces, making it easier for babies with CMA to digest without triggering an allergic reaction. Other options such as goat's milk, Similac, and Enfamil are not suitable substitutes for an infant with CMA as they may still contain proteins that can cause an allergic response in these infants. Therefore, Nutramigen is the most appropriate recommendation for a 6-month-old infant diagnosed with cow's milk allergy.
Question 3 of 5
Poor prognostic factors in Hodgkin lymphoma include all the following EXCEPT
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Older age is generally considered a poor prognostic factor, but not necessarily worse than other listed options.
Question 4 of 5
A newborn is being discharged at age 48 hours. The parents ask how the newborn should be bathed this first week home. How should the nurse recommend to bathe the newborn?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: It is recommended to bathe a newborn only a few times during the first week with plain water to avoid drying out the baby's delicate skin. Newborns do not need to be bathed daily, as excessive bathing can strip their skin of natural oils and lead to dryness or irritation. Plain water is gentle and sufficient for cleaning a newborn's skin without causing any harm. After the first week, parents can gradually introduce mild soap if needed for cleaning, but it is still not necessary to bathe the baby daily.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to complete an admission assessment on a 2-year-old child. The child is sitting on the parent's lap. Which technique should the nurse implement to complete the physical exam?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The most appropriate technique in this scenario would be to perform the exam while the child is on the parent's lap. This approach helps build trust and comfort for the child, as they are in a familiar and secure environment. It can also help the nurse assess the child's behavior and interactions with the parent during the exam, providing valuable information about the child's developmental stage and emotional well-being. Additionally, conducting the exam in this way can help reduce anxiety and fear that the child may experience in an unfamiliar setting like the hospital crib or exam room.
