Question 1 of 5
An infant, age 5 months, is brought to the clinic by his parents for a well-baby checkup. What is the best advice that the nurse should include at this time about injury prevention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Small objects are a choking hazard for infants, so it is crucial to keep them out of reach to prevent injury.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment on a 10-week-old infant. The nurse understands that the developmental characteristic of hearing at this age is which?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: By 10 weeks, infants typically turn their heads to the side to locate the source of a sound made at ear level.
Question 3 of 5
The apnea monitor alarm sounds on a neonate for the third time during this shift. What is the priority action by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The priority action for the nurse when the apnea monitor alarm sounds on a neonate is to assess the infant for color and the presence of respirations. This initial assessment helps determine the infant's respiratory status and the need for immediate intervention. Providing tactile stimulation or administering oxygen should only be done after assessing the infant's respiratory status. Investigating possible causes of a false alarm comes after ensuring the infant's well-being through the initial assessment.

The parents of a 12-month-old child ask the nurse if the child can eat hot dogs as do their other children. The nurse's reply should be based on what?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Cutting hot dogs into small, irregular pieces reduces the risk of aspiration, which is a significant choking hazard for young children.
Question 5 of 5
What should the nurse explain about ringworm?
