Question 1 of 5

As part of a routine health screening, the nurse notes the play of a 2-year-old child. Which of the following is an example of age-appropriate play at this age?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'says 'Mine!' when playing with toys.' At the age of 2, children are in the stage of parallel play and are possessive of their belongings, hence saying 'Mine!' is an age-appropriate behavior. Building towers with blocks (choice A) involves more advanced motor skills and cognitive abilities, which are beyond what most 2-year-olds can do. Trying to color within the lines (choice B) requires fine motor skills that are typically not developed at age 2. Jumping rope (choice D) involves coordination and balance that are beyond the capabilities of a 2-year-old child.

Question 2 of 5

A client who is experiencing infertility says to the nurse, 'I feel I will be incomplete as a man/woman if I cannot have a child.' Which of the following nursing diagnoses is likely to be appropriate for this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct nursing diagnosis for this client is 'Body Image Disturbance.' The client's statement reflects concerns about self-identity and feeling incomplete due to infertility, which aligns with Body Image Disturbance. The statement does not directly indicate a risk for self-harm, so 'Risk for Self-Harm' is not the correct choice. 'Ineffective Role Performance' is not the best option as it does not address the client's primary concern regarding self-image. While 'Powerlessness' could be appropriate if the client expressed feelings of powerlessness related to infertility, it is not the most suitable diagnosis based on the given statement.

Question 3 of 5

An assessment of the skull of a normal 10-month-old baby should identify which of the following?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is the closure of the anterior fontanel. By 10 months of age, the anterior fontanel should be closed. The posterior fontanel should actually close by the age of 2 months, making choice A incorrect. Overlap of cranial bones is not a typical finding in a normal 10-month-old baby's skull, so choice C is incorrect. Ossification of the sutures is an ongoing process in skull development and should not be a definitive indicator at this age, making choice D incorrect.

Question 4 of 5

What is the primary focus of a case manager?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Managing the comprehensive care needs of the client for continuity of care.' Case managers oversee all aspects of a client's care to ensure continuity throughout their healthcare journey. Choice A is incorrect as it focuses only on nursing care needs at discharge, which is just a part of the overall care needed. Choice C narrows down the focus to client education needs, excluding other essential care components. Choice D solely considers financial resources, neglecting the broader scope of care needs that a case manager is accountable for.

Question 5 of 5

The teaching plan for gay or lesbian parents who want to disclose their homosexuality to their children should include all of the following instructions except:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is to explain how your relationship with the child changes because of the discussion. Children of gay and lesbian parents should be reassured that their relationship with their parent will not change due to the disclosure. Choices A, B, and C are all important aspects of the disclosure process. It is crucial to disclose the information before the child knows or suspects, be comfortable with your sexual preference first, and have the discussion in a quiet place to ensure a safe and open environment for communication. Explaining how the relationship with the child changes might create unnecessary anxiety or confusion. Children may have different reactions based on their age, understanding, and environment. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a sense of stability and security in the parent-child relationship while addressing any questions or concerns that may arise.
