Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions

Question 1 of 5

At which age do most infants begin to fear strangers?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Fear of strangers typically begins around 6 months as infants start recognizing familiar and unfamiliar faces, which is part of their social development.

Question 2 of 5

During the 2-month well-child checkup, the nurse expects the infant to respond to sound in which manner?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: At 2 months, infants typically react to loud noises with the Moro reflex, a startle response that is normal at this stage of development.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is assessing a child suspected of having pinworms. Which is the most common symptom the nurse expects to assess?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Intense perianal itching is the most common symptom of pinworm infection, especially at night when the female worms lay their eggs

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is performing an assessment on a 12-month-old infant. Which fine or gross motor developmental skill demonstrates the proximodistal acquisition of skills?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The development of a pincer grasp reflects fine motor skills, which develop in a proximodistal pattern (from the center of the body outward).

Question 5 of 5

In planning care for children, the nurse considers children's anxiety about hospitalization. Which measure should be included in the child's plan of care to help reduce anxiety?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Therapeutic play should be included in the child's plan of care to help reduce anxiety during hospitalization. It is an effective strategy that allows children to express their feelings, understand procedures, and reduce anxiety levels. Time-out (choice B) is not suitable for addressing anxiety related to hospitalization. Counseling (choice C) may be beneficial but is not as specifically tailored to reduce anxiety in the hospital setting as therapeutic play. Movies (choice D) may provide a temporary distraction but do not actively involve the child in addressing their emotions and fears associated with hospitalization.
