Pediatric NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Blood cells are formed in the:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Blood cells are formed in the bone marrow, which is a soft tissue found in the center of most bones in the body. The process of blood cell formation is known as hematopoiesis. Bone marrow contains stem cells that can develop into different types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These blood cells play essential roles in carrying oxygen, fighting infections, and assisting in blood clotting. While the other choices listed (arterioles, lymphoid tissue, and muscle tissue) have important functions in the body, blood cell formation specifically occurs primarily in the bone marrow.
Question 2 of 5
A 4-year-old weighing 15 kg produces 150 mL of urine in 10 hours. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Expected urine output is 0.5-1 mL/kg/hr. For a 15-kg child over 10 hours, 75-150 mL is within normal limits.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse will assess a loss of ability in which of the following areas?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse will assess a loss of ability in the area of balance. Balance is an essential component of the physical function that allows individuals to maintain an upright posture and stability during movement. A loss of balance can significantly impact a person's mobility, coordination, and safety. Nurses often assess balance as part of their evaluations to identify any impairments that may affect a patient's independence and daily activities.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements about fluid replacement is accurate for a client with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (HHNS)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For a client with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome (HHNS), the correct statement is to administer 6L of IV fluid over the first 24 hours (option B). The management of HHNS focuses on correcting dehydration and hyperglycemia. The initial fluid resuscitation in HHNS aims to address the profound dehydration that occurs due to osmotic diuresis from hyperglycemia. The recommended rate is to administer 1 to 1.5 L/hour of IV fluid until the patient is hemodynamically stable and urine output is adequate. Administering fluid rapidly helps to address the hypovolemia and prevent complications associated with shock. Administering fluid too slowly may delay the correction of dehydration and lead to further complications.
