NP Practice Questions Pediatric Immunizations Questions
Question 1 of 5
During a routine pediatric visit, a 4-month-old patient will need which of the following vaccines?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: At 4 months, the CDC schedule includes RV (dose 2), DTaP (dose 2), Hib (dose 2), PCV (dose 2), and IPV (dose 2) (Choice C). MMR and Varicella start at 12-15 months, HepA at 12 months, and HepB dose 3 is typically at 6-18 months, not 4 months.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer oral medication to a toddler. What action should the nurse take to ensure proper administration?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Crushing medication (if safe) and mixing with a small amount of food aids administration in toddlers (1-3 years), who resist pills (pediatric nursing practice). Choices B, C, and D are less practical for this age.
Question 3 of 5
Which action should the nurse take first when caring for a child experiencing a seizure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Clearing the area prevents injury during a seizure (AAP), the first priority. Restraining (Choice A) or tongue blades (Choice C) are outdated and harmful; positioning (Choice B) is secondary.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is assessing a child with suspected meningitis. Which sign or symptom is most indicative of this condition?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Photophobia (light sensitivity) is a classic meningitis sign (AAP), due to meningeal irritation, more specific than other options.
Question 5 of 5
A child with asthma is experiencing difficulty breathing. Which medication should the nurse administer for immediate relief?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Albuterol, a bronchodilator, provides immediate relief in asthma (NHLBI). Other options treat pain or inflammation, not acute breathing issues.
