Pediatric CCRN Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
During the initial assessment, he is placed in a modified Trendelenburg position. What desired effect should the position have on the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placing a client in a modified Trendelenburg position involves having the client lie flat on the back with the legs elevated above the level of the heart. The main purpose of this position is to help increase blood pressure in cases of hypotension or shock. By raising the legs above the heart level, gravity helps to facilitate the return of venous blood to the heart, which can increase cardiac output and, consequently, blood pressure. This position is commonly used in clinical settings to help improve perfusion to vital organs and assist in stabilizing a client's blood pressure.
Question 2 of 5
Which is the most significant factor in distinguishing those who commit suicide from those who make suicidal attempts or threats?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The most significant factor in distinguishing those who commit suicide from those who make suicidal attempts or threats is the desire to punish others. Individuals who commit suicide often exhibit behaviors or thought patterns indicating a desire to cause harm or guilt to others. This desire to punish others may drive them to take their own lives as a way to make others feel responsible or suffer the consequences of their actions. On the other hand, individuals who make suicidal attempts or threats may not have the same level of intent to harm others through their actions, and their motivations may stem from different underlying issues such as social isolation, stress, or depression. Therefore, the desire to punish others is a crucial factor that sets those who commit suicide apart from those who make attempts or threats.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse knows which of the following is true about immunity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by a type of white blood cell called B-lymphocytes (B-cells). These antibodies play a crucial role in the immune response by recognizing and binding to specific antigens such as pathogens. This binding can lead to the inactivation of the pathogens or marking them for destruction by other immune cells. B-cells are a key component of the humoral immune response, which involves the production of antibodies to defend against infections. The statement that antibodies are produced by the B-cells is, therefore, true.
Question 4 of 5
The examiner shines a light in the patient's eyes and notes that the pupils are round and constrict from 4 to 2 mm bilaterally. Next, the examiner asks the patient to focus on a far object, then on the examiner's finger as it is brought from 3 feet distance to 5 inches distance. The pupils constrict bilaterally and the eyes turn inward. Which of the ff. would be the correct documentation of these findings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: PERRLA stands for Pupils Equal Round Reactive to Light and Accommodation. This acronym is used to document the findings seen during a neurological examination of the pupils.
Question 5 of 5
