Fluid Maintenance Pediatrics Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
gauge needle for drawing up medication and injecting it
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using a 1 inch needle is the appropriate gauge needle for drawing up medication and injecting it. The length of the needle is important to ensure that the medication reaches the intended target area and is administered effectively. Shorter needles may not penetrate deep enough, while longer needles may increase the risk of complications such as injecting the medication into the wrong tissue or causing discomfort to the patient. Therefore, using a 1 inch needle is the correct choice for administering medication safely and accurately.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following malignancies is least likely to occur in a 10-month-old infant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hepatoblastoma is rare in infants under 1 year old, being more common in toddlers.
Question 3 of 5
An infant can move his head from side to side while following a moving object, can lift his head from a prone position 45 degrees off the examining table, smiles when encouraged, and makes cooing sounds. He cannot maintain a seated position. The most likely age of the infant is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At 3 months, infants typically develop the ability to lift their heads 45 degrees in prone, follow objects with their eyes, smile responsively, and make cooing sounds. They are not yet able to sit independently.
Question 4 of 5
A patient is admitted with a diagnosis of renal failure. He also mentions that he has stomach distress and ha ingested numerous antacid tablets over the past 2 days. His blood pressure is 110/70, his face is flushed, and he is experiencing generalized weakness. Choose the most likely magnesium (Mg ) value.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The patient's presentation suggests that he may be suffering from hypermagnesemia (high magnesium levels) due to excessive ingestion of antacid tablets. Symptoms of hypermagnesemia can include flushing, weakness, and low blood pressure. A serum magnesium level of 11mEq/L is consistent with hypermagnesemia. In this scenario, the other values (2mEq/L, 5mEq/L, 1mEq/L) are unlikely to be the correct magnesium level based on the patient's symptoms and history of antacid ingestion.
Question 5 of 5
At what age should the nurse expect an infant to begin smiling in response to pleasurable stimuli?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Infants typically begin to smile in response to pleasurable stimuli around 2 months of age. This social smile is an important developmental milestone in infants and signifies their growing social awareness and ability to engage with others. By the age of 2 months, infants are starting to develop social connections and recognize familiar faces, which often elicits smiles in response to positive interactions. Though some infants may start smiling earlier or later, the average age for the emergence of social smiles is around 2 months.
