Pediatric NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is conducting a teaching session for parents of infants. The nurse explains that which behavior indicates that an infant has developed object permanence?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they can't be seen, heard, or touched. When an infant actively searches for a hidden object, it demonstrates that the infant has developed object permanence. This behavior implies that the infant understands that the object still exists even though it is temporarily out of sight. This usually emerges around 8-12 months of age, according to Piaget's theory of cognitive development. The other choices do not specifically relate to the concept of object permanence as directly as actively searching for a hidden object does.

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 5 of 5
Nurse Hannah is administering a steroid to a child diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP); which of the following should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a condition characterized by a low platelet count, which can lead to an increased risk of bleeding. Steroids are often prescribed to help increase platelet production in patients with ITP. Therefore, the nurse should monitor the child for signs of bleeding, such as petechiae, ecchymosis, gum bleeding, and other unusual bleeding manifestations. Monitoring for bleeding is crucial to assess the effectiveness of the steroid treatment and to prevent complications associated with ITP.
