Question 1 of 5

In general, how much is a child that was 10 pounds at birth expected to weigh at 6 months old?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. A child is expected to double their birth weight by 6 months. This is a common guideline used to monitor healthy growth and development in infants. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the expected weight based on the given information.

Question 2 of 5

An eleven-year-old boy is admitted with a history of type 1 diabetes. What information about school age should the nurse use to formulate the teaching plan for daily injections?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: By the age of eleven, many children are capable of administering their own insulin injections with supervision, fostering independence and better management of their diabetes. This age is appropriate for the child to take on more responsibility for their care. While parental involvement is still crucial for supervision and guidance, the child can start to learn and perform the injections themselves. Choice A is incorrect because parental involvement is important for safety and proper technique. Choice C is incorrect as waiting until closer to adolescence may delay the child's ability to manage their diabetes effectively. Choice D is incorrect as reaching injection sites is not the sole criteria; proper technique and supervision are essential.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is teaching parents about potential causes of colic in infancy. Which should the nurse include in the teaching session?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Overeating, swallowing excessive air (leading to frequent burping), and parental smoking are known to contribute to colic in infants. Understimulation is not typically associated with colic.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is teaching parents guidelines for feeding their 8-month-old infant with failure to thrive (FTT). Which statement by the parents indicates a need for further teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Providing 8 oz of juice daily is excessive for an 8-month-old infant and can displace other nutrient-rich foods or formulas that are necessary for growth, especially in an infant with FTT.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse has completed an education program on normal communication abilities in the preschool-age child. Which statement by a participant indicates a need for further education?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. By age 5, children should be able to state their name and address. If a child cannot do this, it may indicate a developmental delay that requires further assessment. Choices A, B, and D do not indicate a need for further education as they reflect typical developmental milestones for preschool-age children, such as gradually improving counting skills, asking many questions, and improving speech clarity over time.
