Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions

Question 1 of 5

Latex allergy is suspected in a child with spina bifida. What are appropriate nursing interventions to include in care of this patient?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Avoid using any latex product.' In the case of a suspected latex allergy, it is crucial to prevent exposure to latex products to avoid allergic reactions. Choice B is incorrect because there are no truly non-allergenic latex products. Choice C is irrelevant to the situation described in the question, as the child does not have asthma. Choice D is also incorrect because desensitization is not an immediate option for managing a suspected latex allergy.

Question 2 of 5

In teaching parents about appropriate pacifier selection, the nurse should recommend which characteristic?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A pacifier with an easily grasped handle is safer and more convenient for the infant to use without the risk of choking hazards that detachable parts might pose.

Question 3 of 5

The apnea monitor alarm sounds on a neonate for the third time during this shift. What is the priority action by the nurse?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The priority action for the nurse when the apnea monitor alarm sounds on a neonate is to assess the infant for color and the presence of respirations. This initial assessment helps determine the infant's respiratory status and the need for immediate intervention. Providing tactile stimulation or administering oxygen should only be done after assessing the infant's respiratory status. Investigating possible causes of a false alarm comes after ensuring the infant's well-being through the initial assessment.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is discussing development and play activities with the parent of a 2-month-old boy. Which statement by the parent would indicate a correct understanding of the teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: At 2 months, infants are most stimulated by visual and auditory activities, such as a music box or soft mobiles. These activities help in sensory development and are appropriate for this age.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is administering the first hepatitis A vaccine to an 18-month-old child. When should the child return to the clinic for the second dose of hepatitis A vaccination?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The second dose of the hepatitis A vaccine is recommended 6 months after the first dose to ensure full immunity.
