Pediatric Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 9
Rodolfo, an 85 year old, is admitted for comtinuous cramping pain as the result of intermittent claudication. When conducting an initial physical assessment, the nurse is unable to palpate the pedal pulses. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this scenario, the nurse's first action should be to obtain a Doppler ultrasound device to assess the pedal pulses. If the nurse was unable to palpate the pedal pulses initially, the use of a Doppler can help in accurately identifying the pulses. It is essential to confirm the absence or presence of peripheral pulses before taking any further actions. This will provide crucial information for the physician to determine the appropriate course of treatment. Conducting a Doppler assessment will assist in evaluating the severity of the situation and guide the next steps in the patient's care plan.
Question 2 of 9
Cancer is the second major cause of death in this country. What is the first step toward effective cancer control?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The first step toward effective cancer control is changing habits and customs that predispose individuals to cancer. Prevention is key in reducing the incidence of cancer. By addressing factors like smoking, poor diet, lack of physical activity, excessive alcohol consumption, and exposure to carcinogens in the environment, the risk of developing cancer can be significantly reduced. Education and awareness play a crucial role in encouraging individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles and behaviors to minimize their cancer risk. While screening and early detection are also important aspects of cancer control, prevention through lifestyle modifications is the fundamental strategy in reducing the burden of cancer in the population.

Question 5 of 9
Which of the ff. statements does the nurse understand is true concerning air conduction of sound in the ear?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Air conduction of sound in the ear involves the transmission of sound waves through the air from the outer ear canal to the middle ear, where they cause the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted through the ossicles (tiny bones in the middle ear) to the inner ear, where they ultimately stimulate the hair cells in the cochlea to create the auditory nerve impulses. While air conduction is the most common method of sound transmission, it is less efficient than bone conduction. Bone conduction is the transmission of sound vibrations directly to the inner ear through the bones in the skull. This method bypasses the outer and middle ear and is often more efficient in conducting sound, especially at higher frequencies or in individuals with hearing loss related to the outer or middle ear.

Question 9 of 9
During a well-baby visit, Liza asks the nurse when she should start giving her infant solid foods. The nurse should instruct her to introduce which solid food first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When introducing solid foods to an infant for the first time, rice cereal is generally recommended as it is mild, easy to digest, and less likely to cause food allergies compared to other foods. It is a good source of iron and a suitable first food for most infants. Introducing rice cereal as the first solid food also helps the baby get accustomed to a different texture and aids in their transition from a milk-only diet to solid foods. It is important to follow the guidance of healthcare professionals regarding the introduction of solid foods to infants to ensure they receive appropriate nutrition and avoid any potential digestive issues.
