Pediatric NCLEX Practice Quiz Questions
Question 1 of 5
Shock associated with decreased central venous pressure includes the following Except:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cardiogenic shock typically presents with increased central venous pressure due to impaired cardiac output.
Question 2 of 5
Which intervention is most effective in preventing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Early extubation and the use of non-invasive ventilation (e.g., CPAP) reduce lung injury and inflammation, lowering the risk of BPD. Prolonged mechanical ventilation increases lung damage due to barotrauma and volutrauma.
