Question 1 of 5
Spina bifida is one of the possible neural tube defects that can occur during early embryological development. Which of the following definitions most accurately describes meningocele? A.Complete exposure of spinal cord and meninges
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Meningocele is a type of neural tube defect in which there is herniation of the meninges (protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord) through a defect in the spinal column. This results in the formation of a sac-like protrusion that contains the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid but does not involve the spinal cord itself. In meningocele, the spinal cord remains in its normal position within the spinal canal. This condition is typically associated with spina bifida, a neural tube defect that occurs during early embryological development. Unlike myelomeningocele, which involves both the spinal cord and meninges protruding through the spinal column, meningocele specifically refers to the presence of a sac containing the meninges and spinal fluid without direct involvement of the spinal cord.
Question 2 of 5
Which refers to a newborn whose rate of intrauterine growth was slowed and whose birth weight falls below the 10th percentile on intrauterine growth charts?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A newborn who is small for gestational age (SGA) refers to a baby whose rate of intrauterine growth was slowed, leading to a birth weight falling below the 10th percentile on intrauterine growth charts. SGA infants are at an increased risk for various health complications due to their smaller size at birth, such as difficulties in regulating body temperature, low blood sugar, and respiratory distress. Postterm refers to a pregnancy that has extended beyond 42 weeks, while postmature refers specifically to a fetus that has been in the womb beyond the expected due date. Low birth weight may refer to a baby born below a certain weight threshold regardless of gestational age.
Question 3 of 5
The age by which the child can make a tower of 9 cubes and imitates circular stroke is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This milestone is typically achieved around 36 months.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following terms would indicate to the nurse that a substance is toxic to the ear?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The term "ototoxic" indicates that a substance has the potential to cause damage to the ear or auditory system. Ototoxic substances can lead to hearing loss or damage to the inner ear structures. Therefore, if a nurse encounters the term ototoxic in a clinical setting, it would indicate that the substance being discussed is toxic to the ear. The other options, otoplasty, otalgia, and tinnitus, do not specifically indicate toxicity to the ear.
Question 5 of 5
Gender identity disorder (GID) is characterized by intense and persistent cross-gender identification and discomfort with one’s own sex. In early school-age children, the manifestation that is LEAST likely considered as GID is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Playing with toys designed for the opposite sex does not necessarily indicate GID, as it is a common exploratory behavior in childhood.
