Pediatric CCRN Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The age by which the child can pull to stand, starting to pincer grasp, and plays pat-a-cake is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: These milestones are typically achieved around 9 months of age.
Question 2 of 5
A client is receiving chemotherapy for cancer. The nurse reviews the client's laboratory report and notes that he has thrombocytopenia. To which nursing diagnosis should the nurse give the highest priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a low platelet count, which can lead to impaired clot formation and increased risk of bleeding. With a low platelet count, there is an increased risk of internal bleeding and hemorrhage, which can affect vital organs such as the brain, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the priority nursing diagnosis for a client with thrombocytopenia receiving chemotherapy would be Ineffective tissue perfusion: Cerebral, cardiopulmonary, GI. Monitoring for signs of internal bleeding, such as changes in mental status, chest pain, and abdominal pain, is crucial to prevent potential life-threatening complications.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse knows which of the following is true about immunity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by a type of white blood cell called B-lymphocytes (B-cells). These antibodies play a crucial role in the immune response by recognizing and binding to specific antigens such as pathogens. This binding can lead to the inactivation of the pathogens or marking them for destruction by other immune cells. B-cells are a key component of the humoral immune response, which involves the production of antibodies to defend against infections. The statement that antibodies are produced by the B-cells is, therefore, true.
Question 4 of 5
The statement about sleep which is NOT true is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Slow-wave sleep is primarily restorative, not protective against brain injury.
Question 5 of 5
A client is being returned to the room after a subtotal thyroidectomy. Which piece of equipment is most important for the nurse to keep at the client's bedside?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Following a subtotal thyroidectomy, there is a risk of airway compromise and difficulty breathing due to the close proximity of the surgical site to the trachea. In case of swelling or other complications leading to airway obstruction, having a tracheostomy set readily available at the client's bedside is crucial for quick and efficient management of any respiratory distress. This equipment allows the healthcare team to establish a secure airway if needed, ensuring the client's safety and minimizing the risk of respiratory compromise post-operatively. The other equipment choices are important but having a tracheostomy set is the most critical for this particular situation to address potential airway issues promptly.
