Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a child with Neuroblastoma. Where is the tumor most commonly located?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Neuroblastoma is a cancer that commonly originates in the adrenal glands located in the abdomen. It can also occur in nerve tissues along the spine, but it is most frequently found in the abdominal region. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as Neuroblastoma typically arises from neural crest cells in the adrenal glands or sympathetic ganglia, not in the bones, kidneys, or cortex.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching a parent with a 2-month-old infant who has been diagnosed with colic about ways to relieve colic. Which statement by the parent indicates the need for additional teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Letting an infant cry for prolonged periods can exacerbate colic and increase the infant's distress. It is better to respond promptly to soothe the baby. Other methods like swaddling, gentle massage, and keeping the infant upright can help relieve colic symptoms.
Question 3 of 5
An important role of the nurse in ambulatory settings and schools is the identification of communicable diseases for treatment and the prevention of spread. What is an important component related to the first period of the contagiousness of disease?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The prodromal period is the interval between the early manifestations of the disease and the time when the overt clinical syndrome is evident. Most communicable diseases are contagious during this time. Identifying the prodromal stage is crucial for early intervention and preventing the spread of the disease. While the source and causative agent are important aspects of disease control, recognizing the early signs in the prodromal stage allows the nurse to take timely actions. Constitutional symptoms occur during the active disease phase, indicating that the child has already been contagious, and early intervention opportunities may have passed.
Question 4 of 5
What information should be given to the parents of a 12-month-old child regarding appropriate play activities for this age?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Large push-pull toys are suitable for a 12-month-old as they encourage gross motor skills and physical activity, which are crucial for their development at this age.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is planning an educational session for a group of 9-year-olds and their parents aimed at decreasing injuries and accidents among this age group. Which topics should be included in the educational session to accomplish the goal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: For school-aged children, pedestrian, motor vehicle, and bike safety are critical areas to focus on as accidents involving these are common in this age group. Education about fire safety and toxic substances is also important, but the priority is on preventing accidents in everyday activities. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are not the most relevant for addressing the goal of decreasing injuries and accidents in this age group.
