Patient Comfort Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with tuberculosis in an airborne isolation room. Which action by the nurse indicates a break in infection control precautions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Wearing gown and gloves only breaks TB precautions. Airborne isolation requires an N95/HEPA mask to filter droplets, per CDC guidelines; gown/gloves alone insufficient. HEPA mask , handwashing , and closed door are correct. A risks transmission, making it the error.
Question 2 of 5
When providing nursing measures to relieve a 102-degree Fahrenheit fever in a toddler with an infection, what is the most effective intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Using medications to lower the temperature set point is most effective. Antipyretics like acetaminophen reset the hypothalamic set point in a 102°F fever, addressing the cause, per pediatric standards. Clothing raises temperature, immersion risks shock, and sponging is adjunctive. A ensures safe, rapid fever reduction.
Question 3 of 5
While working with an obese adolescent, it is important for the nurse to recognize that obesity in adolescence is most often associated with what other finding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Poor body image is most often associated with adolescent obesity, per pediatric psychology. It stems from societal stigma and self-esteem issues. Promiscuity , dropout , and drugs may occur but aren't primary. B guides holistic care planning.
Question 4 of 5
While caring for a toddler with croup, which initial sign of croup requires the nurse's immediate attention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Respiratory rate of 42 requires immediate attention in croup. Tachypnea signals airway obstruction, per pediatric emergency standards. Lethargy is concerning but secondary, bradycardia isn't typical, and secretions are expected. A prioritizes airway management.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse admits a 3 week-old infant to the special care nursery with a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. As the nurse reviews the birth history, which data would be most consistent with this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Mechanical ventilation for 2 weeks is most consistent with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Prolonged ventilation damages premature lungs, per neonatology. Growth retardation , meconium , and phototherapy are unrelated. D matches the etiology.
