Certified Pediatric Nurse Exam Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a school-age child with a tinea capitis (ringworm) infection. What should the nurse expect the therapeutic management of this child to include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse should expect the therapeutic management of a school-age child with tinea capitis to include administering oral griseofulvin. Griseofulvin is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat fungal infections like tinea capitis. Topical or oral antibiotics are not effective in treating fungal infections. Applying topical sulfonamides is also not a recommended treatment for tinea capitis. Burow solution compresses are used to provide relief for inflammatory skin conditions and are not specific treatments for fungal infections like tinea capitis.
Question 2 of 5
while planning therapeutic care for type ï‰ diabetes mellitus you would expect treatment plan to include:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin. Therefore, the mainstay of treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin therapy. Insulin injections are necessary to replace the insulin that the body is unable to produce on its own. While physical exercise and dietary management are important components of managing diabetes, in the case of type 1 diabetes, insulin is an essential part of the treatment plan to control blood glucose levels effectively and prevent complications. Oral hypoglycemic agents, on the other hand, are typically used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, where the body's insulin production may be insufficient or ineffective.

Question 4 of 5
While managing a client after a medical or surgical procedure for bladder stones, for what rise in the temperature should the nurse notify the physician?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A rise in temperature is concerning after a medical or surgical procedure as it can indicate infection or other complications. A temperature above 102F is typically considered a significant fever, especially in the postoperative period. It is essential to notify the physician promptly to assess the patient's condition and provide appropriate interventions to address the underlying cause of the fever.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following immunoglobulins is first produced during an acute infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: IgM is the first immunoglobulin produced during an acute infection. It is the first class of antibodies secreted by B cells in response to an antigenic challenge. IgM antibodies are produced initially in primary immune responses and play a crucial role in activating the complement system. IgG is produced after IgM and is the most abundant immunoglobulin in the secondary immune response. IgE is responsible for allergic reactions, and IgD's function is not fully understood but is believed to be involved in the activation of B cells.
