Essential of Pediatric Nursing Test Bank Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is conducting a staff in-service on newborn defects of the genitourinary system. Which describes the narrowing of the preputial opening of the foreskin?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Phimosis is the term used to describe the narrowing of the preputial opening of the foreskin in males. This condition does not allow the foreskin to be fully retracted over the head of the penis, which can cause issues with hygiene and potentially lead to infections. Phimosis can occur in newborns and also persist into adulthood if not treated. It is important for healthcare providers, including nurses, to be aware of this condition in order to provide appropriate education and intervention when needed.
Question 2 of 5
Parents tell the nurse that their 1-year-old son often sleeps with them. They seem unconcerned about this. The nurse's response should be based on which statement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response is D because it acknowledges that co-sleeping with children, especially infants and toddlers, is a common and accepted practice in various cultural groups. Co-sleeping can have benefits such as promoting bonding and facilitating breastfeeding. However, it is essential for the nurse to educate the parents on safe sleep practices to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or other sleep-related accidents. It is important to provide guidance on creating a safe sleep environment for the child if they continue co-sleeping.
Question 3 of 5
Of the following, the MOST likely cause of constipation is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Functional constipation is the most common cause of constipation in children, often due to diet or behavioral factors.
Question 4 of 5
Miss OB's malignant tumor in her left breast was discovered to be spreading all over the surrounding and adjacent tissue and not entering the blood stream, it would be:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A malignant tumor is characterized by its ability to spread to surrounding tissues and potentially enter the bloodstream to form secondary tumors in distant organs (metastasis). In the scenario provided, the tumor in Miss OB's left breast is described as spreading all over the surrounding and adjacent tissue but specifically noted not to be entering the bloodstream. This behavior is more indicative of a benign tumor that is growing locally but is not capable of metastasis. Therefore, the tumor is best classified as benign in this case.
