Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment on a 10-week-old infant. The nurse understands that the developmental characteristic of hearing at this age is which?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: By 10 weeks, infants typically turn their heads to the side to locate the source of a sound made at ear level.
Question 2 of 5
At what age is it safe to give infants whole milk instead of commercial infant formula?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Whole milk should not be introduced before 12 months because it lacks the necessary nutrients, such as iron, that infants need for proper growth and development.
Question 3 of 5
An intravenous line is needed in a school-age child. What medication is an appropriate analgesic for use with this patient?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: LMX is an effective analgesic agent when applied to the skin 30 minutes before a procedure. It eliminates or reduces the pain from most procedures involving skin puncture. TAC provides skin anesthesia about 15 minutes after application to nonintact skin, making it more suitable for wound suturing. Transdermal fentanyl patches are designed for continuous pain control, not rapid pain control needed for a procedure like venipuncture. EMLA, for maximum effectiveness, must be applied approximately 60 minutes before the procedure, making it less suitable for immediate pain relief required for intravenous line placement.

Rationale: By 10 weeks, infants typically turn their heads to the side to locate the source of a sound made at ear level.
Question 5 of 5
