Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse is reviewing the importance of role learning for children. The nurse understands that children's roles are primarily shaped by which members?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Parents play the primary role in shaping their children's roles and behaviors, especially in early childhood, through modeling, guidance, and expectations.

Question 2 of 5

A parent brings their 4-year-old child for a check-up. Which finding would concern the nurse?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A resting pulse rate of 120 is elevated for a 4-year-old and may indicate an underlying issue that needs further investigation. An ectomorphic body type is a body shape and not typically a cause for concern. Weight gain within normal limits and no significant change in appetite are generally positive findings in a growing child.

Question 3 of 5

Why does the nurse have a 2-year-old boy sit in a "tailor" position while palpating for the presence of the testes?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The tailor position stretches the muscle responsible for the cremasteric reflex, preventing it from contracting and pulling the testes into the pelvic cavity. This position helps accurately palpate the testes. Choice B is incorrect because the position does not facilitate the palpation of undescended testes specifically. Choice C is incorrect as it does not relate to the rationale behind the tailor position. Choice D is incorrect as the reason for using the tailor position is not related to the child's need for privacy.

Question 4 of 5

Several types of seizures can occur in neonates. What is characteristic of clonic seizures?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Clonic seizures are characterized by slow, rhythmic, jerking movements that cannot be stopped by flexion of the affected limb. Therefore, the correct characteristic of clonic seizures is option D. Option A, apnea, is not characteristic of clonic seizures. Option B, tremors, does not describe clonic seizures accurately. Option C, extension of all four limbs, is not a typical feature of clonic seizures but rather seen in tonic seizures.

Question 5 of 5

A mother brings 6-month-old Eric to the clinic for a well-baby checkup. She comments, "I want to go back to work, but I don't want Eric to suffer because I'll have less time with him." Which is the nurse's most appropriate answer?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The best approach is to discuss childcare options that would suit Eric's needs, allowing the mother to make an informed decision without guilt or pressure.
