Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is taking vital signs on a group of assigned preschool-aged children. Which assessment finding would indicate the need for further action?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A heart rate of 120 beats per minute is high for a preschool-aged child and may indicate an underlying issue that requires further assessment. A respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute (choice A) is within the normal range for preschool children. Similarly, a heart rate of 89 beats per minute (choice B) falls within the expected range. A respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute (choice D) is slightly elevated but may not be as concerning as a heart rate of 120 beats per minute.
