Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching nursing students about childhood skin lesions. Which is an elevated, circumscribed skin lesion that is less than 1 cm in diameter and filled with serous fluid?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A vesicle is an elevated, circumscribed skin lesion that is less than 1 cm in diameter and filled with serous fluid. Serous fluid is a clear, watery fluid that can accumulate within the vesicle. Vesicles are commonly seen in conditions such as herpes simplex virus infections (cold sores) and contact dermatitis. It is important for nursing students to understand the characteristics of different skin lesions to accurately assess and provide appropriate care for patients.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an oral iron supplement to a hospitalized infant. Which should not be given simultaneously with the iron supplement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Milk should not be given simultaneously with an oral iron supplement because calcium in milk can interfere with the absorption of iron. Calcium competes with iron for absorption in the digestive tract, thereby reducing the absorption of iron when both are taken together. It is advisable to wait at least 1-2 hours after giving the iron supplement before offering milk to ensure optimal absorption of iron. This is a common practice to improve iron absorption and prevent any potential decrease in the effectiveness of the iron supplement.
Question 3 of 5

Question 4 of 5
A healthy, stable, preterm newborn will soon be discharged. The nurse should recommend which position for sleep?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse should recommend placing the healthy, stable, preterm newborn in the supine position for sleep. This is the current recommendation to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) per the American Academy of Pediatrics. Placing the infant on their back to sleep helps ensure an open airway and reduces the risk of suffocation or SIDS. It is important to adhere to safe sleep practices to promote the infant's well-being and reduce the risk of sleep-related incidents.
Question 5 of 5
Hemolytic disease is suspected in a mother's second newborn. Which factor is important in understanding how this could develop?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hemolytic disease of the newborn, also known as erythroblastosis fetalis, is a condition in which a mother's antibodies attack the red blood cells of the unborn baby. This most commonly occurs due to Rh incompatibility. The mother produces Rh antibodies during her first pregnancy with an Rh positive baby. During subsequent pregnancies with an Rh positive baby, these antibodies can cross the placenta and attack the baby's red blood cells, leading to hemolytic disease. Therefore, if the mother's first child was Rh positive, it increases the risk of hemolytic disease in subsequent pregnancies if the babies are also Rh positive.
