ATI Nursing Care of Children 2019 B Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching parents about high-fiber foods that can prevent constipation. What foods should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: All are correct. High-fiber foods like oranges, lima beans, baked beans, and raisin bran cereal are effective in preventing constipation. Oranges are a good source of fiber, lima beans and baked beans are high in fiber content, and raisin bran cereal is also rich in fiber. Bananas, which are not listed but could be considered by some as a high-fiber food, are actually low in fiber and may not be as effective in preventing constipation. Therefore, the nurse should include all the options provided in the teaching to help prevent constipation effectively.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is preparing to admit a 6-year-old child with celiac disease. What clinical manifestations should the nurse expect to observe?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Celiac disease often presents with steatorrhea, malnutrition, and foul-smelling stools due to the malabsorption of nutrients. Therefore, all the manifestations listed (steatorrhea, malnutrition, foul-smelling stools) are expected in a child with celiac disease. Polycythemia is not associated with celiac disease, making choice B the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to admit a 10-year-old child with appendicitis. What clinical manifestations should the nurse expect to observe?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Correct! Typical signs of appendicitis include fever, vomiting, and tachycardia due to infection and inflammation. These clinical manifestations are commonly observed in patients with appendicitis. Hyperactive bowel sounds are not typically associated with appendicitis, so they are not expected findings in this situation. Therefore, the correct answer is 'All of the above.'
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to admit a 6-month-old child with gastroesophageal reflux disease. What clinical manifestations should the nurse expect to observe?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in infants typically presents with symptoms such as spitting up, failure to thrive, excessive crying, and respiratory problems due to aspiration. Bilious vomiting is not a common symptom of GERD in infants and may indicate a different or more severe condition, such as intestinal obstruction or other gastrointestinal issues. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are all expected clinical manifestations of GERD in a 6-month-old child, making option D the correct answer.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing to admit a 5-year-old child with hepatitis A. What clinical features of hepatitis A should the nurse recognize?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Hepatitis A typically presents with a rapid onset, early fever, and nausea/vomiting. These are common clinical features seen in patients with hepatitis A. A pruritic rash is not commonly associated with hepatitis A, so choice C is incorrect. Choice A and B alone are not sufficient to cover all the clinical features of hepatitis A.
