ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions

Question 1 of 5

The parents of a 5-year-old child ask the nurse how they can minimize misbehavior. Which responses should the nurse give? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Setting clear goals, praising good behavior, and modeling appropriate behavior are effective strategies for minimizing misbehavior in children.

Question 2 of 5

At a well-visit, a mother voices concern that her 30-month-old has a smaller vocabulary than other children in his daycare. The nurse should:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When a parent expresses concern about a child's development, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive assessment of all areas of development before jumping to conclusions. Choosing option B allows the nurse to evaluate the child for other age-appropriate developmental milestones to determine if there are any delays or concerns. Admitting the child to the hospital (option A) is not necessary at this point and may cause unnecessary stress. Suggesting hearing impairment (option C) without proper evaluation can lead to misdiagnosis. Explaining a significant developmental delay (option D) should only be done after a thorough assessment and diagnosis.

Question 3 of 5

An 8-year-old girl asks the nurse how the blood pressure apparatus works. The most appropriate nursing action is which?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Providing a simple explanation satisfies the child's curiosity and helps reduce any anxiety about the procedure.

Question 4 of 5

A mother tells the nurse that she does not want her infant immunized because of the discomfort associated with injections. What should the nurse explain?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The nurse should explain that a topical anesthetic can be applied to the injection site before the immunization to reduce discomfort.

Question 5 of 5

Where in the health history does a record of immunizations belong?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Immunizations are part of the patient's health history and are recorded under the history section to ensure the child is up-to-date with vaccinations.
