Question 1 of 5
The parents of a 9-month-old infant tell the nurse that they have noticed foods such as peas and corn are not completely digested and can be seen in their infant's stools. The nurse's explanation of this is based on which statement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. This is normal because of the immaturity of digestive processes at this age. At 9 months old, infants are still in the process of developing their digestive system. It is common for them to have difficulty digesting certain foods, especially those high in fiber like peas and corn. This is due to the immaturity of their digestive enzymes and processes. As the infant grows, their digestive system will continue to mature, and they will be able to digest these types of foods more effectively. Therefore, there is no need for further investigation or restriction of solid foods.

Question 3 of 5
A child has a postoperative appendectomy incision covered by a dressing. The nurse has just completed a prescribed dressing change for this child. Which description is an accurate documentation of this procedure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C provides a thorough and accurate documentation of the dressing change procedure for the postoperative appendectomy incision. This documentation includes essential details such as the condition of the incision site (non-reddened, sutures intact, no drainage noted on old dressing), the action taken (new dressing applied), and the outcome (procedure tolerated well by the child). It covers all the necessary aspects of the dressing change procedure and clearly indicates the status of the incision site before and after the intervention. Options A, B, and D do not provide as comprehensive and detailed information about the dressing change procedure and its outcomes, making option C the most appropriate choice for accurate documentation.
Question 4 of 5
Latasha, age 8 years, is being admitted to the hospital from the emergency department with an injury from falling off her bicycle. Which will help her most in her adjustment to the hospital?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Explaining hospital schedules to Latasha, such as mealtimes, will help her most in adjusting to the hospital environment. Providing her with a sense of routine and structure can help reduce her anxiety and uncertainty during her stay. By knowing when things like meals will happen, Latasha can feel more in control of her surroundings and what to expect, which can be comforting for a child in a new and potentially scary situation like being in the hospital.
Question 5 of 5
A child has been diagnosed with enuresis. TCA imipramine (Tofranil) has been prescribed for the child. The nurse understands that this medication is in which category?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Imipramine (Tofranil) is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) that is commonly used to treat enuresis in children. Enuresis is a condition characterized by involuntary urination, especially observed during sleep in children who are old enough to have bladder control. Imipramine works by affecting the balance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, which helps regulate the bladder and reduce involuntary urination. While imipramine has antidepressant properties, it is also effective in treating enuresis by reducing the frequency of bedwetting episodes.
