Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions

Question 1 of 5

The school nurse is explaining to older school children that obesity increases the risk for which disorders? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Obesity increases the risk for conditions like asthma, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and altered glucose metabolism, but not typically irritable bowel disease.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is caring for an adolescent who is overweight. Which of the following psychological effects of being overweight during adolescence will the nurse consider when planning care for the adolescent?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Adolescents who are overweight often struggle with poor body image, which can lead to low self-esteem and mental health issues. Addressing body image concerns and promoting healthy lifestyle changes are important aspects of care. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Sexual promiscuity is not a direct psychological effect of being overweight; feelings of contempt for thin peers are not a common or recommended psychological response; lack of independence is a broad term that does not specifically relate to the psychological effects of being overweight.

Question 3 of 5

A 3-year-old child was adopted immediately after birth. The parents have just asked the nurse how they should tell the child that she is adopted. Which guideline concerning adoption should the nurse use in planning a response?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: It is important to tell children about their adoption early, in an age-appropriate manner, as part of building trust and openness in the family relationship.

Question 4 of 5

Which distraction technique should be used for an adolescent child during a painful procedure?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Guided imagery. Guided imagery is an effective distraction technique for adolescents as it helps them focus on positive mental images instead of the pain. This technique can be a powerful tool in managing pain and anxiety during procedures. Blowing bubbles (choice A) may be more suitable for younger children as it can engage them visually and help distract them. EMLA cream (choice C) is a topical anesthetic and not a distraction technique. Sucrose solution (choice D) is used for pain relief in infants, not typically for adolescents undergoing painful procedures.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is planning a teaching session to adolescents about deaths by unintentional injuries. Which should the nurse include in the session with regard to deaths caused by injuries?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: More deaths due to unintentional injuries occur in males, which may be due to higher risk-taking behaviors.
