Question 2 of 5
Which information could be given to the parents of a 12-month-old child regarding appropriate play activities?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: At 12 months of age, children are generally starting to become more mobile and interested in exploring their surroundings. Large push-pull toys are a great option for encouraging physical activity and helping with gross motor skills development. These toys can help the child practice walking, crawling, and hand-eye coordination. Push-pull toys also provide kinetic stimulation which is important for the child's overall physical development at this age. Other play activities mentioned in the options, such as finger paints or cradle gym, may be suitable for older children as they require more fine motor skills and coordination. Stick horse, on the other hand, is more appropriate for older children who have better developed gross motor coordination.
Question 3 of 5
Why must a nurse measure the intake and output and recommend a daily fluid intake of approximately 3000 to 4000 mL for a client with pyelonephritis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A nurse measures the intake and output and recommends a daily fluid intake of approximately 3000 to 4000 mL for a client with pyelonephritis primarily to help flush out the infectious microorganisms from the urinary tract. Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection of the kidneys and urinary tract, and increasing fluid intake can help dilute the urine and increase urine output, which may help wash out and eliminate the infectious microorganisms causing the infection. Adequate hydration also helps the kidneys function optimally in eliminating waste and toxins from the body. Therefore, maintaining a high fluid intake is crucial in the management of pyelonephritis to support the body's natural defense mechanisms and aid in recovery.
