Pediatric NCLEX Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Victorio is being managed for diarrhea. Which outcome indictes that fluid resuscitation is successful?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The outcome that indicates successful fluid resuscitation in managing diarrhea is when the patient reports a decrease in stool frequency and liquidity. This is because diarrhea is characterized by an increase in stool frequency and liquidity due to the body's attempt to expel irritants or infections. By successfully resuscitating with fluids, the goal is to rehydrate the body and restore electrolyte balance, which should lead to a decrease in stool frequency and formation of more solid stools. This improvement in stool consistency and frequency is a clear indicator that the fluid resuscitation has been effective in treating the diarrhea. Therefore, option B is the correct choice for the outcome indicating successful fluid resuscitation in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
Maintaining the infusion rate of hyperalimentation solutions is a nursing responsibility. What side effects would you anticipate from too rapid infusion rate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Too rapid infusion of hyperalimentation solutions can lead to circulatory overload due to the rapid volume expansion, which can strain the heart and lead to fluid overload. This can manifest as symptoms such as shortness of breath, crackles in the lungs, and edema. Additionally, a rapid infusion rate can cause a sudden surge in glucose levels, potentially leading to hypoglycemia due to increased insulin release in response to the elevated glucose levels. It is important for the nurse to maintain a careful and appropriate infusion rate to prevent these complications and ensure patient safety.

Question 5 of 5
During starvation, the body slows metabolic processes and growth to minimize the need for nutrients. With the rapid reinstitution of feeding after starvation refeeding syndrome may occur. Of the following, the major changes that may occur with refeeding syndrome typically affect
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Refeeding syndrome primarily affects electrolytes, particularly phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium, which can become dangerously depleted due to rapid shifts in metabolism.
