Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The first sign of puberty in boys is typically the enlargement of the testes. This is due to the increase in production of testosterone, which leads to physical changes such as growth of the testes. Choice B, decreased levels of testosterone, is incorrect as puberty is marked by an increase in testosterone levels. Choice C, voice deepening, and choice D, pubic hair growth, usually occur later in the puberty process compared to testicular enlargement, making them incorrect answers.
Question 2 of 5
A new dad is concerned about his toddler's play patterns. The nurse informs him that ____________ play is normally exhibited by toddlers:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Parallel.' Parallel play is a common play pattern observed in toddlers where they play alongside each other without direct interaction. This type of play allows toddlers to observe and mimic each other's actions, aiding in their social development. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Associative play involves some interaction between children, team play involves organized group activities, and solitary play is when a child plays alone, all of which are not typically exhibited by toddlers during play.
Question 3 of 5
An effective means of establishing rapport with the hospitalized pre-schooler is through:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Play is an effective way to communicate and build rapport with young children, especially pre-schoolers. It helps them feel comfortable, express themselves, and establish a connection with the caregiver. Lengthy discussions may not be suitable for their age and attention span, while explanation with drawings and models can enhance communication but may not engage them as effectively as play. Silence, on the other hand, may create a sense of unease or lack of interaction for pre-schoolers.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient from a culture unfamiliar to the local area. The best way for a culturally competent nurse to interact with the family is to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best way for a culturally competent nurse to interact with a family from an unfamiliar culture is to be respectful and open-minded when discussing beliefs. This approach demonstrates cultural competence by honoring and valuing the family's beliefs and practices. Choice A is incorrect as it disregards the family's cultural practices without understanding them. Choice B is not the best approach as it focuses on language rather than respecting beliefs. Choice D is inappropriate as it goes against the principles of cultural competence by imposing beliefs on the family.
Question 5 of 5
A child who weighs 10 kg is to receive Motrin 8 mg/kg po q4h prn for pain. The label reads 100 mg/5 mL. How much will you administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the dosage, multiply the child's weight (10 kg) by the dosage (8 mg/kg) which equals 80 mg. Since the concentration is 100 mg/5 mL, to find out how much to administer, you need to determine how many 5 mL doses are in 80 mg. It will be 80 mg · 100 mg * 5 mL = 4 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 mL. Choice B, 2 mL, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct dosage calculation. Choice C, 5 mL, is incorrect as it does not consider the dosage based on the child's weight. Choice D, 3 mL, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate dosage calculation.
