Question 1 of 5
When teaching umbilical cord care to a new mother, the nurse would include which information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Keeping the cord dry and open to air is the recommended practice for umbilical cord care. This helps the cord to dry out and fall off naturally. Applying substances like peroxide or petroleum jelly can create a moist environment, which can increase the risk of infection. Washing the cord with soap and water daily can also prolong the time it takes for the cord to fall off. Thus, the best approach is to simply keep the cord clean and dry, allowing it to heal and detach on its own.
Question 2 of 5
7-year-old Damon has cystitis; which of the following would Nurse Elena expect when assessing the child?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder, commonly caused by a bacterial infection. In children, symptoms of cystitis often include dysuria, which is painful or difficult urination. This symptom is frequently observed in children with cystitis. Costovertebral tenderness and flank pain are more indicative of kidney involvement (such as in pyelonephritis) rather than just bladder inflammation like in cystitis. High fever may also be present in severe cases of cystitis, but dysuria is the more specific and common symptom associated with this condition in children.
Question 3 of 5
Angie is an adolescent who has seizure disorder; which of the following would not be a focus of a teaching program?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, ability to obtain a driver's license. This would not be a focus of a teaching program for Angie with a seizure disorder since individuals with uncontrolled seizures are typically not allowed to have a driver's license due to safety concerns. It is important for Angie to understand the risks and consequences of drug and alcohol abuse, the increased risk of infections, and how to handle peer pressure effectively in relation to her condition. These topics are more relevant to managing her health and well-being with a seizure disorder.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Steve is diagnosed with celiac disease and experiences celiac crisis secondary to upper respiratory tract infection; which of the following would Nurse Nancy expect to assess?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In a celiac crisis, which is a severe form of reaction to gluten ingestion in individuals with celiac disease, symptoms can include severe diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and lethargy. The upper respiratory tract infection adds an additional stressor to the body, further worsening the symptoms. Lethargy is often seen in such cases due to the body's reaction to the illness and malabsorption of nutrients caused by celiac disease. While weight loss is common in celiac disease due to malabsorption, weight gain is unlikely in a celiac crisis. Respiratory distress is not a typical symptom directly related to celiac disease or its crisis. Watery diarrhea can be a common symptom of celiac disease, but specific to the question, lethargy would be the most expected assessment finding in Steve's case.
