Question 1 of 5

When working with a new adolescent patient, which greeting by the nurse indicates awareness of the needs of the adolescent client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The greeting 'Please let me know what your concerns are, and if you have any questions.' indicates awareness of the needs of the adolescent client. It encourages open communication, allows the adolescent to voice their concerns, and shows that their questions are welcomed and valued, fostering a trusting nurse-patient relationship. Choices A, C, and D do not prioritize the adolescent's perspective or promote open communication. Asking to talk to the parents first (Choice A) may hinder the adolescent's autonomy and trust. Inquiring about sexual activity (Choice C) may be necessary but should be approached with sensitivity and privacy. Doing the physical exam first (Choice D) before discussing the patient's history may not align with the adolescent's need for communication and understanding.

Question 2 of 5

A 6-year-old male is hospitalized in stable condition with multiple fractures following a car accident. The child's parents tell the nurse that their 7-year-old daughter is very upset about the accident and is concerned that her brother will die. Which suggestion by the nurse is most appropriate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: In situations where a sibling is upset about a family member being hospitalized, suggesting that the sister come to the hospital for a visit can help alleviate her concerns. This allows the sister to see her brother, ask questions, and receive reassurance from seeing him in stable condition. Direct contact and interaction can often provide more comfort and understanding than phone calls or staying at home. Encouraging phone calls (Choice A) might not provide the same level of comfort as a physical visit. While spending extra time with the daughter at home (Choice C) is important, in this scenario, facilitating a visit to the hospital can address the daughter's immediate concerns better. Reminding the parents that it is normal for children to be upset (Choice D) is not as proactive as arranging for the sister to visit her brother.

Question 3 of 5

A healthcare provider is educating a new mother on discharge. They told the mother to look for the following danger signs.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: It is crucial for new mothers to be aware of potential danger signs after discharge. Poor feeding, high temperature, and convulsions are all critical symptoms that should prompt immediate medical attention. Poor feeding may indicate issues with feeding or underlying health problems. High temperature could be a sign of infection or illness. Convulsions are a serious symptom that could indicate neurological problems or other medical emergencies. By being vigilant and recognizing these signs early, the mother can help ensure the well-being of her newborn. Therefore, the correct answer is 'All of the Above' as all these signs require prompt medical attention to ensure the baby's health and safety.

Question 4 of 5

The Andrews family has been taking good care of their youngest, Archie, who was diagnosed with asthma. Which of the following statements indicate a need for further home care teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Avoiding exercise entirely is not recommended for asthma management. Regular exercise can actually help strengthen the lungs and improve overall respiratory function. Teaching should focus on appropriate exercise routines that are suitable for individuals with asthma to prevent attacks. Choices A, C, and D are all appropriate and indicate good understanding of asthma management. Increasing fluid intake helps thin secretions, using the bronchodilator inhaler before the steroid inhaler follows the correct order of inhaler administration, and identifying triggers is essential for asthma control.

Question 5 of 5

A group of nursing students is discussing trends that influence pediatric health care today. The students' discussion focuses on which trends?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In pediatric health care, family-centered care and evidenced-based practice are crucial trends that impact care delivery. Family-centered care involves involving the family in decision-making and care planning, recognizing their role in the child's well-being. Evidenced-based practice ensures nursing interventions are based on the best available evidence to provide high-quality care to pediatric patients. Nursing traditions, though important, may not encompass the latest advancements in pediatric care. Therefore, choices A and B are correct as they represent current influential trends in pediatric health care.
