Question 1 of 5

Which heart sound is produced by vibrations within the heart chambers or in the major arteries from the back-and-forth flow of blood?

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is performing an oral examination on a preschool child. Which strategies should the nurse use to encourage the child to open the mouth for the examination? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Using a cotton swab, allowing the child to observe, and demonstrating on someone else are effective ways to encourage a preschooler to open their mouth for examination.

Question 3 of 5

Where is the best place to observe for the presence of petechiae in dark-skinned individuals?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The oral mucosa and conjunctivae are the best places to observe petechiae in dark-skinned individuals because these areas have less pigmentation.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is teaching parents about the effects of media on childhood obesity. The nurse realizes the parents understand the teaching if they make which statements? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Increased screen time is associated with unhealthy habits, such as poor sleep and snacking, which contribute to obesity, but it does not necessarily improve nutrition knowledge.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is assessing a 3-year-old child. Which assessment finding would the nurse identify as abnormal?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Falling when bending over to touch toes could indicate a developmental delay or a balance issue that may need further assessment. Choices A, B, and D are typical developmental milestones for a 3-year-old child. Pedaling a tricycle without assistance, unscrewing a bolt on a toy, and building a tower of 10 cubes are all age-appropriate activities for a child of this age.
