Pediatric Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5

Rationale: Granulomas are characteristic of Crohn's disease but not ulcerative colitis, making them a key diagnostic feature.
Question 2 of 5
One of the following can cause unilateral dilated fixed pupil:

Rationale: Tentorial herniation leads to compression of cranial nerve III, causing a fixed, dilated pupil on the affected side due to unopposed sympathetic activity.
Question 3 of 5
Risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome include all of the following EXCEPT
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A small triangular chin is not a typical risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea, whereas retroposition of the mandible, long face, and soft palate abnormalities contribute to airway obstruction.
Question 4 of 5
which of the following best describes acute glomerulonephritis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acute glomerulonephritis is an inflammatory kidney disease that typically follows a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or skin infection caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. The infection triggers the body's immune response, leading to the deposition of immune complexes in the glomeruli of the kidneys. This results in inflammation, damage to the glomeruli, and impaired kidney function. Symptoms of acute glomerulonephritis may include hematuria (blood in the urine), proteinuria (protein in the urine), edema, hypertension, and decreased urine output. It is important to diagnose and manage acute glomerulonephritis promptly to prevent complications and promote recovery. Other answer choices do not accurately describe the typical etiology or presentation of acute glomerulonephritis.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing to assist the physician with a bone marrow biopsy. Which of the ff. interventions is most important for the nurse to do before the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Before a bone marrow biopsy procedure, it is most important for the nurse to observe the patient for any signs of bleeding. This includes assessing the patient's coagulation status, looking for any bleeding disorders, and checking the patient's platelet levels. By monitoring for bleeding tendencies before the procedure, the nurse can ensure that the patient is in a stable condition to undergo the bone marrow biopsy safely. Additionally, post-procedure monitoring for bleeding is crucial to prevent complications such as hematoma formation. Explaining the procedure to the family, administering an analgesic, and draping the biopsy site are important steps, but ensuring the patient's safety by assessing for bleeding is the highest priority.
