Pediatric CCRN Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which information could be given to the parents of a 12-month-old child regarding appropriate play activities?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: At 12 months of age, children are generally starting to become more mobile and interested in exploring their surroundings. Large push-pull toys are a great option for encouraging physical activity and helping with gross motor skills development. These toys can help the child practice walking, crawling, and hand-eye coordination. Push-pull toys also provide kinetic stimulation which is important for the child's overall physical development at this age. Other play activities mentioned in the options, such as finger paints or cradle gym, may be suitable for older children as they require more fine motor skills and coordination. Stick horse, on the other hand, is more appropriate for older children who have better developed gross motor coordination.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse knows which of the following is true about immunity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by a type of white blood cell called B-lymphocytes (B-cells). These antibodies play a crucial role in the immune response by recognizing and binding to specific antigens such as pathogens. This binding can lead to the inactivation of the pathogens or marking them for destruction by other immune cells. B-cells are a key component of the humoral immune response, which involves the production of antibodies to defend against infections. The statement that antibodies are produced by the B-cells is, therefore, true.
Question 3 of 5
At a public health fair, the nurse teaches a group of women about breast cancer awareness. Possible signs of breast cancer include:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Possible signs of breast cancer include nipple discharge (especially if it is bloody) and a breast nodule or lump that can be felt. It is important to note any changes in the breasts and report them to a healthcare provider for evaluation. Fever, breast changes during menstruation, and erythema of the breast are not typically associated with breast cancer. It is essential for women to perform regular breast self-exams and seek medical attention if they notice any unusual changes in their breast tissue.
