Pediatric CCRN Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the ff. nursing interventions will help prevent complications in the patient with Bell's Palsy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Bell's Palsy is a condition that affects the facial nerve, leading to weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles. One common complication of Bell's Palsy is the inability to fully close the affected eye, which can result in corneal exposure and dryness. Lubricating eye drops help prevent dryness and protect the cornea from damage due to inadequate eye closure. Using lubricating eye drops regularly can help maintain the eye's moisture and prevent potential complications such as corneal abrasions and infections, which are common in patients with Bell's Palsy. Megavitamin therapy, application of ice, and elastic bandages are not typically indicated for preventing complications in patients with Bell's Palsy.
Question 2 of 5
The examiner shines a light in the patient's eyes and notes that the pupils are round and constrict from 4 to 2 mm bilaterally. Next, the examiner asks the patient to focus on a far object, then on the examiner's finger as it is brought from 3 feet distance to 5 inches distance. The pupils constrict bilaterally and the eyes turn inward. Which of the ff. would be the correct documentation of these findings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff. nursing interventions would have the highest priority in the plan of care for the postoperative eye patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the postoperative period for an eye patient, sudden onset of acute pain can be indicative of a complication or an issue that needs immediate attention. Promptly reporting and addressing the pain is essential to prevent any further complications, such as infection, corneal abrasion, or increased intraocular pressure. This intervention takes priority over the other options listed as it involves the patient's immediate safety and well-being. It is crucial to follow postoperative protocols and report any unexpected or severe symptoms to ensure appropriate treatment and prevent any potential harm to the patient's eyesight.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is developing a teaching plan for a client with diabetes mellitus. A client with diabetes mellitus should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clients with diabetes mellitus are at a higher risk for developing foot problems due to nerve damage and poor circulation. Washing and inspecting the feet daily is crucial in preventing and identifying any foot issues early. This practice helps in maintaining good foot hygiene, detecting any cuts, sores, or infections promptly, and preventing complications like diabetic foot ulcers. Walking barefoot is not recommended as it increases the risk of injury and infection, and cutting toenails by rounding edges can lead to ingrown toenails. Commercial preparations for foot care may contain ingredients that can be harmful to people with diabetes, so it is important to consult healthcare providers before using them.
Question 5 of 5
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is ordered for an adult client. Which nutrient is not likely to be in the solution?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a method of providing nutrition intravenously to individuals who are unable to obtain adequate nutrition through oral or enteral routes. The components of a TPN solution typically include dextrose (a source of carbohydrates for energy), amino acids (building blocks of proteins), electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium to maintain proper balance), vitamins, and trace elements (such as zinc and selenium). Trace minerals are essential for various metabolic functions in the body, and their inclusion in TPN solutions is crucial to prevent deficiencies. Therefore, trace minerals are likely to be present in TPN solutions, making them an essential component, unlike the other options provided in the question.
