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.

Begin with the first step of the process and proceed ordering the steps ending with the final step of the process. Provide answer as lowercase letters separated by commas (e.g., a, b, c, d, e).
Correct Answer: c
Rationale: Population : The first step is to clearly define the population of interest for the clinical question. Identifying the specific population will help in formulating a focused and relevant question.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff are the most significant symptoms of Hodgkin's disease category B? Choose all that apply
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The most significant symptoms of Hodgkin's disease with category B classification are fever, weight loss, and night sweats.

Anemia and thrombocytopenia are not typically classified as specific symptoms of Hodgkin's disease category B.
Question 4 of 5
Which is an important nursing consideration when caring for a child with herpetic gingivostomatitis (HGS)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An important nursing consideration when caring for a child with herpetic gingivostomatitis (HGS) is to wait to brush teeth until lesions are sufficiently healed. This is because brushing teeth while the lesions are present can be painful and potentially disruptive to the healing process. It is important to ensure that the child is comfortable and that the healing of the lesions is not impeded by brushing too early. This consideration helps promote optimal healing and comfort for the child with this condition.
Question 5 of 5
Which characteristics could the nurse expect when observing Mr. Gil? a.Transient ischemic attacks
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The question is asking about the characteristics the nurse might expect to observe in Mr. Gil. Given the information provided, Mr. Gil's possible condition can be related to a slowly progressive deficit in intellect. This might manifest as cognitive decline, memory issues, and other intellectual challenges over an extended period of time. This description aligns with conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer's disease, which are characterized by a gradual decline in cognitive abilities rather than rapid deterioration (as in option B) or transient episodes (as in option A). Therefore, option C is the most likely characteristic the nurse could expect when observing Mr. Gil.
