Certified Pediatric Nurse Exam Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following problems associated with anemia best explains why Aisa becomes dizzy during periods of physical activity?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anemia is a condition characterized by a decreased number of red blood cells or hemoglobin, which can result in inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, including the brain. When Aisa engages in physical activity, her body's oxygen demand increases. However, due to her anemia, there is a reduced capacity to transport oxygen to meet the increased demand. This mismatch between oxygen supply and demand leads to insufficient oxygen reaching her brain, resulting in dizziness. This symptom is consistent with the explanation of insufficient cerebral oxygenation in the context of anemia.
Question 2 of 5
Which nursing intervention is appropriate for the nurse to take when setting up supplies for a client who requires a blood transfusion?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When setting up supplies for a client who requires a blood transfusion, the appropriate nursing intervention is to prime the tubing of the blood administration set with 0.9% NS solution completely, filling the filter. This is essential to ensure that the blood components flow smoothly through the tubing and any potential air bubbles are removed in order to prevent air embolism and ensure the safety of the blood transfusion process. Option A is not correct because adding IV medication in the blood bag is not a standard practice and can compromise the integrity of the blood product. Option B is also incorrect as blood products should be stored and maintained at specific temperatures to prevent spoilage or contamination; leaving it at room temperature is not advised. Option D is unrelated to setting up supplies for a blood transfusion and addresses inadequate dietary intake, which is a different nursing concern than the preparation of blood transfusion supplies.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the ff instructions should a nurse give a client with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who is being treated with radiation and chemotherapy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who are undergoing radiation and chemotherapy need to increase their fluid intake to help flush out the toxic byproducts of the treatments from their body. Adequate hydration can also help prevent dehydration, maintain proper kidney function, and alleviate some side effects such as nausea and vomiting. It is important for the nurse to advise the client to drink plenty of water, clear fluids, and electrolyte-rich beverages to support their overall well-being during treatment.
Question 4 of 5
A client undergoes a biopsy of a suspicious lesion. The biopsy report classifies the lesion according to the TNM staging system as follows: TIS, NO, MO. What does this classification mean?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
A client is receiving chemotherapy to treat breath cancer. Which assessment finding indicates a fluid and electrolyte imbalance induced by chemotherapy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chemotherapy can cause fluid and electrolyte imbalances in the body, leading to potential kidney damage and altered urinary output. A low urine output of 400 ml in 8 hours could indicate dehydration or impaired renal function, both of which can be induced by chemotherapy. Monitoring urine output is crucial in assessing the patient's fluid balance and kidney function during chemotherapy. It is essential to identify and address such imbalances promptly to prevent complications.
