Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which responsibilities are included in the pediatric nurse's promotion of the health and well-being of children? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Pediatric nurses promote health through disease prevention, support, counseling, therapeutic relationships, and participating in ethical decision-making.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is assessing a child with type 2 diabetes. The child is awake and alert with a serum glucose of 60 mg/dL. What action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: For a conscious child with mild hypoglycemia, giving 15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrates is the appropriate intervention. This can quickly raise blood glucose levels to prevent further complications. Administering insulin (Choice A) would further lower the glucose level, which is not suitable in this scenario. Administering epinephrine (Choice B) is not indicated for hypoglycemia. Glucagon (Choice D) is used for severe hypoglycemia with altered consciousness, not for mild cases where the child is awake and alert.

Question 3 of 5

A child is admitted with renal failure. Which of these findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Azotemia (elevated BUN and creatinine) and oliguria (reduced urine output) are classic signs of renal failure, indicating impaired kidney function. In renal failure, the kidneys are unable to effectively filter waste products, leading to an increase in BUN and creatinine levels in the blood. Additionally, oliguria occurs due to decreased kidney function. Increased GFR (Choice C) is not expected in renal failure as it signifies improved kidney function, which is not the case in renal failure. Polyuria and elevated creatinine clearance (Choice D) are not typical findings in renal failure. Polyuria is more commonly associated with conditions like diabetes insipidus, while elevated creatinine clearance would indicate increased kidney function, which is contrary to the impaired function seen in renal failure.

Question 4 of 5

Which responsibilities are included in the pediatric nurse's promotion of the health and well-being of children? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Pediatric nurses promote health through disease prevention, support, counseling, therapeutic relationships, and participating in ethical decision-making.

Question 5 of 5

During which phase of the nursing process does the nurse use essential information about the child's physical, social, and emotional health to decide which interventions to use?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Planning. During the planning phase of the nursing process, the nurse utilizes essential information gathered during the assessment about the child's physical, social, and emotional health to determine the most appropriate interventions to address the identified needs. This phase focuses on developing a comprehensive care plan tailored to the individual child. A) Implementation is incorrect because this phase involves carrying out the interventions outlined in the care plan. C) Diagnosis is incorrect as it refers to identifying health issues based on the assessment data. D) Assessment is incorrect as it involves collecting and analyzing data about the child's health status, rather than deciding on interventions.
