Question 1 of 5

Which strategies should the school nurse recommend implementing in the classroom for a child with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD)? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Accompany verbal instructions by written format: Children with ADHD may have difficulty retaining verbal instructions due to their distractibility and impulsivity. Providing written instructions alongside verbal ones can help reinforce the information and improve comprehension.

Question 2 of 5

Which is the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for the child with acute glomerulonephritis?

Correct Answer:

Rationale: Acute glomerulonephritis is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, leading to decreased plasma filtration. As a result, fluid volume excess occurs due to impaired kidney function in regulating the fluid balance. Symptoms may include hypertension, edema, weight gain, and oliguria. Therefore, the most appropriate nursing diagnosis for a child with acute glomerulonephritis would be "Fluid Volume Excess related to decreased plasma filtration". This diagnosis focuses on the pathophysiological process of the condition and helps guide nursing interventions aimed at managing fluid volume overload.

Question 3 of 5

A 3-week-old neonate is brought to the emergency department because of a three-day history of intermittent vomiting. His mother reports that he has not urinated for eight hours. On physical examination, his eyes are sunken. Which of the following will MOST likely require correction before surgery is performed?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Hypochloremia is often associated with dehydration and metabolic alkalosis, which may need correction before surgery.

Question 4 of 5

Which is a function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in the newborn?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is specialized adipose tissue found in newborns and hibernating mammals, whose primary function is to generate heat through non-shivering thermogenesis. This heat generation is essential for maintaining body temperature in newborns, especially as they have a larger surface area-to-volume ratio, which results in greater heat loss compared to adults. BAT produces heat by metabolizing stored lipids and disrupting the normal process of cellular respiration, leading to the production of heat instead of ATP. The heat generated by BAT is then distributed throughout the body to help maintain a stable core body temperature in newborns, who are not yet able to regulate their body temperature as effectively as adults.

Question 5 of 5

Baby Ellie is diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux (GER); which of the following nursing diagnoses would be inappropriate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) primarily involves issues with the digestive system, such as regurgitation of stomach contents into the esophagus. Impaired oral mucous membrane is not directly related to GER. The other nursing diagnoses are more relevant and applicable in a case of GER:
