Pediatric Nursing Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which would be the best play activity for a 6-month-old infant to provide tactile stimulation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Allowing the 6-month-old infant to splash in the bath would provide tactile stimulation as they explore the sensation of water on their skin. Water play can be a fun and engaging way to engage the sense of touch, helping the infant develop sensory awareness. The feeling of water on their hands and body can provide a different sensory experience compared to other play activities. Additionally, the gentle splashing can also help with the development of hand-eye coordination as the infant reaches out to touch and interact with the water.

Question 4 of 5
Aisa is to receive a liquid iron preparation. Which of the following directions would be appropriate for the nurse to teach Aisa's mother? a.Administer this at least an hour before meals
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoid giving Aisa orange or other citric juices with the iron preparation. Citric juices, such as orange juice, can decrease the absorption of iron in the body. Therefore, it is important to avoid giving these juices when administering the liquid iron preparation to Aisa to ensure optimal absorption of the iron. It would be best to encourage the use of non-citric juices or water when administering the iron preparation to Aisa.
Question 5 of 5
If a client's parathyroid glands were accidentally removed during a procedure, which condition should the nurse prepare for?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The parathyroid glands play a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the body. If the parathyroid glands are accidentally removed during a procedure, the patient is at risk for developing hypocalcemia due to the lack of parathyroid hormone (PTH) production. PTH helps to maintain normal calcium levels in the blood by stimulating the release of calcium from the bones, increasing calcium absorption in the intestines, and reducing calcium excretion by the kidneys. Without PTH, the body's ability to regulate calcium is impaired, leading to low calcium levels, which is known as hypocalcemia. Symptoms of hypocalcemia can include muscle cramps, spasms, and tingling sensations. Nurses should be prepared to monitor for and manage hypocalcemia in a patient who has had their parathyroid glands accidentally removed during a procedure.
