Question 1 of 5

A child is brought to the emergency department with burns on the face and chest. What is the nurse's first priority?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Remove clothing. Removing clothing is important to prevent further injury from retained heat or chemicals, but it is not the first priority compared to ensuring a patent airway and adequate breathing. Administer pain medication. Pain management is important but comes after ensuring the child's airway and respiratory status are stable. Assess respiratory status. Burns on the face and chest can compromise the airway and breathing. Assessing respiratory status is the first priority to ensure the child's airway is not obstructed and that they are receiving adequate oxygen. Insert a Foley catheter. Inserting a Foley catheter may be necessary to monitor urine output and assess kidney function in severe burns, but it is not the first priority compared to assessing respiratory status.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from an infant. Which of the following is a clinical manifestation of pyloric stenosis?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Projectile vomiting after feedings: Projectile vomiting after feedings, especially occurring a short time after feeding, is a classic sign of pyloric stenosis due to obstruction at the pylorus. Absent bowel sounds: Absent bowel sounds may occur in more advanced cases of bowel obstruction but are not specific to pyloric stenosis. Increased sodium level: Increased sodium level is not typically associated with pyloric stenosis. Golf ball-size mass over the left quadrant: A palpable mass in the left quadrant is not a typical finding in pyloric stenosis.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is collecting data from a child who has sickle-cell disease and is experiencing a vaso-occlusive crisis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Constipation: Vaso-occlusive crisis in sickle-cell disease is characterized by severe pain due to ischemia from blocked blood flow, rather than gastrointestinal symptoms like constipation. Vomiting: Vomiting is not typically associated with vaso-occlusive crisis but may occur due to pain or other causes. Pain: Pain is the hallmark symptom of vaso-occlusive crisis in sickle-cell disease, caused by ischemia and tissue damage. Bradycardia: Bradycardia is not a typical finding in vaso-occlusive crisis; instead, tachycardia might be present due to pain or stress.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a school-age child who has type 1 diabetes mellitus and his parents about illness management. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Test the urine for ketones. While testing for ketones can be part of illness management in diabetes, it is not as immediate an action as contacting a healthcare provider when blood glucose levels are very high. Withhold insulin dose if feeling nauseous. Insulin should not be withheld due to nausea. It is important to maintain insulin to control blood glucose levels even when feeling unwell. Adjustments to insulin may be necessary based on blood glucose levels and food intake. Notify the provider if blood glucose levels are over 350 mg/dL. Blood glucose levels over 350 mg/dL are concerning and may indicate the need for medical intervention to prevent complications like diabetic ketoacidosis. The healthcare provider should be notified. Limit fluid intake during meal time. Adequate fluid intake is important, especially when blood glucose levels are high, to help prevent dehydration and facilitate glucose clearance. Limiting fluids is not appropriate.

Question 5 of 5

An adolescent with type 1 diabetes mellitus will become a member of the school's football cheerleader team. The adolescent excitedly reports to the school nurse to obtain information regarding adjustments needed in the treatment plan for the diabetes. The school nurse would explain to the adolescent to take which action?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Take the prescribed insulin 30 minutes before practice or game time rather than in the morning. Insulin timing should generally be consistent with meal times to match insulin action with food intake. Adjusting timing without medical advice can lead to imbalanced blood sugar levels. Eat half the amount of food normally eaten at lunchtime. Eating less food than usual can lead to hypoglycemia during prolonged physical activity and is not recommended. Eat six graham crackers or drink a cup of orange juice before practice or game time. This action helps to prevent hypoglycemia during physical activity by providing quick-acting carbohydrates that can be readily absorbed and utilized by the body. Take two times the amount of prescribed insulin on practice and game days. Doubling insulin doses without medical supervision can lead to hypoglycemia and is not appropriate for managing blood sugar during physical activity.
