RN Pediatric NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A mother asks, "How should I bathe my baby now that he's had surgery for his inguinal hernia?" Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the mother?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sponge baths for 1 week keep the incision dry and reduce infection risk.
Question 2 of 5
When developing the teaching plan for the mother of a 2-year-old child diagnosed with babies, which do not be the following points should the nurse expect to include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The question likely refers to scabies (miswritten as 'babies'). Scabies requires treatment of all household members to prevent reinfestation. Damp mopping is less relevant, frequent holding may spread mites, and itching may persist post-treatment.
Question 3 of 5
A child with a peanut allergy is prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector. The nurse should teach the parents to administer it in which situation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lip and tongue swelling indicates anaphylaxis, requiring immediate epinephrine. Itching, upset stomach, or fatigue are less severe and managed differently.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching the parents of an 8-month-old about what the child should be eating. The nurse should include which of the following points in the teaching plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Whole milk can be introduced at 12 months, as infants need the fat content for brain development.
Question 5 of 5
After a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, which of the following findings should alert the nurse to suspect early hemorrhage in a 5-year-old child?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Drooling of bright red secretions indicates active bleeding, a sign of early hemorrhage post-tonsillectomy. A pulse rate of 95 bpm is within normal range for a 5-year-old, and vomiting dark brown emesis suggests older blood, not active bleeding. Blood pressure of 95/56 mm Hg is low but not specific to hemorrhage without other signs.
