Rationale: The correct answer is A: Liver function tests. Atomoxetine, used to treat ADHD, can potentially cause liver injury. Monitoring liver function tests can help detect any liver abnormalities early on. Kidney function tests (
B) are not typically affected by atomoxetine. Hemoglobin and hematocrit (

C) in infants commonly presents with a rounded abdomen due to abdominal distension (
B). Vomiting (
C) is also a common symptom associated with NEC. Tachypnea (
D) may occur due to abdominal distension and sepsis. Hypertension (
A) is not typically associated with NEC in infants. The other choices are not provided, but based on typical NEC symptoms, they would not be expected in a patient with this condition.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 1-year-old child who has been hospitalized. Which of the following items in the child's room is a common source of health care-associated infections?
Correct Answer: B

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about home safety to the adult child of an older adult client who is postoperative following knee replacement surgery. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Ensure that area rugs have rubber backs. This instruction is important because rugs with rubber backs are less likely to slip, reducing the risk of falls for the older adult post knee replacement surgery.
Choice A is incorrect as wearing shoes at home can increase the risk of falls due to slippery surfaces.
Choice B is incorrect as placing a throw rug over electrical cords can create a tripping hazard.
Choice C is incorrect as marking the edges of the doorway with tape does not address the risk of tripping over rugs.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a toddler who has acute lymphocytic leukemia. In which of the following activities should the nurse expect the child to participate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Watching a cartoon in the activity room.
Toddlers with acute lymphocytic leukemia are often immunocompromised, making them susceptible to infections.
Therefore, activities that involve potential injury or exposure to germs, such as using scissors (choice
A) or playing with toys that cannot be easily cleaned (choice
B) should be avoided. Looking at alphabet flash cards (choice
C) may be mentally stimulating but does not address the safety concerns. Watching a cartoon in the activity room (choice
D) is a safe and enjoyable activity that can help keep the child entertained without posing a risk of injury or infection.
