Extract:
An infant with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) using a Pavlik harness.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is caring for an infant who has developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The nurse should include which of the following instructions in the teaching plan for the parents about the Pavlik harness?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Diapers under the harness ensure proper function. Strap adjustments are provider-only, breastfeeding may disrupt alignment, and removing the harness risks treatment failure.
Extract:
A 3-year-old child with 160 mL urine output over 8 hr, weighs 33 lb.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 3-year-old child who has had 160 mL of urine output over the past 8 hr period. The child weighs 33 lb. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The child's urine output (20 mL/hr) is below the expected 30-40 mL/hr, suggesting dehydration. Providing oral rehydration fluids addresses this. Monitoring alone delays intervention. A bladder scan is not the first step, as retention is unlikely. Notifying the provider comes after initial fluid administration and assessment.
Extract:
School-age boys.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is developing a health program for the parents of school-age boys. Which of the following information about pubescent changes should the nurse include in the program?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Growth spurts occur in mid-puberty, correct. Voice changes are mid-to-late puberty. Delayed puberty is diagnosed at 14, not 11. Gynecomastia occurs early-to-mid puberty.
Extract:
Preschooler findings.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the health care provider immediately? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: C,D
Rationale: Developmental regression suggests serious neurological issues, and abnormal neutrophil counts indicate infection risk, both requiring immediate reporting. Appetite, platelet, and hemoglobin issues are less urgent without specific abnormalities.
Extract:
A child with red marks across his cheeks.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has red marks across his cheeks. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Red cheek marks suggest fifth disease, which may spread to the body. Assessing for rash confirms this. Abuse referral or questioning parents is premature; temperature is nonspecific.
