Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is collecting data from an adolescent who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis and has been taking ibuprofen daily for the last 6 months. Which of the following client statements should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Blood in stool suggests possible GI bleeding from long-term ibuprofen use, requiring urgent reporting. Stiffness is expected, vitamins are benign, and a single missed dose is less critical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is planning to reinforce teaching about head injuries with a group of parents of school-age children. The nurse should instruct the parents to monitor for and report which of the following manifestations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Irritability may signal increased intracranial pressure post-head injury, requiring prompt reporting. Insomnia, diarrhea, and hypothermia are less directly related.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a preschooler who has diabetes mellitus and is pale, diaphoretic, and irritable. The child's blood glucose level is 52 mg/dL. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Administering sugar treats hypoglycemia quickly in a conscious child. Peanut butter is slow-acting, rechecking delays treatment, and documentation follows intervention.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of an adolescent who has ADHD and a prescription for methylphenidate. Which of the following statements by the guardian indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using charts supports organization in ADHD. Methylphenidate may cause weight loss, changing study areas disrupts routine, and it requires regular dosing, not as-needed.

A nurse is caring for a toddler who has a respiratory illness and a temperature of 39.3° C (102.7° F). Which of the following actions should the nurse take to reduce the toddler's temperature?

Rationale: Removing extra clothing allows heat loss safely. Tepid baths risk shivering, aspirin risks Reye's syndrome, and cooling blankets are for severe cases.
