Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a preschooler who reports painful urination. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a possible manifestation of a urinary tract infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fever is a common systemic sign of UTI due to infection. Moist membranes indicate hydration, edema suggests renal issues, and twitching is unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a school-age child who has autism and is scheduled for surgery. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Minimizing contact respects sensory needs, reducing distress. TV, shared rooms, and eye contact during agitation increase overstimulation and anxiety.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an 18-month-old infant who is 12 hours postoperative following a myringotomy. Which of the following pain rating scales should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The FLACC Scale assesses pain in non-verbal infants via behavior, ideal for an 18-month-old. Others require higher cognitive ability.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has had diarrhea for 3 days. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stool culture identifies the cause for targeted treatment. Apple juice worsens diarrhea, NPO risks dehydration, and weekly weighing misses acute changes.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a child via a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gravity flow ensures safe delivery. Crushing sustained-release alters efficacy, 2 mL is insufficient, and mixing risks interactions.
