ATI PN Pediatrics nursing 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is contributing to the plan of care for a group of clients. The nurse should identify that which of the following clients will require parental consent prior to receiving treatment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A biopsy typically requires parental consent for a 14-year-old, unlike STI testing, contraception, or prenatal care, which minors can often access independently.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 10-year-old child who is terminally ill. The child's guardian and younger sibling are at the bedside. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to the guardian?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A 10-year-old understands death's permanence, and answering their questions supports them emotionally. Hiding grief or limiting sibling visits isolates the child.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a child who has heart failure and is taking furosemide. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Furosemide reduces fluid overload, decreasing edema as an effectiveness marker. Increased respiratory rate or potassium levels indicate issues, not success.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with the guardians of a toddler. Which of the following snack foods should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A hard-boiled egg is safe and nutritious, avoiding choking risks posed by raw carrots, grapes, and popcorn, which are hazards for toddlers due to their size and texture.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a school-age child who has hypothyroidism. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lethargy reflects slowed metabolism in hypothyroidism. Diarrhea and tachycardia suggest hyperthyroidism, and hirsutism isn't typical.
