Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a hospitalized toddler who has congenital heart disease. The parent calls the nurse to the room to ask for fresh linens and states, 'My child never wets the bed at home. I am not sure why this is happening now.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make to the parent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Regression like bedwetting is common during hospitalization stress and is typically temporary. Other responses either dismiss concerns or unnecessarily escalate the issue.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a preschooler who has recently started to stutter. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoiding sentence completion reduces pressure and supports fluency. Critiquing, looking away, or suggesting deep breaths may increase anxiety and worsen stuttering.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 13-month-old toddler who has a prescription for a urinary catheter. Which of the following urinary catheters should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 5 French catheter is appropriate for a toddler to minimize urethral trauma. Larger sizes (10, 12, 14 French) risk discomfort or injury.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a school-age child who is undergoing testing for acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). The nurse should inform the parent that the child will undergo which of the following tests to confirm the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bone marrow biopsy is the definitive test to confirm ALL by examining marrow for abnormal cells. Spinal fluid analysis and CBC may support diagnosis but are not confirmatory. Bleeding time assesses platelet function, not leukemia.
