Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a preschooler who sustained a major burn injury 5 days ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a manifestation of sepsis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Disorientation signals sepsis from systemic infection and poor oxygenation. Sepsis reduces bowel sounds, causes hyperglycemia, and decreases urine output.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a child who has hemophilia about the care of an injury that causes bleeding. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ice constricts vessels, reducing bleeding in hemophilia. Elevation, not lowering, ROM, or ibuprofen (which worsens bleeding) are appropriate.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer liquid ibuprofen to a school-age child. The prescription reads 200 mg every 8 hr. The amount available is 100 mg/5 mL. How many mL of ibuprofen should the nurse administer over a 24-hr period? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 200 mg/100 mg per 5 mL = 10 mL per dose; 3 doses in 24 hr = 30 mL total.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a 24-month-old child. Which of the following developmental characteristics should the nurse consider when planning care for the child?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Parallel play is typical at 24 months, where toddlers play beside but not with others. Questioning, sharing, and imaginary friends develop later.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting growth and development data from a 5-year-old child during a well-child visit. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates the child's cognitive and language skills require further investigation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: At 5, children should use 5-6 word sentences; 3-4 words suggest a language delay needing evaluation. Other skills are age-appropriate.
