ATI LPN Pediatrics nursing 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the collection of a bone marrow specimen from a preschooler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The posterior iliac crest is the typical site for bone marrow aspiration in children, and the prone position provides safe, stable access. Other positions do not effectively expose this site for the procedure.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent who has a prescription for tretinoin topical for the treatment of acne. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Tretinoin increases sun sensitivity, necessitating sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. A pea-sized amount, nighttime application, and waiting 20-30 minutes post-wash are the correct methods.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has a new prescription for continuous pulse oximetry monitoring. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Warming the skin improves circulation for accurate pulse oximetry readings, especially in children. Frequent repositioning, taping to the palm, or nail placement are less effective or incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has a new diagnosis of lactose intolerance. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rice milk is lactose-free, making it a suitable alternative to cow's milk for lactose intolerance. Yogurt may still contain lactose, increasing lactose is counterproductive, and calcium-fortified juice is beneficial.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an infant who has respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rhinorrhea, or a runny nose, is a common early symptom of RSV, which often starts with cold-like symptoms before progressing to respiratory distress. Barrel chest and clubbing are associated with chronic conditions, not acute RSV, and vesicles are linked to other infections like chickenpox.
