A nurse is caring for a child who has a suspected diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has a suspected diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Which of the following diagnostic tests will confirm the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The sweat chloride test is the gold standard for diagnosing cystic fibrosis as it measures elevated chloride levels in sweat, which is a hallmark of the condition. A stool fat content analysis can indicate malabsorption but is not specific to cystic fibrosis. Pulmonary function tests assess lung function but are not diagnostic for cystic fibrosis. A sputum culture identifies infections but does not confirm the diagnosis.

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a school-aged child who has uncontrolled asthma. The child's parent does not seem engaged in the child's treatment during the hospitalization and states that the child manages their care with little assistance from them. Which of the following nursing interventions is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Educating the parent comprehensively empowers them to engage in asthma management, addressing their lack of involvement constructively. Contacting child protective services is premature, a schedule alone doesn't engage the parent, and reviewing the plan with only the child and school nurse excludes the parent.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing education to a school-age child who has a new diagnosis of asthma. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who just returned from a cardiac catheterization. Which of the following nursing interventions should the nurse include in the client's plan of care? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: Post-cardiac catheterization care includes bed rest for 4-6 hours to prevent bleeding, checking peripheral pulses to monitor circulation, keeping the hip and leg extended to avoid strain on the insertion site, and frequent vital sign monitoring to detect complications. High-Fowler's position is not typically recommended as it may stress the insertion site.
