Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has had diarrhea for 3 days. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stool culture identifies the cause for targeted treatment. Apple juice worsens diarrhea, NPO risks dehydration, and weekly weighing misses acute changes.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform a heel stick using a spring-loaded automatic puncture device on a 1-week-old infant. In which of the following locations should the nurse puncture the infant's foot?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The lateral heel is capillary-rich and safe, minimizing pain and ensuring blood flow. Other sites risk trauma or insufficient yield.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a preschooler who reports painful urination. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a possible manifestation of a urinary tract infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fever is a common systemic sign of UTI due to infection. Moist membranes indicate hydration, edema suggests renal issues, and twitching is unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a preschooler who is immediately postoperative following a tonsillectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An ice collar reduces swelling and pain. Cherry juice irritates, straws risk bleeding, and coughing disrupts healing.
Question 5 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?

Rationale: Rice milk is lactose-free, suitable for intolerance. Increasing lactose worsens symptoms, orange juice is safe, and flavored yogurt still has lactose.
