Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who just delivered a newborn. Following the delivery, which nursing action should be done first to care for the newborn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clearing the respiratory tract is the priority to ensure the newborn can breathe effectively, as any mucus or fluid in the airway could obstruct breathing.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing oral care for a client who is immobile. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A,C
Rationale: Applying petroleum jelly prevents lip dryness, and turning the client on their side prevents aspiration. Forcing the mouth open with fingers risks injury, and a stiff toothbrush can harm delicate tissues.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 30 mg/kg/day divided equally every 12 hr to a toddler who weighs 33 lb. Available is amoxicillin 200 mg/5 mL suspension. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 5.6 mL
Rationale: Calculation: 33 lb / 2.2 = 15 kg; 30 mg/kg/day × 15 kg = 450 mg/day; 450 mg / 2 doses = 225 mg/dose; 225 mg ÷ (200 mg/5 mL) = 5.625 mL, rounded to 5.6 mL per dose.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform an abdominal assessment on a child. Identify the sequence the nurse should follow.
Correct Answer: C,B,A,D
Rationale: The correct sequence is Inspection, Auscultation, Superficial palpation, Deep palpation. Inspection is first to observe without discomfort, followed by auscultation to assess baseline bowel sounds before palpation alters them. Superficial palpation assesses tenderness gently, and deep palpation is last to minimize discomfort.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and a prescription for digoxin 125 mcg PO daily. Available is digoxin PO 0.25 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 0.5
Rationale: Converting 125 mcg to 0.125 mg and dividing by 0.25 mg/tablet yields 0.5 tablets, which is already rounded to the nearest tenth.
