Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who is experiencing a tonic-clonic seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Padding under the head prevents injury during a seizure. Restraining, magnesium, or tongue blades risk harm or are inappropriate.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with the guardians of a toddler. Which of the following snack foods should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A hard-boiled egg is safe and nutritious, avoiding choking risks posed by raw carrots, grapes, and popcorn, which are hazards for toddlers due to their size and texture.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a school-age child who has enuresis. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A diary tracks progress in enuresis management. Fluid limits help but aren't comprehensive, frequent urination isn't practical, and fiber isn't related.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about laboratory testing with an adolescent who has suspected juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Which of the following laboratory tests should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 80 mg/kg/day to divide equally every 8 hr to a preschooler who weighs 33 lb. Available is amoxicillin oral suspension 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 33 lb / 2.2 = 15 kg; 80 mg/kg/day × 15 kg = 1200 mg/day; 1200 mg / 3 doses = 400 mg/dose; 400 mg / (250 mg/5 mL) = 8 mL.
