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?

A. Prevent movement of the child's extremities. B. Administer magnesium sulfate to the child. C. Put a tongue blade between the child's teeth. D. Place a folded blanket under the child's head.

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 preparing to administer medication to an infant. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

A. Mix the medication in a bottle of formula. B. Mix the medication with a small amount of honey. C. Place the medication in the back of the infant's throat using a dropper. D. Place the medication in a oral syringe.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: An oral syringe ensures accurate, safe delivery. Mixing with formula or honey risks incomplete dosing or botulism, and back-of-throat dropper risks choking.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a group of clients. Which of the following findings should alert the nurse to the possibility of child maltreatment?

A. A 6-year-old child who is toilet trained and bedwetting B. An 18-month-old child who has several bruises on their shins C. An 8-month-old infant who has stranger anxiety D. A 1-year-old child who kicks and screams when their parent leaves

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Multiple shin bruises in an 18-month-old may suggest abuse, needing further assessment. Bedwetting, stranger anxiety, and separation protests are normal.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a child who has hemophilia about the care of an injury that causes bleeding. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Position the injured extremity below the level of the heart B. Apply an ice pack to the injury C. Perform passive range of motion to the affected area D. Administer ibuprofen

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Ice constricts vessels, reducing bleeding in hemophilia. Elevation, not lowering, ROM, or ibuprofen (which worsens bleeding) are appropriate.

Question 5 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?

A. You should limit the amount of fluid your child drinks an hour before bedtime. B. You should maintain a diary to record dry nights. C. You should have your child urinate every hour while awake. D. You should decrease the amount of soluble fiber in your child's diet.

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.
