ATI LPN Pediatrics Care of Newborn Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has a terminal illness. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to the parent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Scheduled pain medication ensures comfort. Limiting sibling visits, dictating parental presence, or suggesting home death disregard family preferences and needs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a school-age child who has mild persistent asthma and has a new prescription for therapy with montelukast. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Montelukast prevents bronchospasms by reducing airway inflammation. It is not a corticosteroid, not for acute attacks, and is typically taken in the evening.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 1-month-old infant who has colic. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A pacifier soothes colicky infants. Water risks intoxication, heating pads may burn, and delayed response increases distress in young infants.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with providing care for an adolescent client who has neuropathic pain. Which of the following medications should the nurse anticipate administering?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gabapentin is effective for neuropathic pain by modulating nerve activity. Oxycodone and acetaminophen are less specific, and duloxetine is not first-line for adolescents.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a preschooler who has moderate partial-thickness burns on both lower extremities. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pain medication 30-45 minutes before therapy manages pain during dressing changes or therapy. Clean technique is standard but not specific to pain, low-calorie snacks are irrelevant, and a child setting their own schedule is unsafe.
