Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 2-year-old toddler during a well-child visit. For which of the following findings should the nurse notify the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Only six teeth at age 2 indicates a developmental delay, as most children have 16 teeth by this age. Other findings align with normal 2-year-old milestones.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a preschooler who has a hip fracture and is in a spica cast. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A hot spot on the cast may indicate localized infection, as it suggests warmth from underlying inflammation or infection, which requires prompt assessment. Edema, itching, and pain are common with casts but not specific to infection unless accompanied by other signs.
Question 3 of 5
A school nurse is assisting with health screenings for school-age children during a health fair. The nurse should identify that which of the following findings indicates scoliosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Uneven shoulders when standing erect indicate scoliosis due to spinal curvature asymmetry, a key screening sign. Other findings relate to different musculoskeletal issues.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse observes circumoral cyanosis in an infant who is choking. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Delivering back blows with the infant face down is the initial step in the infant choking protocol to dislodge the obstruction. Other actions are inappropriate for active choking scenarios.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the care plan of an 18-month-old child who has pneumonia. Which of the following items should the nurse select for the child's play activities?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Wooden building blocks suit an 18-month-old's developmental stage, promoting motor skills and creativity. Beads, scissors, and flashcards require advanced skills beyond this age and may pose safety risks.
