ATI LPN Pediatrics Care of Newborn Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 5-month-old infant who is postoperative following umbilical hernia repair. Which of the following measures should the nurse use to evaluate the infant's pain level?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: FLACC is ideal for non-verbal infants post-surgery. COMFORT suits ICU settings, FACES is for older children, and CRIES is for neonates up to 6 months.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 13-month-old toddler who has a prescription for a urinary catheter. Which of the following urinary catheters should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 5 French catheter is appropriate for a toddler to minimize urethral trauma. Larger sizes (10, 12, 14 French) risk discomfort or injury.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a toddler about promoting effective sleep patterns. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Allowing a drink of water before bed supports hydration without stimulating the child, unlike TV watching or eating close to bedtime, which can disrupt sleep. Moving a child after falling asleep may create dependency.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a child who has diabetes mellitus. The parent asks the nurse how to minimize the child's pain when monitoring blood glucose levels. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warm water increases blood flow, reducing pain during glucose monitoring. Index finger use, central punctures, or table pressure do not specifically minimize discomfort.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a preschooler who has diabetes mellitus and is pale, diaphoretic, and irritable. The child's blood glucose level is 52 mg/dL. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Administering sugar treats hypoglycemia quickly in a conscious child. Peanut butter is slow-acting, rechecking delays treatment, and documentation follows intervention.
