Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 7-year-old child. Which of the following findings indicates a developmental delay?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Difficulty distinguishing right from left by age 7 suggests a developmental delay, as this milestone is typically achieved earlier. Other options reflect advanced skills not expected at this age.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who has a cleft palate and is having trouble bottle feeding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A one-way flow valve bottle controls milk flow, aiding infants with cleft palate. Narrow nipples, frequent burping, or football hold are less specific to feeding challenges.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an 8-month-old infant. Which of the following findings indicates expected growth and development?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sitting unsupported by 8 months is expected. Bottle holding occurs earlier, palmar grasp fades by this age, and tongue thrust typically resolves by 6 months.
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 child who has pertussis. Which of the following precautions should the nurse initiate?
