Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an infant. Which of the following areas should the nurse palpate to check for an inguinal hernia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Palpating the groin area detects inguinal hernias, where intestines protrude through abdominal muscles. The abdomen, lower back, and upper thigh are not specific sites for this condition.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a child via a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 2 mL may not clear the tube. Gravity flow ensures safe delivery. Crushing sustained-release alters efficacy. Mixing risks interactions.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a preschooler who reports painful urination. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a possible manifestation of a urinary tract infection?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Facial edema suggests kidney issues, not UTI. Fever is common in UTIs due to infection. Muscle twitching and moist membranes are unrelated to UTIs.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has had diarrhea for 3 days. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
