Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data on a 1-month-old infant during a well-child visit. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A respiratory rate of 64/min is normal for a 1-month-old (30-60 breaths/min). Rooting reflex should be present, head lag is expected but not primary, and yellow sclera suggests jaundice needing evaluation.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for an infant who has heart failure. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Frequent feedings every 3 hours help infants with heart failure avoid fatigue while ensuring nutrition. Diluting formula reduces calories, lateral positioning risks aspiration, and gavage is unnecessary unless oral feeding fails.

A nurse is preparing to administer recommended immunizations to a 4-year-old child who is up-to-date on current immunizations and severely immunocompromised. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: B
