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?

A. Absent rooting reflex B. Respiratory rate 64/min C. Head lag D. Yellow sclera

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 reinforcing teaching about bicycle safety with a school-age child. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

A. Choose a helmet that is light in color and covers your ears. B. Ride against traffic to allow visibility to oncoming vehicles. C. Ride instead of walk your bicycle through crosswalks and intersections. D. Ensure the balls of your feet touch the ground when you are seated on the bicycle.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Feet touching the ground ensures balance and control, enhancing safety. Helmets cover the forehead, riding with traffic is safer, and walking bikes through crosswalks is recommended.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is assisting with the care of a preschooler who is immediately postoperative following a tonsillectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

A. Apply an ice collar. B. Encourage the child to use a straw. C. Remind the child to cough and deep breathe. D. Provide cherry fruit juice.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: An ice collar reduces swelling and pain post-tonsillectomy. Straws, coughing, and acidic juices risk bleeding or irritation at the surgical site.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing dietary teaching with the guardians of a toddler. Which of the following snack foods should the nurse recommend?

A. Grapes B. Raw carrots C. Hard-boiled egg D. Popcorn

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A hard-boiled egg is nutritious and safe when cut into pieces, avoiding choking risks posed by grapes, raw carrots, and popcorn for toddlers.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 1-year-old infant about administering a liquid oral medication. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. You should position your child on their back during administration of the medication. B. You should add the medication to your child's formula prior to feeding. C. You should put small bits of ice on your child's tongue prior to administering the medication. D. You should place the medication along the side of your child's tongue during administration.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Placing medication along the tongue's side aids swallowing and prevents gagging, ensuring safe administration. Back positioning risks aspiration, mixing with formula risks incomplete dosing, and ice is impractical.
