Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to a plan of care for a 24-month-old toddler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ensuring a nap supports rest and development. Buttoning shirts, yes/no questions, and sharing toys are beneficial but not the priority over rest for a toddler's well-being.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 1-month-old infant who has colic. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A pacifier soothes colicky infants. Water risks intoxication, heating pads may burn, and delayed response increases distress in young infants.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting in the admission of a 9-month-old infant who has gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea. Which of the following findings is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The elevated heart rate (tachycardia) at 182/min indicates increased cardiac workload, likely due to dehydration from gastroenteritis, requiring immediate attention. While skin turgor, potassium levels, and capillary refill are important, tachycardia is the priority to stabilize the infant.

Rationale: Loosening clothing, timing the seizure, and side-lying position ensure safety and documentation. Hyperextending the neck risks injury, and restraining is unsafe.
