Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the care plan of an 18-month-old child who has pneumonia. Which of the following items should the nurse select for the child's play activities?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Wooden building blocks suit an 18-month-old's developmental stage, promoting motor skills and creativity. Beads, scissors, and flashcards require advanced skills beyond this age and may pose safety risks.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a school-age child who has Cushing's syndrome. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rounded facial features ('moon face') are a hallmark of Cushing's syndrome due to cortisol-induced fat deposition. Weight gain, hypertension, and sleep disturbances are more typical than the other options.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a toddler who has conjunctivitis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cleaning the eye with a moist cloth removes secretions safely, reducing irritation. Wiping outward to inward risks contamination, and compresses or morning-only ointment are less effective or appropriate.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for an 18-month-old infant who is 12 hr postoperative following a myringotomy. Which of the following pain rating scales should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The FLACC scale assesses pain in nonverbal children like an 18-month-old using behavioral indicators. Other scales require cognitive abilities beyond this age, such as understanding numbers or colors.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse observes circumoral cyanosis in an infant who is choking. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Delivering back blows with the infant face down is the initial step in the infant choking protocol to dislodge the obstruction. Other actions are inappropriate for active choking scenarios.
