Extract:

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a school-aged child who is scheduled for a biopsy. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?

A. Explain the procedure to the child 1 week prior to the biopsy. B. Use simple diagrams and photographs to explain the procedure to the child. C. Plan to spend 45 minutes explaining the procedure to the child. D. Explain the possible long-term consequences of the procedure to the child.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Simple diagrams suit school-age comprehension, reducing fear. A week prior is too early, 45 minutes too long, and long-term focus may scare them.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is evaluating teaching about infection control with the caregiver of a school-age child who has rubella. Which of the following statements by the caregiver indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. I won't send my child to school for seven days after the rash disappears.' B. I will take my child for a walk in the hallway today.' C. I will contact my pregnant friend who visited my child a day before the rash appeared.' D. I will keep my child's door closed when I visit.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Isolation for 7 days after rash disappearance prevents rubella spread. Walking, contacting pregnant friends, or just closing the door risks transmission.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is talking privately with an adolescent who has disclosed that their facial fractures are the result of their punishment for coming home 1 hour after their curfew. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. It is not your fault that this happened to you.' B. Your parent was wrong to hit you for coming home late.' C. I won't tell anyone else about this unless you say it's okay.' D. I'm guessing your other parent did not do anything to stop this from happening.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Reassuring it's not their fault reduces guilt, supporting emotional recovery. Judging parents, promising confidentiality (against reporting laws), or speculating risks distress.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has a new diagnosis of lactose intolerance. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. You should gradually increase lactose products in your diet.' B. You should limit your intake of calcium-fortified orange juice.' C. You should drink rice milk instead of cow's milk.' D. You should eat flavored yogurt instead of plain yogurt.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rice milk is lactose-free, suitable for intolerance. Increasing lactose worsens symptoms, orange juice is safe, and flavored yogurt still has lactose.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is preparing to collect data from a toddler during a well-child visit. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

A. Allow the toddler to inspect the stethoscope. B. Perform traumatic procedures first. C. Remove the toddler's outer clothing. D. Discourage the toddler from sitting in the parent's lap.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Inspecting the stethoscope reduces fear, aiding cooperation. Traumatic procedures first, early clothing removal, or discouraging lap-sitting increase anxiety.
