ATI LPN Pediatrics Care of Newborn Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a preschooler who has moderate partial-thickness burns on both lower extremities. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pain medication 30-45 minutes before therapy manages pain during dressing changes or therapy. Clean technique is standard but not specific to pain, low-calorie snacks are irrelevant, and a child setting their own schedule is unsafe.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of an infant who requires emergency surgery and whose parent is an emancipated adolescent. Which of the following people can sign the informed consent form for the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An emancipated adolescent parent has legal authority to consent for their child's procedure. Others lack this authority unless legally designated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a pediatric unit is assisting with providing care for multiple children. Which of the following physical findings and parental reports should cause the nurse to suspect child maltreatment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Spiral fractures in toddlers are concerning for abuse, as they often result from twisting forces not typical in a fall from a swing. Bruises on shins, head injuries from biking, and a black eye from a fight are more consistent with common childhood injuries.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a toddler about promoting effective sleep patterns. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Allowing a drink of water before bed supports hydration without stimulating the child, unlike TV watching or eating close to bedtime, which can disrupt sleep. Moving a child after falling asleep may create dependency.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has pertussis. Which of the following precautions should the nurse initiate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pertussis spreads via respiratory droplets, requiring droplet precautions. Contact precautions are for direct contact diseases, airborne for smaller particles like TB, and protective precautions are for immunocompromised patients.
