Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a child who has nephrotic syndrome and a prescription for corticosteroids. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A low-sodium diet manages fluid retention in nephrotic syndrome. Increased fluids worsen edema, urine ketones are irrelevant, and pancreatic enzymes are not indicated.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 13-month-old toddler who has a prescription for a urinary catheter. Which of the following urinary catheters should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 5 French catheter is appropriate for a toddler to minimize urethral trauma. Larger sizes (10, 12, 14 French) risk discomfort or injury.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a hospitalized toddler who has congenital heart disease. The parent calls the nurse to the room to ask for fresh linens and states, 'My child never wets the bed at home. I am not sure why this is happening now.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make to the parent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Regression like bedwetting is common during hospitalization stress and is typically temporary. Other responses either dismiss concerns or unnecessarily escalate the issue.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 7-year-old child. Which of the following findings indicates a developmental delay?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Difficulty distinguishing right from left by age 7 suggests a developmental delay, as this milestone is typically achieved earlier. Other options reflect advanced skills not expected at this age.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing car seat safety instructions with the parents of a 15-month-old toddler. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rear-facing car seats until age 2 protect the child's head, neck, and spine. Forward-facing too early, front-seat placement, or premature booster use increase injury risk.
