Question 1 of 5
A nurse is interviewing the parents of a 3-year-old child. Which of the following statements from the parents should the nurse recognize as a manifestation of a hearing loss in the child?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Our child repeats statements often. This is indicative of echolalia, a common behavior in children with hearing loss who may repeat what they hear due to difficulty processing language. Monotone voice (
A) is more related to speech development. Responding quickly in short sentences (

Question 2 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because puncturing the outer aspect of the heel is the appropriate technique for obtaining a blood sample in a heel stick procedure. This area has a rich blood supply, making it ideal for sampling.
Choice A is incorrect because applying a cool pack can cause vasoconstriction, making it harder to obtain a sample.
Choice C is incorrect as using a surgical blade is not recommended due to the risk of injury and contamination.
Choice D is incorrect because wiping the site with alcohol after the puncture can introduce contaminants. Overall, puncturing the outer aspect of the heel is the safest and most effective method for obtaining a blood sample in this scenario.

Question 4 of 5
Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that treatment has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Clear urine. Clear urine indicates proper hydration and kidney function, showing that the treatment has been effective in maintaining the body's fluid balance. Odorless urine (choice
A) is not a reliable indicator of treatment effectiveness. Temperature (choice
B) within normal range doesn't directly relate to treatment success. No pain with voiding (choice
C) is important but doesn't necessarily indicate treatment effectiveness. The focus should be on physiological changes like clear urine to assess treatment outcomes.

C) is nutritious but may not provide the necessary electrolytes. Providing a detailed rationale helps guide the parent in making the best choice for the infant's health.
