Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is making a home visit to a 5-year-old child who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. Which of the following observations made by the nurse indicates that the family needs support and resources to cope with the child's condition?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A withdrawn parent suggests emotional distress or difficulty coping, indicating a need for support. Grandparent assistance, sibling play, and step-parent involvement reflect positive family engagement.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has a terminal illness. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to the parent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Scheduled pain medication ensures comfort. Limiting sibling visits, dictating parental presence, or suggesting home death disregard family preferences and needs.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a school-age child who is current on recommended immunizations. Which of the following immunizations should the nurse plan to administer at the 11-year-old well-child visit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Tdap is recommended at 11-12 years as a booster. Hib, IPV, and RV are given in infancy, not at this age.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has oral candidiasis and a new prescription for clotrimazole troche. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dissolving the troche slowly maximizes effectiveness. Refrigeration isn't needed, crushing alters delivery, and white patches indicate ongoing infection, not a reason to stop.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is caring for a group of infants. Which of the following findings should the nurse report as a possible indication of physical maltreatment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Splash-mark burns suggest possible abuse due to their pattern and should be reported. Hemangiomas are benign, bruises need context, and abrasions may be accidental.
