ATI PN Pediatrics Nursing 2023 II Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a 6-month-old infant 20 minutes after administering a hepatitis B immunization. Which of the following findings is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hives on the neck may indicate an allergic reaction, potentially anaphylactic, requiring immediate action. Crying, redness, and mild fever are common and less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a child via a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gravity flow ensures safe delivery. Crushing sustained-release alters efficacy, 2 mL is insufficient, and mixing risks interactions.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is reviewing collected data. Which finding is consistent with acute laryngotracheobronchitis or pneumonia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stridor is a high-pitched sound often caused by airway obstruction or inflammation, a hallmark of acute laryngotracheobronchitis, making it a key finding. The cough type, while relevant, lacks specificity to differentiate between laryngotracheobronchitis and pneumonia. Fever is common in both conditions but not distinctive. Irritability is nonspecific and does not confirm either diagnosis.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the collection of a bone marrow specimen from a preschooler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prone position exposes the iliac crest, ideal for marrow collection. Other positions don't provide access or stability.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a school-age child who has pediculosis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hot drying for 20 minutes kills lice and nits. Bags need 14 days, antibacterial solutions don't target lice, and 100°F water is too cool.
