Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is obtaining a sputum sample from a school-age child. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Asking the child to cough deeply helps obtain a sputum sample from the lower respiratory tract. Clearing the throat, wall suction, or bulb syringe are less effective or inappropriate methods.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 1-month-old infant who has just undergone a hernia repair. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Blood pressure of 64/40 mm Hg is abnormally low, indicating potential shock or dehydration, requiring immediate reporting. Other findings are within normal ranges for a 1-month-old.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent who reports manifestations of an STI. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Adolescents can consent to STI screening in many jurisdictions, respecting their privacy. Guardian involvement may deter care, and notification breaches confidentiality unless required.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a child who is in status asthmaticus. Which of the following medications should the nurse administer first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Albuterol rapidly relieves bronchospasm in status asthmaticus. Heliox, prednisone, and saline are secondary or not indicated as first-line treatments.
Question 5 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?
