Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about physiological changes in the digestive system that occur with aging. The nurse should include older adults might experience which of the following physiological changes?

Rationale: Decreased intestinal peristalsis in older adults can lead to constipation.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse has accepted a position in a pediatric unit and is learning about psychosocial development. Place Erikson's stages of psychosocial development in order from birth to adolescence. (place them in the selected order of performance.)
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D,E
Rationale: Trust vs. Mistrust (Birth to 1 year): In this stage, infants learn to trust or mistrust their caregivers and the world based on the consistency of care they receive. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1 to 3 years): During this stage, toddlers learn to exercise will and to do things independently; failure to do so causes shame and doubt. Initiative vs. Guilt (3 to 6 years): In this stage, children begin to assert control and power over their environment through directing play and other social interactions. Industry vs. Inferiority (6 to 12 years): Here, children learn to read, write, and do things on their own. Peers and teachers become significant figures, and children strive to be competent and successful. Identity vs. Role Confusion (12 to 18 years): Adolescents search for a sense of self and personal identity, through an intense exploration of personal values, beliefs, and goals.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 12-month-old infant who is brought to the clinic by the parents for a well-child visit. The nurse reviews the infant's health history and notes that the infant weighed $8 \mathrm{lb}$ at birth. When assessing the infant's weight at this visit,the nurse would anticipate that the infant would weigh approximately how much at this time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: 20 lbs: This is a plausible estimate. By 12 months, an infant's birth weight typically triples.
Therefore, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would approximately translate to $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 32 lbs: This estimate is too high. If an infant's birth weight triples by 12 months, an $8 \mathrm{lb}$ birth weight would not be expected to reach 32 lbs. 24 lbs: An infant's weight usually triples by their first birthday.
Therefore, an infant born weighing $8 \mathrm{lbs}$ would be expected to weigh about $24 \mathrm{lbs}$ at 12 months. 16 lbs: This is an underestimate. An $8 \mathrm{lb}$ infant would double their birth weight by about 4 to 6 months, and by 12 months, they would typically have tripled their birth weight to around $24 \mathrm{lbs}$.
Question 5 of 5
At the end of the shift,the nurse documents that the client has voided $475 \mathrm{ml}$ during the shift via an indwelling urinary catheter. What type of data has the nurse documented?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Covert: Covert data refers to information that is hidden, subjective, or not immediately observable, such as symptoms reported by the client. Voided volume is measurable and observable, so it is not covert. Subjective: Subjective data is information reported by the client, such as feelings, perceptions, or symptoms. Since the urine output is a measurable and observable fact, it is not subjective. Objective: Objective data is factual, measurable, and observable. The voided volume of $475 \mathrm{ml}$ is a precise, quantifiable measurement, making it objective data. Symptomatic: Symptomatic data pertains to symptoms experienced by the client, which are typically subjective. The documented urine output is a specific, quantifiable measurement and not a symptom.
