Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning home care for a 9-year-old child following an acute exacerbation of asthma. Which of the following of Erikson's developmental stages should the nurse consider in the planning?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 9-year-old is in the industry vs. inferiority stage, focusing on competence. The care plan should support asthma management to foster accomplishment.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 40 weeks gestation and is in active labor. The client has 6 cm of cervical dilation and 100% cervical effacement. The nurse obtains the client's blood pressure reading as 82/52 mm Hg. Which of the following nursing interventions should the nurse perform?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hypotension (82/52 mm Hg) in labor suggests reduced placental perfusion. Turning the client to her side (preferably left) improves uterine blood flow. Cesarean or vaginal delivery preparation and upright positioning are not immediate priorities.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an 18-month-old toddler who has been hospitalized for 10 days. After the toddler's mother leaves the room, the nurse observes the toddler sitting quietly in the corner of the crib, sucking her thumb. When the nurse approaches the crib, the toddler turns away from the nurse. The nurse should understand that these behaviors indicate which of the following developmental reactions?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Thumb-sucking and withdrawal in a hospitalized toddler indicate regression due to stress and separation. These behaviors do not reflect resentment, anxiety, or autonomy.
