ATI PN Pediatrics Nursing 2023 II Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to collect data from an 11-month-old infant who has failure to thrive. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Poor muscle tone is expected due to malnutrition in failure to thrive. Eye contact and stranger anxiety are normal, and weight is typically below the 5th percentile.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about bicycle safety with a school-age child. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Feet touching the ground ensures bike fit and stability. Helmets shouldn't cover ears, and riding through crosswalks or against traffic increases risks.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has a new diagnosis of lactose intolerance. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rice milk is lactose-free, suitable for intolerance. Increasing lactose worsens symptoms, orange juice is safe, and flavored yogurt still has lactose.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a school-age child who has autism and is scheduled for surgery. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Minimizing physical contact respects sensory sensitivities common in autism, reducing distress. Semiprivate rooms increase stimuli, eye contact during agitation may provoke anxiety, and leaving the TV on risks overstimulation, all of which are inappropriate.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 4-year-old client admitted to the pediatric unit for respiratory distress. Which of the following findings should be addressed immediately?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stridor during inspiration indicates an upper airway obstruction, requiring immediate attention to prevent severe hypoxia or respiratory failure. A wet, productive cough suggests a lower respiratory issue but is less urgent. A fever of 38.5°C (101.3°F) is concerning but not immediately life-threatening. Irritability is nonspecific and less critical than stridor.
