Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
A nurse is reviewing potential provider orders for a client with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Which of the following orders should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Specimen confirms RSV, suctioning prevents aspiration, and oxygen maintains saturation. Albuterol and percussion are not standard RSV treatments.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer cephalexin 50 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 8 hours to a child who weighs 33 lb. The amount available is cephalexin oral suspension 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Convert 33 lb to 15 kg (33 ÷ 2.2).
Total daily dose: 50 mg/kg/day × 15 kg = 750 mg/day. Per dose: 750 mg ÷ 3 = 250 mg. Volume: 250 mg ÷ (250 mg/5 mL) = 5 mL.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a school-aged child who is scheduled for a biopsy. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Simple diagrams suit school-age comprehension, reducing fear. A week prior is too early, 45 minutes too long, and long-term focus may scare them.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 15-month-old toddler. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Drinking independently aligns with 15-month milestones. Turning pages, overhead throwing, and self-naming develop later or earlier.
