Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to examine the breasts of a client. In what position should the nurse place the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lithotomy: The lithotomy position is primarily used for gynecological exams and procedures, where the client is lying on their back with legs elevated and supported. It is not appropriate for breast examination. Sims: The Sims position, where the client is lying on their side with one knee bent, is typically used for rectal exams and certain types of enemas. It is not suitable for breast examination. Supine: The supine position, where the client lies flat on their back, is the most appropriate for breast examination. This position allows for better palpation and inspection of the breasts and facilitates a thorough examination. Prone: The prone position involves lying face down. This position does not provide access to the breasts and is not used for breast examination.
Question 2 of 5
Which type of play is most typical of the toddler stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Parallel play: Parallel play is typical of toddlers, where they play alongside each other but do not interact or play directly with each other. This is a key stage in social development where they start to notice peers but prefer independent activities. Cooperative play: Cooperative play involves children playing together with a common goal or activity. This type of play is more typical of older preschoolers and school-age children. Solitary play: Solitary play is common in infants and very young toddlers where they play alone and are not engaged with others. By the toddler stage, children often progress to parallel play. Associative play: Associative play involves children interacting and playing together, but not with a structured goal or organization. This typically develops after parallel play, around the preschool age.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
You're assessing a 4-month-old infant. Which finding below is a normal milestone that should be reached by this infant at this age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pincer grasp: The pincer grasp, which involves using the thumb and forefinger to pick up small objects, typically develops around 8 to 12 months of age, not at 4 months. Rolls from tummy to back: At 4 months, many infants start to develop the ability to roll from their tummy to their back. This is a typical milestone for this age and reflects developing motor skills. Walks with support: Walking with support usually begins around 9 to 12 months of age, much later than 4 months. Rolls from back to tummy: Rolling from back to tummy typically occurs a bit later, often around 5 to 6 months. At 4 months, rolling from tummy to back is the more expected milestone.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following are physical changes that occur in middle adulthood? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,C,E,F
Rationale: A. Increased subcutaneous fat: Middle adulthood often sees an increase in fat deposits, particularly around the abdomen, due to changes in metabolism and hormonal shifts. B. Increased skin turgor and moisture: Incorrect. Aging typically leads to decreased skin turgor and moisture, causing the skin to become drier and less elastic. C. Decreased bone density: Bone density generally decreases due to reduced bone remodeling, increasing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis. D. The skin is more elastic: Incorrect. Skin elasticity usually decreases with age, resulting in wrinkles and sagging. E. Muscle mass gradually decreases: Muscle mass tends to decline with age, a condition known as sarcopenia, leading to reduced strength and physical capability. F. Decreased auditory acuity: Hearing loss, particularly high-frequency hearing loss, is common as people age due to changes in the inner ear and other auditory structures.
