ATI LPN Pediatrics Care of Newborn Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about introducing solid foods with the parents of a 6-month old infant who is bottle-fed. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Introducing one food every 5-7 days helps identify allergies. Fresh foods are preferred, initial amounts are smaller, and cereal in bottles risks choking.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a preschooler who has diabetes mellitus and is pale, diaphoretic, and irritable. The child's blood glucose level is 52 mg/dL. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Administering sugar treats hypoglycemia quickly in a conscious child. Peanut butter is slow-acting, rechecking delays treatment, and documentation follows intervention.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data about sleep patterns from the parent of a preschooler during a well-child visit. The parent states, 'My child has nightmares three to four times each week. I hope they grow out of this soon.' Which of the following findings indicates to the nurse that the child is experiencing sleep terrors rather than nightmares?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sleep terrors involve partial arousal with no memory and quick return to sleep. Nightmares involve recall, prolonged waking, panic, and easier comforting.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has oral candidiasis and a new prescription for clotrimazole troche. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dissolving the troche slowly maximizes effectiveness. Refrigeration isn't needed, crushing alters delivery, and white patches indicate ongoing infection, not a reason to stop.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a toddler who has a respiratory illness and a temperature of 39.3° C (102.7° F). Which of the following actions should the nurse take to reduce the toddler's temperature?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Removing extra clothing allows heat loss safely. Tepid baths risk shivering, aspirin risks Reye's syndrome, and cooling blankets are for severe cases.
