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 assisting with the care of an infant who is postoperative following surgical repair of a cleft lip and palate. Which of the following action should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Daily weighing monitors fluid status post-surgery. Betadine risks irritation, prone positioning may obstruct airways, and suctioning could harm the surgical site.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a school-age child who is undergoing testing for acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). The nurse should inform the parent that the child will undergo which of the following tests to confirm the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bone marrow biopsy is the definitive test to confirm ALL by examining marrow for abnormal cells. Spinal fluid analysis and CBC may support diagnosis but are not confirmatory. Bleeding time assesses platelet function, not leukemia.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 1-month-old infant who has colic. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A pacifier soothes colicky infants. Water risks intoxication, heating pads may burn, and delayed response increases distress in young infants.
