Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the administration of an otic medication with the parent of a 2-year-old toddler. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Allowing the otic medication to reach room temperature before administration prevents discomfort like dizziness or nausea from cold drops. For a 2-year-old, the ear should be pulled downward and back, not upward, and the child should lie with the affected ear up after administration, not down.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who is experiencing a tonic-clonic seizure. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Padding under the head prevents injury during a seizure. Restraining, magnesium, or tongue blades risk harm or are inappropriate.
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 lactose intolerance. Yogurt flavor doesn't reduce lactose, juice is a good calcium source, and increasing lactose causes symptoms.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a child who has head lice. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Boiling combs and brushes for 10 minutes kills lice and nits effectively. Petroleum jelly, short sealing, or spraying carpets are inadequate.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a 2-month-old infant who has gastroesophageal reflux. The parents are feeding the infant formula. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the infant at a 30-degree angle after feedings uses gravity to reduce reflux. Bedtime feeding, infrequent feedings, and soy formula without allergy indication worsen or don't address reflux.
