Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the nutritional needs of preschoolers with a group of parents. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend as a source of complete protein?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Eggs provide all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein ideal for preschoolers. Beans and peanut butter are incomplete, needing pairing, and broccoli lacks significant protein.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child and suspects the child has experienced physical maltreatment. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reassuring the child it's not their fault reduces guilt and builds trust. Other statements may imply blame, judgment, or break mandatory reporting ethics.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical records of a group of clients. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to local authorities?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Spiral fractures in non-ambulatory infants suggest abuse, requiring mandatory reporting. Sibling rivalry, incontinence, and bedbugs don't mandate reporting.
Question 4 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.
