Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the purpose of the HbA1c test with an adolescent who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements by the adolescent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: HbA1c measures average glucose over 2-3 months, reflecting control. It doesn't assess oxygen, ketones, or total hemoglobin.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 15-month-old toddler. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Drinking independently aligns with 15-month milestones. Turning pages, overhead throwing, and self-naming develop later or earlier.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform a heel stick using a spring-loaded automatic puncture device on a 1-week-old infant. In which of the following locations should the nurse puncture the infant's foot?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The lateral heel is capillary-rich and safe, minimizing pain and ensuring blood flow. Other sites risk trauma or insufficient yield.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a 4-year-old client admitted to the pediatric unit for respiratory distress. Which of the following findings should be addressed immediately?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stridor during inspiration indicates an upper airway obstruction, requiring immediate attention to prevent severe hypoxia or respiratory failure. A wet, productive cough suggests a lower respiratory issue but is less urgent. A fever of 38.5°C (101.3°F) is concerning but not immediately life-threatening. Irritability is nonspecific and less critical than stridor.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has had diarrhea for 3 days. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stool culture identifies the cause for targeted treatment. Apple juice worsens diarrhea, NPO risks dehydration, and weekly weighing misses acute changes.
