Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a group of parents about immunizations. Which of the following statements by a parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. My child needs to be given her DTaP and polio immunizations at separate visits. B. My child will receive her first dose of rotavirus immunization at 6 months of age. C. My child needs to receive the HPV immunization before she starts school. D. My child will receive the varicella immunization after 12 months of age.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Varicella is given at 12-15 months, correct per schedule. DTaP and polio can be combined, rotavirus starts at 2 months, and HPV is for 11-12 years.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse in an urgent care clinic is contributing to the plan of care for a group of clients. The nurse should identify that which of the following clients will require parental consent prior to receiving treatment?

A. A 15-year-old client who requests testing for an STI B. A 13-year-old client who requests contraception advice C. A 14-year-old client who requires a biopsy of a mole D. A 16-year-old client who requires prenatal care for pregnancy

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A biopsy typically requires parental consent for a 14-year-old, unlike STI testing, contraception, or prenatal care, which minors can often access independently.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a 24-month-old child. Which of the following developmental characteristics should the nurse consider when planning care for the child?

A. Asks many questions B. Shares toys with others C. Has an imaginary playmate D. Demonstrates parallel play

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Parallel play is typical at 24 months, where toddlers play beside but not with others. Questioning, sharing, and imaginary friends develop later.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is caring for an infant who has heart failure and is formula-fed. Which of the following nursing interventions is appropriate to meet the infant's nutritional needs?

A. Use a firm nipple on the bottle B. Thicken the formula with a tsp of rice cereal per ounce C. Dilute the formula with water to half strength D. Feed the infant at the first sign of hunger

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Feeding at the first hunger sign allows small, frequent meals, reducing heart workload. Firm nipples, thickening, or diluting worsen fatigue or nutrition.

A. Apply elbow immobilizers to both arms. B. Offer a pacifier with glucose syrup. C. Gently cleanse the surgical site with sterile gauze. D. Place the infant in a supine position.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Elbow immobilizers prevent hand-to-mouth contact, protecting the surgical site. Pacifiers, cleansing, or supine positioning risk healing disruption.
