Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of an infant who has a new diagnosis of heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse include as an expected manifestation of this disease?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tachycardia compensates for reduced cardiac output in heart failure. Pulses weaken, BP drops, and urine output decreases.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for an infant who has heart failure. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Feedings every 3 hours balance nutrition and cardiac load. Bolus risks overload, lateral positioning hinders breathing, and diluted formula reduces nutrients.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the collection of a bone marrow specimen from a preschooler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Rationale: Prone position exposes the iliac crest, the standard site for bone marrow collection in children.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a child via a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
