Extract:
Question 1 of 4
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: A
Rationale: Tachycardia compensates for reduced cardiac output in heart failure, a common finding. Hypertension, increased urine, and bounding pulses are not typical.
Question 2 of 4
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a preschooler who reports painful urination. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a possible manifestation of a urinary tract infection?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fever (increased temperature) is a common UTI sign due to immune response. Edema, moist membranes, and twitching are unrelated or indicate hydration/neurological issues.
Question 3 of 4
A nurse is monitoring a 6-month-old infant 20 min after administering a hepatitis B immunization. Which of the following findings is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hives may signal anaphylaxis, a priority due to its life-threatening potential. Redness, mild fever, and crying are common but less urgent post-immunization reactions.
Question 4 of 4
A nurse is collecting data from a school-age child who has erythema infectiosum (fifth disease). The nurse should expect the rash to appear on which area of the child's body first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fifth disease typically starts with a 'slapped cheek' rash on the face before spreading elsewhere, a characteristic progression of this viral infection.
Question 5 of 4
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: A
Rationale: The lateral heel is safest for a heel stick, minimizing nerve and vessel damage compared to the central heel or medial aspect, which risk complications.
