Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a school-age child who has mild persistent asthma and has a new prescription for therapy with montelukast. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Montelukast prevents bronchospasms by reducing airway inflammation. It is not a corticosteroid, not for acute attacks, and is typically taken in the evening.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a preschooler who has moderate partial-thickness burns on both lower extremities. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Pain medication 30-45 minutes before therapy manages pain during dressing changes or therapy. Clean technique is standard but not specific to pain, low-calorie snacks are irrelevant, and a child setting their own schedule is unsafe.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 13-month-old toddler who has a prescription for a urinary catheter. Which of the following urinary catheters should the nurse use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 5 French catheter is appropriate for a toddler to minimize urethral trauma. Larger sizes (10, 12, 14 French) risk discomfort or injury.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to obtain a blood pressure reading from a school-age child. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
