Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a school-age child who has enuresis. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

A. You should limit the amount of fluid your child drinks an hour before bedtime. B. You should maintain a diary to record dry nights. C. You should have your child urinate every hour while awake. D. You should decrease the amount of soluble fiber in your child's diet.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A diary tracks progress in enuresis management. Fluid limits help but aren't comprehensive, frequent urination isn't practical, and fiber isn't related.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is preparing to obtain the length and weight of a 6-month-old infant during a well-child visit. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take? (Select all that apply)

A. Place a stadiometer on the top of the infant's head to measure their length B. Measure the infant's length from the crown of the head to C. Cover the scale with a clean sheet of paper. D. Obtain the infant's weight with the diaper on E. Ensure the scale is balanced before weighing

Correct Answer: B,E

Rationale: Measuring crown to heel and balancing the scale ensure accurate length and weight. Stadiometers are for standing, diapers add weight, and paper isn't needed.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer liquid ibuprofen to a school-age child. The prescription reads 200 mg every 8 hr. The amount available is 100 mg/5 mL. How many mL of ibuprofen should the nurse administer over a 24-hr period? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: 200 mg/100 mg per 5 mL = 10 mL per dose; 3 doses in 24 hr = 30 mL total.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is collecting growth and development data from a 5-year-old child during a well-child visit. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates the child's cognitive and language skills require further investigation?

A. My child speaks 3 to 4 word sentences. B. My child can count to 10. C. My child can identify simple rhythms. D. My child knows the names of 5 colors.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: At 5, children should use 5-6 word sentences; 3-4 words suggest a language delay needing evaluation. Other skills are age-appropriate.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching about home safety with the parent of a 2-month-old infant. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Secure the infant in a high chair for feeding. B. Place a small pillow under the infant's head for sleeping. C. Use a crib with side rails that are in a fixed, raised position. D. Warm formula on the low setting in a microwave.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Fixed, raised crib rails ensure safety. High chairs, pillows, and microwaving are unsafe for a 2-month-old due to lack of control, suffocation risk, and uneven heating.
