Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a 1-year-old infant about administering a liquid oral medication. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Placing medication along the tongue's side aids swallowing and prevents gagging, ensuring safe administration. Back positioning risks aspiration, mixing with formula risks incomplete dosing, and ice is impractical.
Question 2 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: A
Rationale: Tachycardia compensates for reduced cardiac output in heart failure, a common finding. Hypertension, increased urine, and bounding pulses are not typical.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about food choices with a parent of a child who has celiac disease. Which of the following responses by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rice is a gluten-free grain, making rice pudding a safe choice for a child with celiac disease, which requires avoiding gluten found in wheat, rye, and barley. The other options contain gluten and are unsuitable.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data on a 1-month-old infant during a well-child visit. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A respiratory rate of 64/min is normal for a 1-month-old (30-60 breaths/min). Rooting reflex should be present, head lag is expected but not primary, and yellow sclera suggests jaundice needing evaluation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a toddler who has conjunctivitis. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
