Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a preschooler who has a hip fracture and is in a spica cast. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A hot spot on the cast may indicate localized infection, as it suggests warmth from underlying inflammation or infection, which requires prompt assessment. Edema, itching, and pain are common with casts but not specific to infection unless accompanied by other signs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a newly admitted adolescent client. Which of the following information should the nurse consider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Puberty timing impacts self-esteem due to social and physical comparisons, a key consideration in adolescent care. Growth accelerates, decisions involve adolescents, and health interest is often high.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an infant who has respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rhinorrhea, or a runny nose, is a common early symptom of RSV, which often starts with cold-like symptoms before progressing to respiratory distress. Barrel chest and clubbing are associated with chronic conditions, not acute RSV, and vesicles are linked to other infections like chickenpox.
