Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a child who has diabetes mellitus. The parent asks the nurse how to minimize the child's pain when monitoring blood glucose levels. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Warm water increases blood flow, reducing pain during glucose monitoring. Index finger use, central punctures, or table pressure do not specifically minimize discomfort.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to a plan of care for a 24-month-old toddler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ensuring a nap supports rest and development. Buttoning shirts, yes/no questions, and sharing toys are beneficial but not the priority over rest for a toddler's well-being.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has a terminal illness. Which of the following statements should the nurse make to the parent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Scheduled pain medication ensures comfort. Limiting sibling visits, dictating parental presence, or suggesting home death disregard family preferences and needs.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a preschooler who has diabetes mellitus and is pale, diaphoretic, and irritable. The child's blood glucose level is 52 mg/dL. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Administering sugar treats hypoglycemia quickly in a conscious child. Peanut butter is slow-acting, rechecking delays treatment, and documentation follows intervention.
