ATI LPN Pediatrics Care of Newborn Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a school-age child who is undergoing testing for acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). The nurse should inform the parent that the child will undergo which of the following tests to confirm the diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bone marrow biopsy is the definitive test to confirm ALL by examining marrow for abnormal cells. Spinal fluid analysis and CBC may support diagnosis but are not confirmatory. Bleeding time assesses platelet function, not leukemia.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a child who has nephrotic syndrome and a prescription for corticosteroids. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A low-sodium diet manages fluid retention in nephrotic syndrome. Increased fluids worsen edema, urine ketones are irrelevant, and pancreatic enzymes are not indicated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a hospitalized toddler who has congenital heart disease. The parent calls the nurse to the room to ask for fresh linens and states, 'My child never wets the bed at home. I am not sure why this is happening now.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make to the parent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Regression like bedwetting is common during hospitalization stress and is typically temporary. Other responses either dismiss concerns or unnecessarily escalate the issue.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a preschooler who has amblyopia. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Patching the unaffected eye strengthens the affected eye in amblyopia. Antibiotics, irrigation, or warm packs are not treatments for this condition.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a preschooler who has recently started to stutter. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoiding sentence completion reduces pressure and supports fluency. Critiquing, looking away, or suggesting deep breaths may increase anxiety and worsen stuttering.
