Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting in the admission of a 9-month-old infant who has gastroenteritis with vomiting and diarrhea. Which of the following findings is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The elevated heart rate (tachycardia) at 182/min indicates increased cardiac workload, likely due to dehydration from gastroenteritis, requiring immediate attention. While skin turgor, potassium levels, and capillary refill are important, tachycardia is the priority to stabilize the infant.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 7-year-old child. Which of the following findings indicates a developmental delay?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Difficulty distinguishing right from left by age 7 suggests a developmental delay, as this milestone is typically achieved earlier. Other options reflect advanced skills not expected at this age.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has oral candidiasis and a new prescription for clotrimazole troche. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dissolving the troche slowly maximizes effectiveness. Refrigeration isn't needed, crushing alters delivery, and white patches indicate ongoing infection, not a reason to stop.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of an adolescent who has ADHD and a prescription for methylphenidate. Which of the following statements by the guardian indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using charts supports organization in ADHD. Methylphenidate may cause weight loss, changing study areas disrupts routine, and it requires regular dosing, not as-needed.
