Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a 15-month-old toddler about nutritional guidelines. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A 15-month-old toddler needs about 500 milligrams of calcium per day to support bone growth and development. Excessive juice does not cause constipation but can reduce appetite for other foods.
Toddlers need approximately 1,000 to 1,300 calories per day, so 1,500-1,800 calories is excessive. There is no specific age-related sudden appetite increase at 18 months.
Question 2 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.
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 about introducing solid foods with the parents of a 6-month old infant who is bottle-fed. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Introducing one food every 5-7 days helps identify allergies. Fresh foods are preferred, initial amounts are smaller, and cereal in bottles risks choking.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a preschooler immediately following the application of a long-leg plaster cast due to a fracture. Which of the following actions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring capillary refill is critical to assess circulation and detect complications like compartment syndrome post-cast application. Supporting the cast, checking skin, and instructing the child are important but secondary to ensuring circulation.
