Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a 2-month-old infant who has gastroesophageal reflux. The parents are feeding the infant formula. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the infant at a 30-degree angle after feedings uses gravity to reduce reflux. Bedtime feeding, infrequent feedings, and soy formula without allergy indication worsen or don't address reflux.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the nutritional needs of preschoolers with a group of parents. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend as a source of complete protein?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Eggs provide all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein ideal for preschoolers. Beans and peanut butter are incomplete, needing pairing, and broccoli lacks significant protein.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an enteral feeding to a preschooler who has a nasogastric tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Elevating the bed to 45 degrees prevents aspiration and aids digestion. Cold formula causes discomfort, 3 mL/min is too slow, and discarding residuals risks electrolyte loss unless excessive.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a family practice clinic is collecting data from a school-age child. Which of the following behavioral findings should the nurse identify as a possible indication of sexual abuse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Withdrawn behavior is a common sign of sexual abuse, reflecting fear or shame. Destructive, manipulative, or perfectionistic behaviors may indicate other issues but aren't primary abuse indicators.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a toddler about viral conjunctivitis. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
