Question 1 of 5

A nurse is talking privately with an adolescent who has disclosed that their facial fractures are the result of their punishment for coming home 1 hour after their curfew. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?

A. It is not your fault that this happened to you.' B. Your parent was wrong to hit you for coming home late.' C. I won't tell anyone else about this unless you say it's okay.' D. I'm guessing your other parent did not do anything to stop this from happening.'

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Reassuring it's not their fault reduces guilt, supporting emotional recovery. Judging parents, promising confidentiality (against reporting laws), or speculating risks distress.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with an adolescent client who has a new diagnosis of lactose intolerance. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. You should gradually increase lactose products in your diet.' B. You should limit your intake of calcium-fortified orange juice.' C. You should drink rice milk instead of cow's milk.' D. You should eat flavored yogurt instead of plain yogurt.'

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rice milk is lactose-free, suitable for intolerance. Increasing lactose worsens symptoms, orange juice is safe, and flavored yogurt still has lactose.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is preparing to collect data from a toddler during a well-child visit. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?

A. Allow the toddler to inspect the stethoscope. B. Perform traumatic procedures first. C. Remove the toddler's outer clothing. D. Discourage the toddler from sitting in the parent's lap.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Inspecting the stethoscope reduces fear, aiding cooperation. Traumatic procedures first, early clothing removal, or discouraging lap-sitting increase anxiety.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is caring for a preschooler who is terminally ill. Which of the following reactions to death should the nurse expect?

A. Perceives death as a punishment. B. Worries about physical body changes. C. Understands that death is permanent. D. Has feelings of isolation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Preschoolers see death as punishment due to egocentrism, not grasping permanence, body changes, or isolation.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the guardian of a school-age child who has asthma. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Obtain a pneumococcal immunization for your child. B. Use salmeterol to manage your child's acute exacerbations. C. Avoid allowing your child to participate in school sports. D. Have your child inhale deeply and quickly when using the peak flow meter.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Pneumococcal vaccine reduces infection risk in asthma. Salmeterol isn't for acute use, sports are beneficial, and peak flow needs slow inhalation.
