A nurse is teaching a newly hired nurse about motor skill development of school-age clients who are 6 to 12 years old.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly hired nurse about motor skill development of school-age clients who are 6 to 12 years old. Which of the following statements by the newly hired nurse demonstrates effective teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because children at age 6 are typically able to engage in motor activities that require balance, such as jumping rope. This statement demonstrates effective teaching as it aligns with the expected motor skill development of school-age children. By age 6, children have usually developed the coordination and balance needed to perform activities like jumping rope.
Choice A is incorrect because dressing and grooming skills may vary among children and are not universally mastered by age 6.
Choice B is incorrect because counting backwards from 20 to 1 by age 7 is more related to cognitive development rather than motor skill development.
Choice D is incorrect as the use of tools like screwdrivers and hammers typically require more advanced motor skills and coordination that are not commonly mastered by age 6.

A nurse is assessing a toddler who has heart failure.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a toddler who has heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Orthopnea. In heart failure, fluid accumulates in the lungs, causing difficulty breathing when lying flat. Orthopnea is a classic symptom where the toddler feels relief when sitting up or standing. Bradycardia (
A) is not typically seen in heart failure but rather in advanced cases. Weight loss (
B) is unlikely as heart failure often leads to fluid retention and weight gain. Increased urine output (
D) is not expected as heart failure can lead to decreased renal perfusion and oliguria.

A nurse is advising a 15-year-old boy on managing acne during puberty.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is advising a 15-year-old boy on managing acne during puberty. Which of the following recommendations is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice a day. This recommendation is appropriate because it helps keep the skin clean and reduces excess oil that can contribute to acne. Gentle cleansing twice a day helps prevent clogged pores and reduces the likelihood of acne flare-ups.
Choice A is incorrect because not all oily foods cause acne; it's more about overall diet and hygiene.
Choice B is incorrect as popping pimples can lead to scarring and worsen acne.
Choice C is incorrect because strong astringents can irritate and overly dry out the skin, leading to more skin issues.
In summary, washing the face with a gentle cleanser twice a day is the best recommendation as it promotes good skin hygiene without causing harm or irritation.
Extract:
A nurse is teaching parents about safety issues to prevent injuries in school-age children.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching parents about safety issues to prevent injuries in school-age children. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates that they require additional teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Transitioning a child into a booster seat does not automatically mean it is safe for them to ride in the front seat. Children should remain in the back seat until at least age 13. This is because the force of a deploying airbag can injure children if they are sitting too close.
Choice A is correct as it follows proper car safety guidelines.
Choice C is also correct as wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle is essential to prevent head injuries.
Choice D is correct as teaching a child road safety rules is crucial.
Choices E, F, and G are not provided but would likely be incorrect as they were not mentioned in the question stem.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a pre-school age child who has epiglottitis and presents with a high fever, drooling, and a muffled voice.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a pre-school age child who has epiglottitis and presents with a high fever, drooling, and a muffled voice. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Monitor oxygen saturation. In a child with epiglottitis, the priority is to monitor oxygen saturation as respiratory distress can rapidly escalate. High fever, drooling, and muffled voice indicate compromised airway, necessitating continuous monitoring of oxygen levels to detect any signs of respiratory distress promptly. Using a tongue depressor (choice
A) can trigger laryngospasm and worsen the obstruction. Initiating airborne precautions (choice
B) is not necessary for epiglottitis, as it is not transmitted through the air. Obtaining a throat culture (choice
D) is important but not the immediate priority in a child with potential airway compromise.
