Question 1 of 5

A pediatric nurse in an ambulatory care clinic is admitting a neonate for the 2-week office visit. Which comment by the mother should alert the nurse to suspect colic?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Pulling legs up and crying after feedings suggests colic. Jaundice, quietness, or brief alertness are not indicative of colic.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse has provided home-care instructions to a client who is taking lithium carbonate. Which client statement indicates that the client understands the prescribed regimen?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Lithium is a mood stabilizer used to treat bipolar disorder. It replaces sodium ions in the cells and induces the excretion of sodium and potassium from the body. Client teaching includes the maintenance of sodium intake in the daily diet and increased fluid intake (at least 1 to 1½ L per day) during maintenance therapy. Lithium is stored at room temperature and protected from light and moisture.

Question 3 of 5

A pediatric nurse in an ambulatory care clinic is admitting a neonate for the 2-week office visit. Which comment by the mother should alert the nurse to suspect colic?

Question 4 of 5

The nurse has given the client with a nephrostomy tube instructions to follow after hospital discharge to prevent complications. The nurse determines that the client understands the instructions if the client verbalizes the need to drink how many glasses of water per day?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The client with a nephrostomy tube needs to have adequate fluid intake to dilute urinary particles that could cause calculus and provide good mechanical flushing of the kidney and the tube. The nurse encourages the client to take in 2000mL of fluid per day, which is roughly equivalent to 6 to 8 glasses of water. One to three glasses of water is an inadequate amount. Amounts over 10 glasses of water could distend the renal pelvis.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is teaching a new mother about postpartum fatigue (PPF). Which information would the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B,D

Rationale: Fatigue improves over 6 weeks, and side-lying breastfeeding conserves energy. Cesarean births don't inherently increase PPF, and fatigue may worsen depression.
