Rationale: Bending forward from the waist with the head and arms downward, also known as the Adams forward bend test, is the standard screening test for scoliosis.
Touching the chin to the chest and then looking up at the ceiling does not provide a view of the spine necessary for scoliosis screening. Lying prone on the examination table is not a standard position for scoliosis screening. Turning to the side and remaining in a relaxed position is not a standard position for scoliosis screening.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: While maintaining a saline-lock can be important for administering medications or fluids, it is not the priority action. The nurse's priority should be to assess the child's condition and intervene to prevent complications. A no-salt-added diet may be recommended for some children with acute glomerulonephritis to help manage fluid balance and blood pressure. However, this is not the priority action. The nurse's priority should be to assess the child's condition and intervene to prevent complications. This is the correct answer. Checking the child's weight daily is a priority action because weight changes can indicate fluid retention or loss, which can affect kidney function. Regular weight checks can help guide treatment decisions and monitor the effectiveness of interventions. Educating the parents about potential complications is important, but it is not the priority action. The nurse's priority should be to assess the child's condition and intervene to prevent complications.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Step 1 is to convert the child's weight from pounds to kilograms. This is done by dividing the weight in pounds by 2.2, so 34 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 15.45 kg.
Step 2 is to calculate the dose in mg. This is done by multiplying the weight in kg by the dosage per kg, so 15.45 kg × 35 mg/kg = 540.75 mg.
Step 3 is to convert the dose in mg to ml. This is done by dividing the dose in mg by the concentration of the medication in mg/ml, so 540.75 mg ÷ 50 mg/ml = 10.815 ml. So, the total daily dosage in ml for this child is approximately 10.82 ml, rounded to the nearest hundredth as required.

Correct Answer: A

Apple juice is not the best choice because it is acidic and can cause discomfort to the surgical site.

Diarrhea is not a typical symptom of Wilms' tumor. It is more commonly a symptom of gastrointestinal illnesses.
