Question 1 of 5
As part of a routine health screening, the nurse notes the play of a 2-year-old child. Which of the following is an example of age-appropriate play at this age?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'says 'Mine!' when playing with toys.' At the age of 2, children are in the stage of parallel play and are possessive of their belongings, hence saying 'Mine!' is an age-appropriate behavior. Building towers with blocks (choice
A) involves more advanced motor skills and cognitive abilities, which are beyond what most 2-year-olds can do. Trying to color within the lines (choice
B) requires fine motor skills that are typically not developed at age 2. Jumping rope (choice
D) involves coordination and balance that are beyond the capabilities of a 2-year-old child.
Question 2 of 5
A 35-year-old Latin-American client wishes to lose weight to reduce her chances of developing heart disease and diabetes. The client states, "I do not know how to make my diet work with the kind of foods that my family eats."? What should the nurse do first to help the client determine a suitable diet for disease prevention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct first step is to assess the client's current diet by asking her to provide a list of the types of foods she eats. This assessment will help the nurse determine a personalized dietary plan based on the guidelines from the American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association. Providing the client with copies of the guidelines is important but not the initial action. A high-protein diet plan may not be suitable for all clients aiming to prevent heart disease and diabetes. While providing information on risk factors is important, it is not the primary step in assisting the client with determining a suitable diet for disease prevention.
Question 3 of 5
Regarding maternal and infant mortality and morbidity, a concern is that:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is that a segment of the population is not receiving prenatal care. This is a significant concern as lack of access to prenatal care can lead to adverse outcomes for both the mother and the infant.
Choice B is incorrect as it generalizes families as unconcerned, which may not be the case for all families.
Choice C is also incorrect as there is no evidence or indication in the prompt to suggest an increase in the shortage of personnel.
Choice D is not directly related to the concern mentioned in the prompt, which specifically focuses on the lack of prenatal care.
Question 4 of 5
What type of immunity do vaccines provide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vaccines provide active immunity by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against specific pathogens.
Choice B, passive immunity, is acquired from ready-made antibodies, not through vaccination.
Choice C, transplacental immunity, is a form of passive immunity transferred from mother to infant, not acquired through vaccines.
Therefore, the correct answer is active immunity.
Question 5 of 5
When transferring a client with hemiparesis from a bed to a wheelchair, which safety measure should be implemented?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When transferring a client with hemiparesis from a bed to a wheelchair, it is crucial to ensure their safety. The correct safety measure is to move the wheelchair close to the client's bed and have the client stand and pivot on their unaffected extremity to the wheelchair. This method provides support with the unaffected limb, reducing the risk of falls or injuries.
Choice A is incorrect as it suggests walking the client, which may not be safe or feasible.
Choice C is incorrect because pivoting on the affected extremity can increase the risk of injury.
Choice D is incorrect as it does not consider the client's limitations and safety needs, as it involves pushing their body which may not be possible with hemiparesis.
