ATI RN Pediatrics Nursing 2023 Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a group of toddlers receiving digoxin therapy.
Question 1 of 5
For which of the following toddlers should the nurse revise the plan of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Normal digoxin levels, pulse, and potassium don't require changes. Vomiting may indicate digoxin toxicity, necessitating a care plan revision to assess and manage potential overdose.
Extract:
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a preschool-age child who has iron deficiency anemia.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ferrous sulfate treats iron deficiency anemia. Factor VII is for bleeding disorders. Soft toothbrushes are for low platelets, not anemia. Protective precautions aren't needed.
Extract:
A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen 10 mg/kg PO to a child. The child weighs 55 lb. Available is ibuprofen 100 mg/5 mL solution.
Question 3 of 5
How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 12.5
Rationale: Convert 55 lb to 24.948 kg. Calculate dose: 24.948 kg × 10 mg/kg = 249.48 mg. Convert to volume: (249.48 mg ÷ 100 mg) × 5 mL = 12.474 mL, rounded to 12.5 mL.
Extract:
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parents of a school-age child following surgery and cast application to the right forearm.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following information is the priority for the nurse to include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Restricting activities is important but not critical. Using a hair dryer can help itching but isn't priority. Monitoring for pallor or swelling indicates circulation issues or compartment syndrome, requiring immediate attention. Checking for skin irritation is secondary to circulation concerns.
Extract:
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a parent of a child who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis and a new prescription for prednisone.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prednisone increases infection risk, requiring monitoring. It causes potassium loss, so limiting potassium-rich foods is wrong. It may stunt growth, not stimulate it. Abrupt discontinuation risks adrenal issues; GI upset needs management, not stopping.
