Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a nine-year-old client on the pediatric unit. What is the most effective way for the nurse to support this child in achieving Erikson's developmental task of industry versus inferiority?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Involving the child in care decisions and independent tasks fosters competence and industry per Erikson's theory. Resting, limiting interactions, or over-supervision hinders development.

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching the parents of a child who is to start using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) to treat asthma. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A spacer increases medication delivery to the lungs by reducing deposition in the oropharynx. Rapid inhalation is incorrect; slow, deep breaths are needed. Covering exhalation slots disrupts airflow and is not recommended.
Extract:
What is the recommended time for a child with varicella to return to school?
Question 3 of 5
After all the blisters have crusted over
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Children with varicella are contagious until blisters crust over, making this the safe time to return to school. Vaccines prevent, not treat, varicella, antivirals don't determine contagiousness, and early rash stages are highly infectious.

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who just returned from a cardiac catheterization. Which of the following nursing interventions should the nurse include in the client's plan of care? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: Post-cardiac catheterization care includes bed rest for 4-6 hours to prevent bleeding, checking peripheral pulses to monitor circulation, keeping the hip and leg extended to avoid strain on the insertion site, and frequent vital sign monitoring to detect complications. High-Fowler's position is not typically recommended as it may stress the insertion site.

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 320 mg PO every 12 hr to an infant. The amount available is amoxicillin suspension 400 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Calculation: 320 mg / (400 mg/5 mL) = 320 / 80 = 4 mL per dose, rounded to the nearest tenth.
