Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing education to a group of adolescents about smoking prevention. Which approach should the nurse include to incorporate Piaget's cognitive development theory of formal operations?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Classifying health behaviors as healthy and unhealthy engages abstract thinking and categorization, aligning with Piaget's formal operations stage, which emphasizes hypothetical reasoning.
Question 2 of 5
One week after removing a tick that bit him, a student arrives at the school nurse's office with reports of flu-like symptoms. Which intervention should the school nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Observing for a rash around the tick bite site is the first intervention because a 'bull's-eye' rash is indicative of Lyme disease, a potential tick-borne illness. This guides further actions, prioritizing specific symptoms over general ones like fever, which is common to many illnesses.
Question 3 of 5
Which toy is best for a 10-year-old child with acute rheumatic fever who is on strict bedrest?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Checkers is ideal for a child on strict bedrest, as it is a low-energy, mentally stimulating game that can be played while seated or lying down.
Question 4 of 5
A clinic nurse is assessing infants and toddlers for fine and gross motor development. Which child should the nurse refer to a healthcare provider for further evaluation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A 3-year-old preferring to walk on tiptoes may indicate a neurological or musculoskeletal issue, warranting further evaluation, as this is not a typical gait for this age.
