Extract:
A nurse is planning postoperative care for an adolescent following scoliosis repair with spinal instrumentation.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ambulating at 12 hours is too soon. Logrolling every 2 hours maintains spinal alignment, preventing complications. A 30° angle risks strain. Early sips risk aspiration; patients are typically NPO longer.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a group of toddlers receiving digoxin therapy.
Question 2 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 providing teaching to the parent of a 10-month-old infant who is having difficulty eating. The parent is feeding their infant goat milk.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Formula meets infant nutritional needs safely. Soy milk lacks adequate nutrients for infants. Reinitiating breastfeeding may not be feasible. Warming goat milk doesn't address its nutritional deficiencies.
Extract:
A nurse is providing peritoneal dialysis to a child and observes there is minimal dialysate outflow at the end of the outflow time.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Longer dwell time doesn't aid outflow. Position changes use gravity to improve drainage. Fluid intake doesn't affect outflow. Bruits are for vascular access, not peritoneal catheters.
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.
