ATI Nur 307 Pediatrics Final Exam Questions
Extract:
A nurse is planning care for a 5-month-old infant who is scheduled for a lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Holding the infant's chin to his chest and knees to his abdomen during the procedure helps to maintain a flexed position, which can facilitate the procedure and reduce discomfort. This position also helps to stabilize the infant and prevent sudden movements that could interfere with the procedure.
A: Keeping the infant NPO for 6 hours prior to the procedure may not be necessary unless specifically indicated by the healthcare provider.
C: Applying a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine cream topically may provide local anesthesia but is not directly related to the positioning during the procedure.
D: Placing the infant in an infant seat for 2 hours following the procedure is not necessary and may not be the best position for comfort or safety post-procedure.
In summary, option B is correct as it directly assists in the procedure, while the other options are either unnecessary or not relevant to the procedure itself.
