ATI N400 Pediatrics Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Four children: A 4-year-old with asthma, a 7-year-old with diabetes insipidus, a 1-year-old toddler, a 10-year-old with sickle cell anemia.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following children should the nurse assess first? (Select All that Apply.)
Correct Answer: C,D
Rationale: The nurse should assess the 1-year-old toddler with a temperature of 39°C (102.2°F) first because fever in young children can indicate a serious underlying infection. Next, the nurse should assess the 10-year-old child with Sickle cell anemia reporting severe chest pain, as this could be a symptom of a vaso-occlusive crisis which requires immediate intervention.
Incorrect choices:
A: PCO2 of 37 mm Hg in a 4-year-old with asthma may indicate respiratory distress but is not immediately life-threatening.
B: Urine specific gravity of 1.016 in a 7-year-old with diabetes insipidus is concerning but not as urgent as fever or severe chest pain.
Summary: The correct answers prioritize assessment based on the urgency of the conditions presented, with fever in a young child and severe chest pain taking precedence.
