Question 1 of 5
Which of the following physical findings indicates that an 11-12-month-old child is at risk for developmental dysplasia of the hip?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse might be concerned about developmental dysplasia of the hip if an 11-12-month-old child doesn't pull to a standing position. An infant who does not walk by 15 months of age should be evaluated. Children should start walking between 11-15 months of age. Trendelenberg sign is related to weakness of the gluteus medius muscle, not hip dysplasia. Ortolani sign is used to identify congenital subluxation or dislocation of the hip in infants.

Question 5 of 5
An LPN works on an adult medical/surgical unit and has been pulled to work on the burn unit, which cares for clients of all ages. What should he do?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: While the LPN may specialize in a certain type of nursing or feel more comfortable caring for a specific client population, he should be able to use his skill set to safely and independently care for other populations as well. However, the LPN should let the charge nurse know his background before beginning his shift so he can familiarize himself with new equipment, ask questions, and identify resources.
