Question 1 of 5
Which type of play is most typical of the toddler stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Parallel play: Parallel play is typical of toddlers, where they play alongside each other but do not interact or play directly with each other. This is a key stage in social development where they start to notice peers but prefer independent activities. Cooperative play: Cooperative play involves children playing together with a common goal or activity. This type of play is more typical of older preschoolers and school-age children. Solitary play: Solitary play is common in infants and very young toddlers where they play alone and are not engaged with others. By the toddler stage, children often progress to parallel play. Associative play: Associative play involves children interacting and playing together, but not with a structured goal or organization. This typically develops after parallel play, around the preschool age.

Question 3 of 5
The adult child of an older adult calls the nurse practitioner to report that the parent is becoming very confused after dark. What is this type of confusion named?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cognitive dysfunction: This is a broad term that includes various types of cognitive impairment. Alzheimer's disease: This is a specific type of dementia, but it doesn't specifically describe the timing of confusion. Sundowning syndrome: This term describes increased confusion and agitation in the late afternoon and evening. It's commonly seen in individuals with dementia. Night-time confusion: This is a general term and doesn't specifically relate to the characteristic pattern of sundowning.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about Piaget's stages of cognitive development. The nurse should instruct that object permanence develops during which of the following stages?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Concrete operational: This stage (7 to 11 years) is characterized by logical thinking about concrete events. Sensorimotor: This stage (birth to about 2 years) is when infants learn about the world through their senses and actions. Object permanence-the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched-develops in this stage. Formal operational: This stage (12 years and up) involves abstract and moral reasoning. Preoperational: This stage (2 to 7 years) is when children begin to engage in symbolic play and learn to manipulate symbols, but they don't yet understand concrete logic.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is conducting an assessment of a client that has been admitted to a medical unit in the hospital for treatment of pneumonia. Which action will the nurse take when conducting the respiratory assessment of this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Document 'impaired oxygenation' on the nursing care plan: While this may be appropriate based on assessment findings, it's premature to document without conducting a thorough assessment first. Auscultate the chest for breath sounds: This is a critical component of assessing respiratory function, especially in a client with pneumonia, to identify abnormal breath sounds such as crackles or diminished breath sounds. Collaborate with the client to form goals: Goal setting typically comes after assessment data is collected and analyzed. Apply supplemental oxygen by face mask as needed: This action should be based on assessment findings indicating the need for oxygen therapy, not assumed without assessment.
