Q1: A nurse is caring for a 7-year-old child in the urgent care with complaints of blurred vision. The nurse should complete which of the following as the priority action?
Answer Choices:
👁️ Assessing visual acuity is the priority to determine the extent and severity of the blurred vision and to guide further care.
👁️ Administering saline drops or cleansing the eyes may be needed later but only after assessing vision.
👁️ Obtaining a history is important but should follow the initial assessment of vision.
Q2: A nurse is caring for a 6-week-old infant diagnosed with pyloric stenosis. Which of the following clinical manifestations should the nurse expect?
Answer Choices:
🚼 Pyloric stenosis causes projectile vomiting, leading to weight loss and signs of dehydration if untreated.
🚼 The infant remains hungry but cannot keep food down, resulting in poor weight gain or weight loss.
🚼 Distended neck veins are unrelated.
🚼 Red currant jelly stools are typical of intussusception, not pyloric stenosis.
🚼 Vomiting in pyloric stenosis is persistent and projectile, not occasional.
Q3: A nurse is caring for a female newborn with an apparent anorectal malformation. The nurse should assess the infant for which of the following other potential finding?
Answer Choices:
🩺 In anorectal malformations, there may be abnormal connections (fistulas) between the rectum and the vagina or urethra, causing meconium to leak through these openings.
🩺 This is a key sign to assess in female newborns.
🩺 A soft, non-tender abdomen and normal sucking reflex are unrelated.
🩺 The perineum usually appears abnormal or missing the normal anal opening in anorectal malformations.
Q4: A nurse is caring for a 3-year-old child with sudden onset of fever, crying and rubbing of the left ear. The nurse should suspect that the child has what type of problem?
Answer Choices:
👂 Sudden fever, ear pain, and ear rubbing are classic signs of otitis media, an infection of the middle ear common in young children.
👂 Otitis externa involves the outer ear and usually causes ear canal pain, not deep ear pain with fever.
👂 Viral sore throat and sinus infection may cause discomfort but are less likely to cause localized ear pain and ear rubbing.
Q5: A nurse is reinforcing teaching about nutritional considerations with the parent of a toddler. The nurse should recognize that which statement made by the parent indicates correct information about nutrition?
Answer Choices:
🍎 Offering a variety of foods from different food groups ensures toddlers receive essential nutrients for growth and development.
🍎 Balanced nutrition supports healthy eating habits.
🍎 Giving fruit juice instead of water can lead to excess sugar intake and dental issues.
🍎 Allowing unlimited sweets and snacks promotes poor nutrition and unhealthy eating habits.
🍎 Dairy products are important sources of calcium and vitamin D, crucial for toddlers’ bone development.
