ATI Nursing Care for Children Proctored
Exam 2024, With Complete Solution.
A nurse is providing teaching about foods high in fiber to the guardian of a child who has
chronic constipation. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?
A. 1/2 cup whole milk
B. 1/2 cup cooked pinto beans
C. 1 cup green leaf lettuce
D. 1 cup apple juice
Correct Answer: B.
1/2 cup cooked pinto beans
The nurse should recommend foods high in fiber for a child who has chronic constipation. A half
cup of cooked pinto beans contains approximately 5 g of fiber. Therefore, the nurse should
instruct the guardian to include this food in the child's diet.
Incorrect Answers: A. A half cup of whole milk contains no fiber.
C. One cup of green leaf lettuce contains no fiber.
D. One cup of apple juice contains no fiber.
A nurse in an emergency department is assisting with the care of a 4-year-old child who
ingested toilet bowl cleaner. The child has hemoptysis, is crying, and states, "It burns."
Which of the following actions should the nurse perform? (Select all that apply.)
A. Identify how much cleaner was in the bottle
B. Administer activated charcoal
C. Perform immediate gastric lavage
D. Insert an IV for morphine administration
E. Apply a pulse oximeter
Correct Answers: A.
Identify how much cleaner was in the bottle
D.
Insert an IV for morphine administration
E.
Apply a pulse oximeter
The nurse should ask the parent or guardian about the size of the container, its contents prior to
ingestion, and its contents remaining following ingestion. This information provides an estimate
of the amount of cleaner the child ingested and can assist the provider in directing treatment. A
child who ingests a corrosive agent is likely to have intense pain due to burns in the
gastrointestinal system. The nurse should administer morphine as prescribed via IV to provide
pain relief. The child is also at risk for airway occlusion due to edema following ingestion of a
, corrosive agent. Monitoring the child's oxygen saturation level will help the nurse recognize if
the child's airway is becoming obscured.
Incorrect Answers: B. Activated charcoal is contraindicated for the treatment of poisoning with
a corrosive agent because these substances can burn tissue, which the charcoal could then
infiltrate.
C. Gastric lavage is contraindicated for the treatment of poisoning with a corrosive agent because
this could re-expose the upper gastrointestinal system to the corrosive substance, which can
result in further injury.
A nurse is assessing the visual acuity of a group of school-aged children. Which of the
following actions should the nurse take?
A. Position each child with their heels at a line that is 6 m (20 ft) away from the Snellen
chart
B. Allow each child to wear his or her glasses during the exam
C. Start the screening by covering each child's right eye
D. Begin by having each child read the largest line of letters at the top of the Snellen chart
Correct Answer: B.
Allow each child to wear his or her glasses during the exam
The nurse should allow each child to wear his or her glasses during a screening for visual acuity.
Incorrect Answers:A. The nurse should position each child so that the heels are at a line that is
3 m (10 ft) away from the Snellen chart.
C. The nurse should start the screening by testing each child's right eye first.
D. The nurse should start the screening by having each child read the 20/20 line of letters on the
chart. If they are unable to do so, the nurse should move up to the next larger line of letters on
the chart until the child can read at least 4 out of 6 letters correctly.
A nurse in the emergency department is caring for a 12-year-old child who has ingested
bleach. Which of the following statements by the nurse indicates an understanding of this
ingestion?
A. "The absence of oral burns excludes the possibility of esophageal burns."
B. "Treatment focuses on neutralization of the chemical."
C. "Injury by a corrosive liquid is more extensive than by a corrosive solid."
D. "Immediate administration of activated charcoal is warranted."
Correct Answer: C.
"Injury by a corrosive liquid is more extensive than by a corrosive solid."
The coating action of liquids permits larger areas of contact with tissues and results in more
extensive injury.
Incorrect Answers:A. The absence of oral or pharyngeal burns does not eliminate the
possibility of esophageal burns. The existence and extent of burns depend on the substance and
the length of time it has been in contact with tissues. A burn may be present in the esophagus but
not in the mouth.
