care recognizes the family as the constant in the childs life. The family should be enabled and empowered to
work with the health care system and is expected to be part of the decision-making process. The nurse should
also support the familys cultural diversity, not reduce its effect.

a. Using information in textbooks to guide care
b. Combining knowledge with clinical experience and intuition
c. Using a professional code of ethics as a means for decision making

potential involvement.

11. Which best describes signs and symptoms as part of a nursing diagnosis?
a. Description of potential risk factors
b. Identification of actual health problems
c. Human response to state of illness or health
d. Cues and clusters derived from patient assessment
ANS: D
Signs and symptoms are the cues and clusters of defining characteristics that are derived from a patient
assessment and indicate actual health problems. The first part of the nursing diagnosis is the problem
statement, also known as the human response to the state of illness or health. The identification of actual health
problems may be part of the medical diagnosis. The nursing diagnosis is based on the human response to these
problems. The human response is therefore a component of the nursing diagnostic statement. Potential risk
factors are used to identify nursing care needs to avoid the development of an actual health problem when a
potential one exists.

12. The nurse is talking to a group of parents of school-age children at an after-school program about
childhood health problems. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching?
a. Childhood obesity is the most common nutritional problem among children.
b. Immunization rates are the same among children of different races and ethnicity.
c. Dental caries is not a problem commonly seen in children since the introduction of fluoridated
water.
d. Mental health problems are typically not seen in school-age children but may be diagnosed in
adolescents.
,ANS: A
When teaching parents of school-age children about childhood health problems, the nurse should include
information about childhood obesity because it is the most common problem among children and is associated
with type 2 diabetes. Teaching parents about ways to prevent obesity is important to include. Immunization
rates differ depending on the childs race and ethnicity; dental caries continues to be a common chronic disease
in childhood; and mental health problems are seen in children as young as school age, not just in adolescents.

13. The nurse is planning care for a hospitalized preschool-aged child. Which should the nurse plan to ensure
atraumatic care?
a. Limit explanation of procedures because the child is preschool aged.
b. Ask that all family members leave the room when performing procedures.
c. Allow the child to choose the type of juice to drink with the administration of oral medications.
d. Explain that EMLA cream cannot be used for the morning lab draw because there is not time for it
to be effective.
ANS: C
The overriding goal in providing atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child a choice of juice to
drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of control. The preschool child should be
prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of procedures would increase anxiety. The family should
be allowed to stay with the child during procedures, minimizing stress. Lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream is
a topical local anesthetic. The nurse should plan to use the prescribed cream in time for morning laboratory
draws to minimize pain.

a. The nurse is planning to read a favorite fairy tale to a patient.
b. During shift report, the nurse is criticizing parents for not visiting their child.
c. The nurse is discussing with a fellow nurse the emotional draw to a certain patient.
d. The nurse is working with a family to find ways to decrease the familys dependence on health care
providers.
ANS: B
,Criticizing parents for not visiting in shift report is nontherapeutic and shows an underinvolvement with the
parents. Reading a fairy tale is a therapeutic and age appropriate action. Discussing feelings of an emotional
draw with a fellow nurse is therapeutic and shows a willingness to understand feelings. Working with parents
to decrease dependence on health care providers is therapeutic and helps to empower the family.

15. The nurse is aware that which age group is at risk for childhood injury because of the cognitive
characteristic of magical and egocentric thinking?
a. Preschool
b. Young school age
c. Middle school age
d. Adolescent
ANS: A
Preschool children have the cognitive characteristic of magical and egocentric thinking, meaning they are
unable to comprehend danger to self or others. Young and middle school-aged children have transitional
cognitive processes, and they may attempt dangerous acts without detailed planning but recognize danger to
themselves or others. Adolescents have formal operational cognitive processes and are preoccupied with
abstract thinking.

16. The school nurse is assessing children for risk factors related to childhood injuries. Which child has the
most risk factors related to childhood injury?
a. Female, multiple siblings, stable home life
b. Male, high activity level, stressful home life
c. Male, even tempered, history of previous injuries
d. Female, reacts negatively to new situations, no serious previous injuries
ANS: B
Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral characteristics, a high
activity temperament is associated with risk-taking behaviors, and stress predisposes children to increased risk
taking and self-destructive behaviors. Therefore, a male child with a high activity level and living in a stressful
environment has the highest number of risk factors. A girl with several siblings and a stable home life is low
risk. A boy with previous injuries has two risk factors, but an even temper is not a risk factor for injuries. A
,girl who reacts negatively to new situations but has no previous serious illnesses has only one risk factor.

b. Our child may show lasting symptoms of stress.
c. We know that our child will show caring behaviors.
d. Our child may have difficulty concentrating in school.
ANS: C
The statement that the child will show caring behaviors needs further teaching. Children living with chronic
violence may exhibit behaviors such as difficulty concentrating in school, memory impairment, aggressive
play, uncaring behaviors, and lasting symptoms of stress.

Chapter 1-34
a. Strong evidence from unbiased observational studies
b. Evidence from randomized clinical trials showed inconsistent results
c. Consistent evidence from well-performed randomized clinical trials
d. Evidence for at least one critical outcome from randomized clinical trials had serious flaws
ANS: B
Evidence from randomized clinical trials with important limitations indicates that the evidence is of moderate
quality. Strong evidence from unbiased observational studies and consistent evidence from well-performed
randomized clinical trials indicates high quality. Evidence for at least one critical outcome from randomized
clinical trials that has serious flaws indicates low quality.

moral value is the nurse displaying when supporting the adolescent to make decisions?

Autonomy is the patients right to be self-governing. The adolescent is trying to be autonomous, so the nurse is
supporting this value. Justice is the concept of fairness. Beneficence is the obligation to promote the patients
well-being. Nonmaleficence is the obligation to minimize or prevent harm.
