A 4-day-old who is brought to the emergency department with the parental complaint of "not acting

B.Dextrose 10%
C.Dextrose 25%
D.Dextrose 50% - Answer B
Dextrose 10% is the preferred concentration for neonates with hypoglycemia to protect their fragile
vasculature while providing needed glucose. Dextrose 5% is not used to treat hypoglycemia in children.
Dextrose 25% is used for children above the age of 5 years. Dextrose 50% is not recommended for use in
pediatrics unless it is diluted.

A nurse providing trauma informed care to the family of a seriously ill child should be doing which of the
following?
A.Placing the family in a quiet, secluded room
B.Referring to their child as "the patient"
C.Making sure the family does not stay at the bedside.
D.Appointing one staff member to stay with the family - Answer D
Caregivers experiencing the crisis of a critically ill child have low attentiveness and increased stress so
would benefit from having a member of the healthcare team to stay with them as much as possible and
communicate updates on the plan of care. Caregivers should be allowed to stay with their child as much
as possible and not placed in a secluded room away for them.
The caregiver of a 7-year old reports witnessing a seizure at home, but no seizure history. The patient is
post-ictal with a heart rate of 142 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 36 breaths per minute, and blood
pressure of 86/72 mm Hg. Significant burns are noted to the patient's back and lower extremities. The
caregiver states the burns accidentally occurred three days ago, but was afraid to bring the patient in
due to an ongoing child welfare investigation.Which of the following groups of interventions are the
priority for this patient?
A.Call police and child welfare authorities and have security detain the caregiver
B.Administer intravenous analgesics and obtain a point of care glucose
C.Draw a metabolic panel, point of care glucose, and administer a fluid bolus
D.Administer lorazepam and a fluid bolus and place on seizure precautions - Answer C
Burn injuries result in fluid and electrolyte shifts leading to hypovolemia and electrolyte imbalances.
Early identification and treatment of electrolyte imbalances can help prevent further seizures. Contacting
child protective services and other authorities can wait. The patient is post-ictal so does not require
lorazepam medication at this time. Pain medication can and should be considered with significant burns,
but is not a priority.

, A.Administer intravenous atropine
B.Administer intravenous epinephrine
C.Initiate bag-mask ventilation
D.Initiate transcutaneous pacing - Answer C
\
Identifying and treating other causes, chest compressions, and epinephrine are interventions for
pediatric bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion that are not improved by adequate oxygenation and
ventilation. Atropine and pacing may be considered if there is no response to the other interventions.
A 5-year-old child presents to the emergency department after being hit by a car. The patient complains
of left upper quadrant pain, and the focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) exam shows
fluid around her spleen. Which of the following findings would be an early indication of ongoing blood
loss?
A.Widening pulse pressure
B.Bradycardia
C.Decreasing diastolic blood pressure
D.Weak peripheral pulses - Answer D
Early signs of hypovolemic shock include tachycardia and delayed capillary refill. The nurse may note a
strong central pulse but weaker peripheral pulses, indicating the child is compensating by shunting blood
to their core.
Which of the following patients should be evaluated first?
A.A 3-year-old with a dislodged gastrostomy tube
B.An 18-month-old with bilious emesis
C.A 12-year-old with vomiting after a handlebar injury
D.A 3-month-old with periods of inconsolable crying - Answer B
The presence of bilious emesis is especially concerning because it may be indicative of an immediately
life-threatening bowel obstruction. A dislodged gastrostomy tube should be reinserted within 4-6 hours
to prevent stoma closure. Vomiting following a handlebar injury may be indicative of many possible
injuries, but does not take precedence unless other symptoms are present. Infantile colic is described as
