1. Question:
A nurse is caring for a 3-year-old child who is hospitalized for an asthma
exacerbation. The child is anxious and refuses to use the inhaler. What is the best
approach for the nurse to take?
A) Force the child to use the inhaler to prevent further complications.
B) Explain to the child the importance of the inhaler in a simple way and offer a
reward after use.
C) Ignore the child's refusal and wait for the child to calm down on their own.
D) Let the parents administer the medication without offering support or
explanation.
Answer: B
Rationale: A child at this age can understand simple explanations and may
respond well to reassurance and encouragement. Offering a reward can also
motivate the child. Forceful measures may increase anxiety and worsen the
situation. Ignoring the behavior or relying only on parents may not address the
child's needs effectively.


2. Question:
A nurse is teaching a mother how to care for her child with a new diagnosis of
type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which statement by the mother indicates that teaching
has been effective?
A) "I will check my child’s blood glucose level before every meal and at bedtime."
B) "I can give my child fruit juice if their blood sugar drops too low."

,C) "It is important to give insulin after meals so that my child’s blood glucose is
controlled."
D) "My child can eat anything they want as long as I adjust the insulin dosage."
Answer: A
Rationale: Blood glucose levels should be checked before meals and at bedtime
for proper management of diabetes. Giving fruit juice is an appropriate treatment
for hypoglycemia, but insulin should be administered according to a prescribed
schedule and not solely after meals. Adjusting insulin dosage without considering
the nutritional balance or type of food is not a safe practice.


3. Question:
A nurse is caring for a 2-year-old child who has been diagnosed with otitis media.
Which of the following should the nurse include in the care plan?
A) Encourage the child to lie flat to promote drainage.
B) Administer prescribed antibiotics for the full course.
C) Limit fluid intake to reduce pressure on the ear.
D) Place a heating pad on the affected ear to relieve pain.
Answer: B
Rationale: Antibiotics should be administered for the full course to prevent
complications. Lying flat may exacerbate symptoms by increasing ear pressure.
Limiting fluid intake is unnecessary, and a heating pad is not recommended for
children due to the risk of burns.


4. Question:
A nurse is assessing a 4-year-old child who has been diagnosed with chickenpox.
Which of the following findings would indicate a potential complication?
A) The presence of a rash on the face, chest, and back.
B) The child develops a fever after the rash appears.
C) The child has lesions in the mouth and difficulty swallowing.
D) The child is scratching the rash.

,Answer: C
Rationale: Lesions in the mouth and difficulty swallowing can indicate
complications such as dehydration or secondary bacterial infections. A rash in the
typical areas (face, chest, back) and fever after the rash are expected with
chickenpox. Scratching is common but may cause skin infections.


5. Question:
A nurse is caring for a 6-month-old infant with a history of frequent respiratory
infections. The parents are concerned about their child's development. Which of
the following responses by the nurse is most appropriate?
A) "At this age, infants typically begin crawling and saying simple words."
B) "Development varies widely at this age, and there’s no cause for concern."
C) "It’s normal for infants to develop respiratory infections frequently at this age."
D) "I can refer you to a pediatrician for further evaluation of your child’s
development."
Answer: D
Rationale: It’s appropriate to refer the parents to a pediatrician for further
evaluation to ensure the child is meeting developmental milestones. While
respiratory infections can be common in infants, the nurse should address the
parent's concerns with a proper referral.


6. Question:
A nurse is caring for a 7-year-old child with a broken arm in a cast. Which of the
following should the nurse teach the child and parents?
A) "It’s important not to get the cast wet, so keep it dry at all times."
B) "The child should avoid using the affected arm to prevent further injury."
C) "The cast can be removed after 2 weeks for evaluation of healing."
D) "The child should take a warm bath every day to promote healing."
Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the cast dry is essential to prevent skin irritation and

, infections. The affected arm should be used for normal activities as tolerated
unless otherwise directed, and the cast is usually removed after a longer period,
depending on healing. A warm bath is not recommended because it may soften
the cast and affect its integrity.


7. Question:
A nurse is assessing a 5-year-old child with a history of lead poisoning. Which of
the following findings is the nurse most likely to observe?
A) Severe headaches and dizziness.
B) Behavior changes, such as irritability and lethargy.
C) Diarrhea and vomiting.
D) Increased appetite and weight loss.
Answer: B
Rationale: Lead poisoning often leads to behavior changes, including irritability
and lethargy, as well as learning difficulties. Severe headaches, dizziness, diarrhea,
and vomiting are less common in lead toxicity but may occur in acute poisoning.


8. Question:
A nurse is assessing a child who presents with a high fever, a red rash, and Koplik
spots in the mouth. The nurse suspects measles. Which of the following
interventions is most important?
A) Isolate the child to prevent the spread of the infection.
B) Administer the MMR vaccine immediately.
C) Apply hydrocortisone cream to the rash for comfort.
D) Give acetaminophen for fever reduction.
Answer: A
Rationale: Measles is highly contagious, so it is essential to isolate the child to
prevent the spread of the infection. The MMR vaccine is given as a preventive
measure, not as immediate treatment. Hydrocortisone cream is not appropriate
