b) apprehension
c) irritability
d) thirst - CORRECT ANSWERS-Answer: A
Rationale:
As shock progresses, perfusion in the microcirculation becomes marginal
despite compensatory adjustments, and the signs of decompensated shock
become pronounced, such as tachycardia and narrowing pulse pressure (A).
(The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure), which should
be reported immediately. (B,C, and D) are not as significant as (A).
The mother of a male newborn calls the clinic to inquire about the formation
of a yellow crust over her son's circumcision area. What information should
the practical nurse (PN) provide?
a) do not remove the yellow crust from the site
,b) stop using petroleum around the head of the penis
c) bring him into the clinic
d) tightly fasten the diaper - CORRECT ANSWERS-Answer: A

c) sit with the child in bathroom with a hot shower running
d) have the child drink plenty of fluids - CORRECT ANSWERS-Answer: C
Rationale:
Croup (laryngotracheobronchitis) is a viral infection that causes a "barking"
cough and varying degrees of inspiratory stridor, which often responds to a
high humidity environment. Most children can be managed at home using
the stream from a hot shower in a closed bathroom (C) which often stops
laryngeal spasm. Increasing the child's fluid intake is important (D), but not a
priority at this time.Although exposure to cold air (A) also relieves stridor,
parents should be encouraged to use mist humidifier in the child's room. (B)
is not necessary unless the child is having increasingly difficulty breathing
that may lead to a compromised airway.

whenever she leaves him with a sitter. What is the best response for the

b) "Crying when you leave him in a healthy sign of attachment."
c) "Consider taking the baby to the doctor because he may be ill."
d) "You could consider leaving the infant more often so he can adjust." -
CORRECT ANSWERS-Answer: B
Rationale:
Healthy attachment is manifested by stranger anxiety in late infancy (B).
Pain from teething expressed by the infant's cries does not occur only when
the mother leaves the infant with another person (A). The PN should evaluate
the infant's developmental needs (C) before suggesting the infant may be ill.
,An infant who manifests stranger anxiety is best supported by the mother if
the infant is left for shorter periods of time, not (D).

nervous system, leading to meningitis. Measures that protect the integrity of
the meningomyelocele sac and infection control measures should be
implemented to minimize the risk of infection (C). (A,B, and D) should be
implemented but do not have the priority of (C).
The practical nurse is caring for a 6 year old girl who had surgery 12 hours
ago. The child tells the PN that she does not have pain but a few minutes
later, tells her parents that she does. What child development concept is
relevant to this situation?
a) inconsistency in pain reporting suggests that pain not present
b) a child may have pain yet deny its presence to the nurse
c) truthful reporting of pain should occur by this age
d) children use pain experiences to manipulate their parents - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Answer: B
Rationale:
A child may fear receiving an injection for pain or may believe that pain is a
deserved punishment for some misdeed, so the pain is denied (D) when the
nurse asks the child, who then readily admits having pain to a parent. This
behavior should not be interpreted as (C) but as a valid indication of pain. (A
and C) are incorrect interpretations of this behavior.

child. Popsicles (A) are cold and help soothe a dry throat. Citrus drinks (B and

(D) thickens oral mucus which makes swallowing more difficult and causes
coughing.

cognitive development?
a) has a vocabulary of about 1000 words
b) uses short sentences to express self
c) initiates play with other children
d) recognizes right and wrong - CORRECT ANSWERS-Answer: B
Rationale:
Although children develop at different rates, a 2 year old typically uses short
sentences to express independence and control (B) and has a vocabulary of
up to 300 words, not (A). At the age of 2 years, a toddler is developing
negativism without understanding the concepts of right and wrong (D). A 2
year old engages in solitary play and parallel play but does not initiate or
cooperative with other children (C) in play, which begins with socialization of
the preschool child.
The practical nurse (PN) is interviewing a 10 year old girl about school and
her extracurricular activities. She responds, "I like school. I play the flute in
the school band, and I take tennis lessons." Based on Erikson's psychosocial
theory, the PN identifies that this child is in what stage of development?
a) identity
b) intimacy
c) industry
d) initiative - CORRECT ANSWERS-Answer: C
