practice them for the HESI. :) none

for the practical nurse to implement?

a. Provide for privacy.

b. Encourage parents to room-in.

c. Explain procedures and routines.


d. Encourage contact with children of the same age. b. Encourage parents to room-in.

c. Mass in the upper right abdominal quadrant, shaped like an olive.


d. Emesis which looks and smells as if it had feces backed up into it. c. Mass in the upper

right abdominal quadrant, shaped like an olive.

Rationale:

An infant with pyloric stenosis will have an olive-shaped mass in the upper right abdominal

quadrant. The child will frequently have projectile vomiting, and is hungry, loses weight and may

quickly dehydrate. Pyloric stenosis is not associated with occasional burping or bile-colored

emesis. Emesis that looks and smells like feces is associated with bowel obstruction

A mother phones the clinic because her 6-year-old child has been taking prescribed antibiotics

for 7 of the previous 10 days and continues to cough. She also reports that the cough is

worsening and is nonproductive. What information should the practical nurse (PN) provide to

this mother?

a. Watch the child a few more days and see if the cough begins to produce sputum.

b. Complete the full 10-day course of antibiotics and reevaluate the cough then.

c. Give the child plenty of fluids and an over-the-counter cough suppressant.


d. Bring the child to the clinic today for an examination related to the cough. d. Bring the

child to the clinic today for an examination related to the cough.

Rationale:

, Pediatric's HESI Comp Book 100% Correct
The child should be evaluated as soon as possible for pneumonia. Antibiotics usually improve

symptoms during the first few days of treatment but should be continued for the full prescribed

course. A continued cough after 7 days of antibiotic treatment may indicate an infectious process

in the lower lungs, which could cause a nonproductive cough. Children with pneumonia can

deteriorate unexpectedly and rapidly and can become seriously ill with no sputum production.




A 2-year-old child developed a fever of 103.4° F (39.7° C) and was rushed to the emergency

department when the child developed febrile seizures. After the child was stabilized, the health

care provider diagnosed otitis media in the child. The concerned caregivers ask the nurse how

this can be prevented from happening again. The nurse should reinforce which instructions?

a. Contact the child's health care provider if the child starts pulling at the ear.

b. If the child develops an elevated temperature, bathe the child in cold water.

c. Give the child a bottle to take while in the supine position to relieve the pain.

d. Use children's chewable baby aspirin if the child's temperature is over 102° F (38.9° C).

a. Contact the child's health care provider if the child starts pulling at the ear.


The parents should be taught to contact the health care provider if the child begins to pull at the

ears, an early sign of otitis media. Treating otitis media early can reduce the risk of a high

temperature and a resulting febrile seizure. If the child develops an elevated temperature, the

child should be bathed in tepid water, not cold water or rubbing alcohol. Taking a bottle in the

supine position is not recommended because this increases the risk of developing otitis media.

Children should be given acetaminophen as prescribed for pain and fever. Aspirin is not
