RATED A | BRAND NEW VERSION!!!
A nurse is working with a family whose child has an intellectual
disability that occurred as a result of trauma. Which of the
following situations would best describe an example of this
type of event?
Falling down a flight of stairs
A nurse is reviewing the policies for safety with a family who's
1-year-old child has been admitted to the pediatric unit. Which
information would the nurse most likely give to the parents
about maintaining the child's safety while he is a patient in the
pediatric unit?

,The nurse is performing a health history on a 6-year-old boy
who is having trouble adjusting to school. Which question
would be most likely to elicit valuable information?
A) 'Do you like your new school?'
B) 'Are you happy with your teacher?'
C) 'Do you enjoy reading a book?'
D) 'What are your new classmates like?'
D) 'What are your new classmates like?'
A careful conversation and interview with the child and/or the
caregiver will provide important information about the child's
health. Depending on the intent of the health assessment,
many of the questions will be direct, and many will require
the caregiver or child to answer simply "yes" or "no." In other
than emergency situations, though, asking open-ended
questions such as 'What are your classmates like?' offers an
excellent opportunity to learn more about the child's life.
Which of the following situations would involve mandatory
reporting?
A nurse suspects that an 11-year-old child is being abused in
his home
,The nurse is providing teaching for the mother of an infant who
receives all of his nutrition through a tube. The nurse is
reviewing interventions to promote growth and development.
Which response from the mother indicates a need for further
teaching?
A)"I will give him a pacifier during feeding time."
B)"We need to keep feeding time very quiet."
C)"We need to make sure he doesn't lose the desire to eat by
mouth."
D)"Sucking produces saliva, which aids in digestion."
B)"We need to keep feeding time very quiet."
The nurse needs to emphasize that it is important to talk, play
music, cuddle, and rock the infant to promote a normalized
feeding time. The other statements are correct.
Bacterial pneumonia is suspected in a 4-year-old boy with
fever, headache, and chest pain. Which assessment finding
would most likely indicate the need for this child to be
hospitalized?
, A)Fever
B)Oxygen saturation level of 96%
C)Tachypnea with retractions
D)Pale skin color
C)Tachypnea with retractions
Pneumonia is usually a self-limiting disease. Children with
bacterial pneumonia can be successfully managed at home if
the work of breathing is not severe and oxygen saturation is
within normal limits. Hospitalization would most likely be
required for the child with tachypnea, significant retractions,
poor oral intake, or lethargy for the administration of
supplemental oxygen, intravenous hydration, and antibiotics.
Fever, although common in children with pneumonia, would
not necessitate hospitalization. An oxygen saturation level of
96% would be within normal limits. Pallor (pale skin color)
occurs as a result of peripheral vasoconstriction in an effort to
conserve oxygen for vital functions; this finding also would
not necessitate hospitalization.
A nurse is performing a clinic intake assessment on a 16-year-
old patient. When the nurse asks the patient about alcohol
