NUR1025 Module 6 EAQs Exam with 96 Questions and
Answers.
A pregnant patient visits the primary health care provider for a prenatal checkup. The
patient reveals that she occasionally smokes and drinks alcoholic beverages. The nurse
expects the health care provider will instruct the patient to stop drinking and smoking.
What is the rationale for these instructions? - Correct Answer Smoking and alcohol impair
the baby's cognitive development.
The nurse is assessing growth and development in an infant and suspects the child has
infantile autism. What observations led the nurse to come to this conclusion? - Correct
Answer Unresponsiveness to sounds
Functional hearing loss is associated with infantile autism. The child has central auditory
imperceptions and is unresponsive to sounds as a result of hearing loss. The child may
have reduced development and reduced increase in height and weight relative to other
children.
The nurse is assessing a child with a hearing impairment. The child has no speech defect
but has difficulty hearing low voices. What would be the hearing level of the child based on
the Classification of Hearing Impairment System? - Correct Answer Slight hearing
impairment
A third-grade student is diagnosed with autism. What should the nurse instruct the teacher
to expect the child to have difficulty doing? - Correct Answer Coordinating with other
students during projects
A child with autism may have difficulty with nonverbal social interactions such as eye-to-
eye contact, facial expressions, body posture, and gesture.
The nurse is caring for a child with cognitive impairment. Which statement made by the
nurse to the parents is a reason for concern? - Correct Answer "I do not know what is
going on with this child's health."
A child is diagnosed with a conductive hearing loss after reporting difficulty in hearing.
How should the nurse help the parents cope with the situation? - Correct Answer The
nurse explains that conductive hearing loss can be treated successfully.
,Conductive hearing loss can be treated by both medical and surgical procedures.
Reassurance provided by the nurse about the available treatments can help the parents
cope with the condition.
A 10-year-old child is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The parents
ask the nurse about the cause of the disorder. Which answer given by the nurse is most
appropriate? - Correct Answer "The exact cause of autism spectrum disorders is
unknown."
Although the exact cause of ASD is not known, the nurse should always help parents
understand that they are not responsible for the child's condition. There are many theories
about the cause of ASD, but nothing is definitive.
The nurse is assessing a newborn and notices the infant has a shortened rib cage,
Brushfield spots, and broad, short hands with stubby fingers. What can the nurse interpret
that the newborn may have? - Correct Answer Down syndrome
Early detection of a hearing impairment is critical because of its effect on areas of a child's
life. The nurse should evaluate further for effects of the hearing impairment on what? -
Correct Answer Speech development
The ability to hear sounds is essential for the development of speech. Babies imitate the
sounds that they hear. The child will have greater difficulty learning to read, but the
primary issue of concern is the effect on speech.
A 5-year-old male child has bilateral eye patches that were put in place after surgery
yesterday morning. Today he can be allowed to get out of bed. What is the most important
nursing intervention? - Correct Answer Orient him to his immediate surroundings.
Because the child is being allowed to move about while both eyes are patched, the
immediate safety concern for him is ensuring familiarity with his immediate surroundings.
Orientation to the room now that he is out of bed is essential.
A child with strabismus is undergoing treatment for impaired vision of the left eye. The
nurse covers the child's right eye with an occlusion patch. Why does the nurse do so? -
Correct Answer To increase vision in the left eye
While caring for a child with strabismus, the nurse should cover the unaffected eye with an
occlusive patch because it helps stimulate vision and movement in the weaker eye.
, A week-old newborn is assessed for body weight, birth marks, and height. The birth
weight is lower than what it should be for height. Which physical feature of the newborn
makes the nurse conclude that the newborn is affected by Down syndrome? - Correct
Answer Short and broad neck
The nurse is assessing a newborn with Down syndrome. The newborn's parent tells the
nurse, "We are having a hard time holding our baby. We didn't have this hard of a time with
our other children." What would be the nurse's best response? - Correct Answer "Children
with Down syndrome have lower muscle tone."
Newborns with Down syndrome have joint hyperflexibility and low muscle tone. This can
make it difficult to hold the newborn because he or she can go limp like a rag doll. This
makes it difficult for the parents to embrace and provide warmth to their newborn.
A child in the clinic exhibits reduced visual acuity in one eye despite appropriate optical
correction. What does the nurse expect the child's health care provider to diagnosis the
child with? - Correct Answer Amblyopia
The nurse is assessing a child with autism. What characteristic features of autism does
the nurse expect to find in the child? Select all that apply. - Correct Answer Verbal

has photophobia and eye redness. What treatment would the nurse expect the health
care provider to prescribe for this patient? - Correct Answer Surgical treatment to open the
outflow tract for aqueous humor

accumulation of aqueous humor in the eye. This is manifested as glaucoma, and the
treatment involves surgical intervention to increase the outflow of aqueous humor.
The parents brought their child to the emergency department after a needle penetrated
the child's eye. Which action should the nurse perform while caring for the child? - Correct
Answer Observe for hyphema and reaction of the pupil to light.
