PEDS test Questions and Correct Answers
the Latest Update 1
The nurse is preparing a 4-year-old for surgery. Which technique is most appropriate?

1 Allow the child to handle safe medical equipment.

2 Limit the teaching to one 1-hour session.

3 Explain to the child that he or she will be put to sleep for the procedure.

4 Use an anatomically correct doll to explain the procedure.

✓ 1. The preschool-age child learns well by participating in therapeutic play, such as
handling safe medical equipment. Terms such as "put to sleep" might be misinterpreted by
the child. Anatomically correct dolls are not appropriate for preschool-age children. The
preschool-age child benefits from several short teaching sessions.



The nurse notes that a 6-month-old infant who weighed 7 pounds at birth now weighs 15

pounds. What is the nurse's evaluation of the infant's current weight?

1 The infant should be hospitalized for failure to thrive.

2 The infant needs weekly follow-up to assess weight.

3 The infant has been consuming more calories than needed.

4 The infant's weight is appropriate for age.

✓ 4. The infant's birth weight should double by 5 to 6 months; therefore, the weight of 15
pounds is appropriate. There is no need for weekly weights in an infant who is thriving.
There is no indication of failure to thrive, nor is there any indication that the child has
been consuming too many calories.

A 14-year-old has been diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes. Which technique is most

appropriate in order to facilitate coping with this diagnosis?

1 Warn the teen of the consequences of noncompliance.

2 Introduce the adolescent to another teenager who is successfully managing his or her own

diabetes.

3 Give the adolescent specific instructions.

4 Encourage increased dependence on parents for several weeks.

✓ 2 The adolescent benefits from meeting teens who are successfully managing a similar
diagnosis. The adolescent might not respond well to being instructed what to do. While
the teen needs information related to consequences of noncompliance, this should never be
in the form of a warning. In addition, this information would not facilitate coping with the
diagnosis.



The nurse notes that a 5-month-old has significant head lag when an attempt is made to pull

the infant to a sitting position. Based on this assessment, the nurse recognizes which of the

following?

1 Needs further assessment and evaluation

2 Has some degree of mental retardation

3 Is developing normally

4 Has been neglected by the parents

✓ 1. Head lag should not be present in a 5-month-old. The nurse cannot conclude that the
child has been neglected or has some degree of mental retardation based on head lag
alone. The child needs further assessment and evaluation.

Parallel play, the action of children playing with similar objects side-by-side, occasionally

trading toys and words, is characteristic of which age of child?

1 Infant

2 Toddler

3 Preschooler

4 School age

✓ 2. Parallel play is a characteristic of the toddler age child. This playtime with other
children helps toddlers develop social skills. Infants, preschoolers, and school-age children
do not exhibit parallel play.



While interviewing the parents of a 2-year-old female, the nurse notes the mother is pregnant.

At the end of the visit, the nurse decides to give a new pamphlet to the parents about car seat

use for newborns. What is this visit an example of?

1 Developmental screening

2 Primary preventative health maintenance

3 Tertiary preventative health maintenance

4 Secondary preventative health maintenance

✓ 2. Providing information about proper car seat use may decrease the opportunity for
injury in a newborn, and is an example of primary preventative health maintenance. The
secondary level of prevention is focused on diagnosis of a problem, usually medical in
nature, in order to address it and make a plan of care. The tertiary level is related to
restoring impaired functioning to an expected level, such as in a rehabilitation situation.
This is an example of education, not developmental screening to elicit data.

During a health supervision visit, the nurse is attempting to develop a partnering relationship

with the child and family. Initially, the nurse should do which of the following?

1 Discuss with the family a plan to address the child's health needs

2 Set goals for the family related to the child's health

3 Tell the family what the child should be doing physically for the age level

4 Tell the family that the healthcare provider will answer any questions they might have

related to their child's growth and development

✓ 1. Discussing and developing a plan with the family will actively involve the family
members and will build more trust, rather than telling them what they should do. The nurse
should not set the goals without family involvement. Not all children develop each skill at
the same age. Telling the family what the child should be doing can cause feelings of
fear, frustration, and concern for the family if the child is not doing all of the activities
listed by the nurse. Just telling the healthcare provider will not allow the nurse the
opportunity to provide teaching and will not allow for the development of a trusting
relationship with the family.



While waiting for a physical exam from the healthcare provider, the mother of a 4-month-old

female begins changing a soiled diaper. The nurse notes a reddened diaper area on the

infant. Which of the following interventions would be most appropriate in this situation?

1 Say nothing, as the mother appears comfortable with diaper care.

2 Ask the mother what care she provides to the diaper area during routine diaper changes.

3 Report the red area to the healthcare provider.

4 Give the mother a pamphlet on diaper rashes as she leaves the office.
