2. Parents of a hospitalized toddler ask the nurse, ―What is meant by family-centered care?‖ The
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
xx nurse should respond with which statement?
xx xx xx xx xx
a. Family-centered care reduces the effect of cultural diversity on the family. xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
b. Family-centered care encourages family dependence on the health care system. xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
c. Family-centered care recognizes that the family is the constant in a child‘s life. xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
d. Family-centered care avoids expecting families to be part of the decision-making xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
process.
xx
ANS: C xx
The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support. Family-
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the child‘s life. The family should be enabled
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
and empowered to work with the health care system and is expected to be part of the decision-
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
making process. The nurse should also support the family‘s cultural diversity, not reduce its effect.

xx xx xx xx xx xx

4. The nurse is talking to a group of parents of school-age children at an after-school program
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
about childhood health problems. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
a. Childhood obesity is the most common nutritional problem among children.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
b. Immunization rates are the same among children of different races and ethnicity. xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
c. Dental caries is not a problem commonly seen in children since the introduction of
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
fluorinated water.
xx xx
d. Mental health problems are typically not seen in school-age children but may be
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
diagnosed in adolescents.
xx xx xx
ANS: A xx
When teaching parents of school-age children about childhood health problems, the nurse should
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
include information about childhood obesity because it is the most common problem among
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
children and is associated with type 2 diabetes. Teaching parents about ways to prevent obesity is
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
important to include. Immunization rates differ depending on the child‘s race and ethnicity; dental
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
caries continues to be a common chronic disease in childhood; and mental health problems are seen
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
in children as young as school age, not just in adolescents.

5. The nurse is planning care for a hospitalized preschool-aged child. Which should the nurse plan
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
to ensure atraumatic care?
xx xx xx xx
a. Limit explanation of procedures because the child is preschool aged.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
b. Ask that all family members leave the room when performing procedures.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
c. Allow the child to choose the type of juice to drink with the administration of
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
oral medications.
xx xx
d. Explain that EMLA cream cannot be used for the morning lab draw because there
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
is not time for it to be effective.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
ANS: C xx
The overriding goal in providing atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child, a choice of
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
juice to drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of control. The preschool
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
child should be prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of procedures would increase
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
anxiety. The family should be allowed to stay with the child during procedures, minimizing stress.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
Lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream is a topical local anesthetic. The nurse should plan to use the xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
prescribed cream in time for morning laboratory draws to minimize pain.

xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
patient.

ANS: B xx
Criticizing parents for not visiting in shift report is nontherapeutic and shows an under involvement
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
with the parents. Reading a fairy tale is a therapeutic and age-appropriate action. Discussing
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
feelings of an emotional draw with a fellow nurse is therapeutic and shows a willingness to
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
understand feelings. Working with parents to decrease dependence on health care providers is
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
therapeutic and helps to empower the family.

7. The nurse is aware that which age-group is at risk for childhood injury because of the

xx cognitive characteristic of magical and egocentric thinking?
xx xx xx xx xx xx
a. Preschool
b. Young school age xx xx
c. Middle school age xx xx
d. Adolescent
ANS: A xx
Preschool children have the cognitive characteristic of magical and egocentric thinking, meaning
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
they are unable to comprehend danger to self or others. Young and middle school-aged children
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
have transitional cognitive processes, and they may attempt dangerous acts without detailed
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
planning but recognize danger to themselves or others. Adolescents have formal operational cognitive
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
processes and are preoccupied with abstract thinking.

8. The school nurse is assessing children for risk factors related to childhood injuries. Which child
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
has the most risk factors related to childhood injury?
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
a. Female, multiple siblings, stable home life xx xx xx xx xx
b. Male, high activity level, stressful home life xx xx xx xx xx xx
c. Male, even tempered, history of previous injuries
xx xx xx xx xx xx
d. Female, reacts negatively to new situations, no serious previousxx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
injuries xx
ANS: B xx
Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
characteristics, a high activity temperament is associated with risk-taking behaviors, and stress
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
predisposes children to increased risk taking and self-destructive behaviors. Therefore, a male child
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
with a high activity level and living in a stressful environment has the highest number of risk factors.
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
A girl with several siblings and a stable home life is low risk. A boy with previous injuries has two
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
risk factors, but an even temper is not a risk factor for injuries. A girl who reacts negatively to new
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
situations but has no previous serious illnesses has only one risk factor.
