MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The nurse would include which associated risk when planning a teaching session about
childhood obesity?
a. Type I diabetes
b. Respiratory disease
c. Celiac disease
d. Type II diabetes
ANS: D
, Childhood obesity has been associated with the rise of type II diabetes in children. Type I
diabetes is not associated with obesity and has a genetic component. Respiratory disease is not
associated with obesity, and celiac disease is the inability to metabolize gluten in foods and is not
associated with obesity.

2. Which second-leading cause of death topic would the nurse emphasize to a group of boys
ranging in age from 15 to 19 years?
a. Suicide
b. Cancer
c. Homicide
d. Occupational injuries
ANS: C
Firearm homicide is the second overall cause of death in this age group and the leading cause of
death in African-American males. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death in this population.
Cancer, although a major health problem, is the fourth-leading cause of death in this age group.
Occupational injuries do not contribute to a significant death rate for this age group.

3. Which is the major cause of death for children older than 1 year?
a. Cancer
b. Heart disease
c. Unintentional injuries
d. Congenital anomalies
ANS: C
Unintentional injuries (accidents) are the leading cause of death after age 1 year through
adolescence. Congenital anomalies are the leading cause of death in those younger than 1 year.
Cancer ranks either second or fourth, depending on the age group, and heart disease ranks fifth in
the majority of the age groups.

4. Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to, according to the child’s
age?
a. Physical health of the child
b. Developmental level of the child
c. Educational level of the child
d. Number of responsible adults in the home
, ANS: B
The child’s developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur. The child’s
physical health may facilitate the child’s recovery from an injury but does not impact the type of
injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is not as important as the child’s
developmental level in determining the type of injury. The number of responsible adults in the
home may affect the number of unintentional injuries, but the type of injury is related to the
child’s developmental stage.

5. A nurse on a pediatric unit is practicing family-centered care. Which is most descriptive of the
care the nurse is delivering?
a. Taking over total care of the child to reduce stress on the family
b. Encouraging family dependence on health care systems
c. Recognizing that the family is the constant in a child’s life
d. Excluding families from the decision-making process
ANS: C
The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support.
Family-centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the child’s life. Taking over total
care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead of reducing stress.
The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health care system. The family is
expected to be part of the decision-making process.

6. Which intervention would the nurse include when providing atraumatic care?
a. Prepare the child for separation from parents during hospitalization by reviewing a
video.
b. Prepare the child before any unfamiliar treatment or procedure.
c. Help the child accept the loss of control associated with hospitalization.
d. Help the child accept pain that is connected with a treatment or procedure.
ANS: B
Preparing the child for any unfamiliar treatments, controlling pain, allowing privacy, providing
play activities for expression of fear and aggression, providing choices, and respecting cultural
differences are components of atraumatic care. In the provision of atraumatic care, the separation
of child from parents during hospitalization is minimized. The nurse should promote a sense of
control for the child. Preventing and minimizing bodily injury and pain are major components of
atraumatic care.

7. Which is suggestive that a nurse has a nontherapeutic relationship with a patient and family?
a. Staff is concerned about the nurse’s closeness with the patient and family.
b. Staff assignments allow the nurse to care for same patient and family over an
extended time.
c. Nurse is able to withdraw emotionally when emotional overload occurs but still
remains committed.
d. Nurse uses teaching skills to instruct patient and family rather than doing
everything for them.
ANS: A
A clue to a nontherapeutic staff-patient relationship is concern by other staff members. Allowing
the nurse to care for the same patient over time would be therapeutic for the patient and family.
Nurses who are able to somewhat withdraw emotionally can protect themselves while providing
therapeutic care. Nurses using teaching skills to instruct patient and family will assist in
transitioning the child and family to self-care.

8. Which is descriptive of clinical reasoning?
a. A simple developmental process
b. A cognitive process used to analyze data
c. Based on deliberate and irrational thought
d. Assists individuals in guessing which is most appropriate
ANS: B
Clinical reasoning is a complex, developmental process based on rational and deliberate thought.
Clinical reasoning is not a developmental process. Clinical reasoning is based on rational and
deliberate thought. Clinical reasoning is not a guessing process.

9. A nurse makes the decision to apply a topical anesthetic to a child’s skin before drawing blood.
Which ethical principle is the nurse demonstrating?
a. Autonomy
b. Beneficence
c. Justice
d. Truthfulness
, ANS: B
Beneficence is the obligation to promote the patient’s well-being. Applying a topical anesthetic
before drawing blood promotes reducing the discomfort of the venipuncture. Autonomy is the
patient’s right to be self-governing. Justice is the concept of fairness. Truthfulness is the concept
of honesty.

10. Which action by the nurse demonstrates use of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
a. Gathering equipment for a procedure
b. Documenting changes in a patient’s status
c. Questioning the practice of daily central line dressing changes
d. Clarifying a physician’s prescription for morphine
ANS: C
The nurse who questions the daily central line dressing change is ascertaining whether clinical
interventions result in positive outcomes for patients. This demonstrates EBP, which implies
questioning why something is effective and whether a better approach exists. Gathering
equipment for a procedure and documenting changes in a patient’s status are practices that
follow established guidelines. Clarifying a physician’s prescription for morphine constitutes safe
nursing care.

11. A nurse is admitting a toddler to the hospital and the parents state they will need to leave for a
brief period. Which type of nursing diagnosis would the nurse formulate for this child?
a. Risk for anxiety
b. Anxiety
c. Readiness for enhanced coping
d. Ineffective coping
ANS: A
A potential problem is categorized as a risk. The toddler has a risk to become anxious when the
parents leave. Nursing interventions will be geared toward reducing the risk. The child is not
showing current anxiety or ineffective coping. The child is not at a point for readiness for
enhanced coping, especially because the parents will be leaving.

,12. Which depicts accurate documentation for a dressing change on a child who has an
appendectomy incision?
a. Dressing change to appendectomy incision completed, child tolerated procedure
well, parent present
b. No complications noted during dressing change to appendectomy incision
c. Appendectomy incision non-reddened, sutures intact, no drainage noted on old
dressing, new dressing applied, procedure tolerated well by child
d. No changes to appendectomy incisional area, dressing changed, child complained
of pain during procedure, new dressing clean, dry and intact
ANS: C
The nurse should document assessments and reassessments. Appearance of the incision
described in objective terms should be included during a dressing change. The nurse should
document patient’s response and the outcomes of the care provided. In this example, these
include drainage on the old dressing, the application of the new dressing, and the child’s
response. The other statements partially fulfill the requirements of documenting assessments and
reassessments, patient’s response, and outcome, but do not include all three.

13. A nurse is planning a class on accident prevention for parents of toddlers. Which safety topic is
the priority for this class?
a. Correct use of car seat restraints
b. Safety crossing the street
c. Helmet use when riding a bicycle
d. Poison control numbers
ANS: A
Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) continue to be the most common cause of death in children
older than 1 year, therefore the priority topic is appropriate use of car seat restraints. Safety
crossing the street and bicycle helmet use are topics that should be included for preschool parents
but are not priorities for parents of toddlers. Information about poison control is important for
parents of toddlers and would be a safety topic to include but is not the priority over appropriate
use of car seat restraints.

,14. A nurse is collecting subjective and objective information about target populations to diagnose
problems based on community needs. This describes which step in the community nursing
process?
a. Planning
b. Diagnosis
c. Assessment
d. Establishing objectives
ANS: C
Assessment is a continuous process that operates at all phases of problem solving and is the
foundation for decision making. Assessment involves multiple nursing skills and consists of the
purposeful collection, classification, and analysis of data from a variety of sources. Diagnosing is
the next step of the nursing process when the problem is identified. The nurse should establish
objectives for the activity before starting the nursing process.

15. A nurse has established several health programs, such as bicycle safety, to improve the health
status of a target population. This describes which step in the community nursing process?
a. Planning
b. Evaluation
c. Assessment
d. Implementation

, The nurse working with the community to put into practice a program to reach community goals
is the implementation phase of the community nursing process. Planning involves designing the
program to meet community-centered goals. The evaluation stage would determine the
effectiveness of the program. During the assessment phase, the nurse would identify the
resources necessary and the barriers that would interfere with implementation.

16. When communicating with other professionals, which is important for the nurse to do?
a. Ask others what they want to know.
b. Share everything known about the family.
c. Restrict communication to clinically relevant information.
d. Recognize that confidentiality is not possible.
ANS: C
The nurse will need to share, through both oral and written communication, clinically relevant
information with other involved health professionals. Asking others what they want to know and
sharing everything known about the family is inappropriate. Patients have a right to
confidentiality. The nurse is not permitted to share information about clients, except clinically
relevant information that pertains to the child’s care. Confidentiality permits the disclosure of
information to other health professionals on a need-to-know basis.

b. 5, 2, 3, 4, 1
c. 3, 1, 5, 2, 4
d. 2, 3, 1, 5, 4
ANS: C
When formulating a clinical question for evidence-based practice, the nurse would follow a
concise, organized way that allows for clear answers. Good clinical questions should be asked in
the PICOT (population, intervention, comparison, outcome, time) format to assist with clarity
and literature searching. PICOT questions assist with clarifying the scope of the problem and
clinical topic of interest.
