Chapter 1 Child Health Nursing: Concepts, Roles, and Issues
1) A nurse in the pediatric acute care unit is assigned the following tasks. Based on recognizing
that the action defined requires training beyond the preparation of a registered nurse, the nurse
would refuse to:
1. diagnose a six-year-old with diversional activity deficit related to placement in isolation.
2. listen to the concerns of an adolescent about being out of school for a lengthy surgical
recovery.
3. diagnose an eight-year-old with acute otitis media, and prescribe an antibiotic.
4. provide information to a mother of a newly diagnosed four-year-old diabetic about local
support group options.

Answer: 3
Explanation: 1. Nursing diagnoses are a responsibility of the nurse in an acute care unit.
2. Listening to concerns is within the expectations of a nurse in an acute care unit.
ED
3. Advanced practice nurse practitioners perform assessment, diagnosis, and management of
health conditions. The role of the pediatric nurse includes providing nursing assessment, direct
nursing care interventions, client and family education at developmentally appropriate levels,
client advocacy, case management, minimization of distress, and coping enhancement.

,2) Despite the availability of Children's Health Insurance Programs (CHIP), many eligible
children are not enrolled. The nursing intervention that best helps eligible children to become
enrolled is:
1. educating the family about the need for keeping regular well-child visit appointments.
2. assessing details of the family's income and expenditures.
3. limiting costly, unnecessary duplication of services through case management.
4. advocating for the child by encouraging the family to investigate CHIP eligibility.
Answer: 4
Explanation: 1. While it is the nurse's responsibility to educate the family, this intervention is
not what will best help eligible children to become enrolled.
2. Financial assessment is more commonly the function of a social worker.
3. The case management activity mentioned will not provide a source of funding.
M
4. In the role of an advocate, a nurse advances the interests of the child by suggesting that the
family investigate CHIP eligibility.

risk children
2. A clinical nurse specialist working as a staff nurse on a medical-surgical pediatric unit
OI
3. A registered nurse who is the circulating nurse in surgery

Answer: 1
SS
Explanation: 1. A clinical nurse specialist, with whom other nurses consult for expertise in
caring for high-risk children, would define an advanced practice nursing role. Advanced practice
nurses have specialized knowledge and competence in a specific clinical area and have earned a
EU
master's degree.
2. A clinical nurse specialist working as a staff nurse on a medical-surgical pediatric unit might
have the qualifications for an advanced practice nursing staff, but they are not working in that
capacity.

cons of the treatment plan.
3. assist the primary care nurse with procedures requiring advanced practice skills.
4. communicate with the hospitalized school-aged child's classroom teacher to assist the child in
achieving classroom goals.
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. The nurse educator does not provide primary care for healthy children.
2. The educator works with the family to make informed choices through education and
explanation.
M
3. The nurse educator does not assist with procedures requiring advance practice skills.

nurse about expectations during the child's recovery. Which information tool would be most
useful in answering a parent's questions about timing of key events?
1. Healthy People 2020
OI
2. National clinical practice guidelines
3. Child mortality statistics
4. Critical clinical pathways
SS
Answer: 4
Explanation: 1. Healthy People 2020 contains objectives set by the U.S. government to improve
the health and reduce the incidence of death in the twenty-first century.
EU
2. National clinical practice guidelines promote uniformity in care for specific disease conditions
by suggesting expected outcomes from specific interventions.
3. Child mortality statistics can be compared with those from other decades for the evaluation of
achievement toward health care goals.
R
4. Critical clinical pathways are interdisciplinary documents provided by a hospital to suggest
ideal sequencing and timing of events and interventions for specific diseases to improve
efficiency of care and enhance recovery. These pathways serve as models outlining the typical
hospital stay for individuals with specified conditions.
