distance, you reduce the exposure by a factor of four. The amount of radiation exposure typically
increases with the time people spend near the source of radiation

The nurse is making patient room assignments. In order to minimize the risk of a hospital acquired
infection, which of these children would be the most appropriate roommate for a 3-year-old child
diagnosed with minimal change disease
a. 3 year old with fracture, with a sibling that has Fifth disease
b. 2 year old diagnosed with respiratory infection
c. 6 year old with sickle cell disease experiencing vaso-occlusive crisis
d. 4 year old with bilateral inguinal hernia repair Correct Answer: d. 4 year old with bilateral inguinal
hernia repair
Minimal change disease is a kidney disorder that can lead to nephrotic syndrome. Corticosteroids can
cure the disease in most children but cytotoxic therapy and other drugs may be needed, but this
treatment can reduce the child's ability to fight infection. The charge nurse must select a roommate who
does not have an infection, which is the child child who had surgery. The sickle cell crisis may have
triggered an infection. The child's sibling who has a viral disease has the potential to develop an
infection.
The nurse is setting up a patient's dinner tray. When the nurse turns her back to the patient, the patient
grabs the nurse's buttocks and states that he is hungry for much more than dinner. Which of the
following response by the nurse is indicated?
a. ignore the behavior
,b. call the HCP
c. quickly leave the room and ask UAP to assist the patient
d. complete an incident report Correct Answer: d. complete an incident report
To keep the therapeutic relationship intact, a nurse needs to set limits on appropriate behavior and not
ignore bad behavior. Sexual harassment is a form of violence and is never part of the job. The nurse
should report the incident to her supervisor and complete an incident report. The nurse has the right to
ask not to be assigned to this patient.
The paramedics are transporting a poisoning victim to the local hospital. In which of these cases does
the nurse anticipate that hyperbaric O2 therapy will be used?
a. 6yo found sitting on bathroom floor beside an empty bottle of diazepam
b. 21 yo with suspected ethanol intoxication
c. 35 yo found unconscious with suspected CO poisoning
2 yo who ate an undetermined amount of crystal drain cleaner Correct Answer: c. 35 yo found
unconscious with suspected CO poisoning
CO poisoning is the leading cause of poisoning in the US. It causes severe hypoxia which is why
treatment includes high-dose oxygen. In severe poisoning, hyperbaric O2 therapy may be used.
Treatment for:
-crystal drain cleaner and diazepam may include gastric lavage and/or activated charcoal
-alcohol intoxication may include gastric lavage, IV fluids, and supportive care
A neonate is having difficulty maintaining a temperature above 98F and is placed in an infant warming
system. Which of the following actions will ensure the safety of the neonate?
a. monitor temperature continuously
b. avoid touching neonate with cold hands
c. warm all medications and liquids before administration
d. wrap the neonate snugly in a cotton blanket Correct Answer: a. monitor temperature continuously
When using the warming device, the neonate's temperature should be continuously monitored using a
probe that securely attached to the skin. Monitoring the neonate's temperature is the priority safety
concern because the skin burns, permanent brain damage or even death can result due to improper use
or monitoring of equipment. No clothing or swaddling is needed in the IWS; usually babies are dressed
only in a diaper (although bubble wrap blankets or plastic wrap blankets can be used to minimize heat
loss in high risk newborns). For healthy term newborns, nurses should warm their hands and
stethoscopes prior to contact with the baby.

a. 20 month old who has just learned to climb the stairs

c. 15 yo who likes to repair bicycles
, d. 9 month old who stays with a sitter 5 days a week Correct Answer: a. 20 month old who has just
learned to climb the stairs
Toddlers, aged 1-3 years, are at highest risk for poisoning because they are increasingly mobile, need to
explore and engage in autonomous behavior
A nurse is performing well-child assessments at a day care center when a staff member interrupts the
exam for assistance with another child. The nurse finds a 3 yo child on the floor with bleeding gums and
2 unlabeled open bottles nearby. What should the nurses first action be?
a. call poison control and then 911
b. administer syrup of Ipecac to induce vomiting
c. ask the staff member about the contents of the bottles
d. give the child milk to coat the stomach Correct Answer: c. ask the staff member about the contents of
the bottles

demonstrates an awareness of safe and proficient nursing practice?

d. ask name then check wristband Correct Answer: c. ask name and allergies, then check wristband and
allergy band

this is a new medication an allergy check is appropriate. The other option have parts that might be
correct actions. However, to be the correct answer all the parts of an option need to be correct.
