QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A nurse is creating a plan of care for a school-age child who has heart disease and has developed heart
failure. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan? - CORRECT ANSWER

The metabolic rate of a child who has heart failure is high because of poor cardiac function. Therefore,
the nurse should provide small, frequent meals for the child because it helps to conserve energy.

dysplasia of the hip. The nurse should identify that which of the following statements by the parent
indicates an understanding of the teaching? - CORRECT ANSWER "I will place my infant's diapers under
the harness straps."
To prevent soiling of the harness, the parent should apply the infant's diaper under the straps.

and has a sodium level of 129 mEq/L. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in
the plan? - CORRECT ANSWER Initiate seizure precautions for the child.
A sodium level of 129 mEq/L indicates hyponatremia and places the child at increased risk for
neurological deficits and seizure activity. The nurse should complete a neurologic assessment and
implement seizure precautions to maintain the child's safety.

following findings should the nurse expect? - CORRECT ANSWER Absence of peristalsis

, A nurse is preparing an adolescent for a lumbar puncture. Which of the following actions should the
nurse take? - CORRECT ANSWER Apply topical analgesic cream to the site 1 hr prior to the procedure.
The nurse should apply a topical analgesic to the lumbar site 1 hr prior to the procedure to decrease the
adolescent's pain while the lumbar needle is inserted.
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who is receiving cefazolin via intermittent IV bolus. The child
suddenly develops diffuse flushing of the skin and angioedema. After discontinuing the medication
infusion, which of the following medications should the nurse administer first? - CORRECT ANSWER
Epinephrine
This child is most likely experiencing an anaphylactic reaction to the cefazolin. According to evidence-
based practice, the nurse should first administer epinephrine to treat the anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is a
beta adrenergic agonist that stimulates the heart, causes vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the skin
and mucous membranes, and triggers bronchodilation in the lungs.
A nurse is teaching the parent of a preschooler about ways to prevent acute asthma attacks. Which of
the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching? - CORRECT ANSWER
"I should keep my child indoors when I mow the yard."
The nurse should instruct the parent to keep the preschooler indoors during lawn maintenance or when
the pollen count is increased. Guarding against exposure to known allergens found outdoors, such as
grass, tree, and weed pollen, will decrease the frequency of the preschooler's asthma attacks.
A nurse is proving dietary teaching to the parent of a school-age child who has celiac disease. The nurse
should recommend that the parent offer which of the following foods to the child? - CORRECT ANSWER
White rice
The nurse should recommend that the parent offer white rice to the child because it is a gluten-free
food. The nurse should instruct the parent that the child will remain on a lifelong gluten-free diet and
the child should not consume oats, rye, barley, or wheat, and sometimes lactose deficiency can be
secondary to this disease.
