ATI PEDIATRIC PROCTORED EXAM 2024|Questions and Answers with Rationales, Graded 100% Correct A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of preschoolers regarding the use of booster seats in a motor vehicle. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching? A. Ensure the shoulder -lap portio n of the seat belt fits across the child's abdomen when sitting in the booster seat. B. Use a no -back, belt -positioning booster seat if the motor vehicle does not have head rests. C. Discontinue using a booster seat when the child is 135 cm (4 feet 5 in) i n height. D. Secure the child in the booster seat using the motor vehicle's shoulder -lap seat belt. D. Secure the child in the booster seat using the motor vehicle's shoulder -lap seat belt. Rationale: The nurse should instruct the parents to secure both t he child and the booster seat with the shoulder -lap seat belt inside the motor vehicle, because booster seats do not have built -in straps. The nurse should instruct the parents that the child should continue using a booster seat until she reaches 145 cm (4 feet 8 in) in height. The nurse should instruct the parents to use a no -back, belt -positioning booster seat in a motor vehicle that has head rests.

A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a child who is in Buck's traction. Which interventions should the nurse include in the plan? A. Remove the weights when changing the bed li nens. B. Maintain the leg in an extended position. C. Monitor the halo device every 4 hr. D. Provide pin care as prescribed. B. Maintain the leg in an extended position Rationale: The nurse should have the child maintain her affected leg in an extended position while in Buck's traction. This position decreases the risk for further injury to the extremity and minimizes the occurrence of muscle spasms. The nurse should maintain the weights in place to avoid discomfort to the child caused by muscle spasms. Th e nurse should identify that a halo device is used for a client who requires cervical traction. Buck's traction is used in the treatment of Legg -Calve -
Perthes disease or other musculoskeletal disorders of the lower extremities. Providing pin care as prescr ibed is an appropriate nursing intervention for a child who is in skeletal traction. Buck's traction uses skin straps or a special boot for traction. A guardian calls the clinic nurse after his child has developed symptoms of varicella and asks when his ch ild will no longer be contagious. Which of the following responses should the nurse make? A. "When your child no longer has a fever." B. "Three days after the rash started." C. "Six days after lesions appear if they are crusted." D. "When your child's les ions disappear." C. "Six days after lesions appear if they are crusted." Rationale: The nurse should inform the guardian that a child will stop being contagious around 6 days after the lesions appeared, as long as they are crusted over. The lesions associ ated with varicella can take varying times to completely resolve. However, a child stops being contagious when the lesions have crusted over and are no longer draining. The rash associated with varicella progresses through several stages, over a period of days, from macule to vesicle. However, a child can still be contagious 3 days after the rash started. The fever associated with varicella develops prodromally about 24 hr before the rash appears. The length of fever varies and is not an indicator of contag iousness. However, the child can still be contagious without a fever. A nurse is caring for a toddler who has otitis media and a temperature of 102.4 F. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first? A. Administer an antipyretic. B. Reduce th e room temperature. C. Dress the child in minimal clothing. D. Apply cool compresses to the child's forehead. A. Administer an antipyretic Rationale: When using the urgent vs. nonurgent approach to client care, the nurse should first administer an antipyretic to decrease the toddler's body temperature. Reducing the room temperature is an effective method of reducing the toddler's temperature when implemented approximately 1 hr after administration of an antipyretic. Theref ore, this is not the first action the nurse should take. Dressing the child in minimal clothing is an effective method of reducing the toddler's temperature when implemented approximately 1 hr after administration of an antipyretic.
