160 questions and answers
1. In planning care for a 6 month-old infant, what must the nurse provide to
assist in the development of trust?
A) Food
B) Warmth
C) Security
D) Comfort
Ans>> C) Security
Infants develop trust through consistent and reliable caregiving that meets
their needs for comfort, food, warmth, and security. However, security is
particularly crucial for fostering trust as it encompasses the emotional and
physical environment that makes the infant feel safe and protected. When an
,infant feels secure, they are more likely to develop a sense of trust in their
caregivers and the world around them.
2. A nurse has just received a medication order which is not legible. Which
statement best reflects assertive communication?
A) "I cannot give this medication as it is written. I have no idea of what you
mean."
B) "Would you please clarify what you have written so I am sure I am reading
it correctly?"
C) "I am having difficulty reading your handwriting. It would save me time if
you would be more careful."
D) "Please print in the future so I do not have to spend extra time attempting
to read your writing."
Ans>> B) "Would you please clarify what you have written so I am sure I am
reading it correctly?"
This response is assertive because it communicates the need for clarification in
a respectful and professional manner, without blaming or criticizing the
prescriber. It seeks to ensure that the nurse understands the medication order
correctly and can safely administer the medication to the patient.
,3. What is the most important consideration when teaching parents how to
reduce risks in the home?
A) Age and knowledge level of the parents
B) Proximity to emergency services
C) Number of children in the home
D) Age of children in the home
Ans>> D) Age of children in the home
Understanding the parents' age, knowledge level, and their familiarity with
safety practices is crucial in tailoring education effectively. This ensures that the
informa- tion provided is comprehensible and actionable for the parents,
leading to better implementation of safety measures within the home
environment.
,4. A 35 year-old client with sickle cell crisis is talking on the telephone but
stops as the nurse enters the room to request something for pain. The nurse
should
A) Administer a placebo
B) Encourage increased fluid intake
C) Administer the prescribed analgesia
D) Recommend relaxation exercises for pain control
Ans>> C) Administer the pre- scribed analgesia
Sickle cell crisis is characterized by severe pain, and prompt administration of
pre- scribed analgesia is essential to manage the client's pain effectively.
Administering a placebo or recommending relaxation exercises may not
adequately address the acute pain associated with sickle cell crisis. Additionally,
encouraging increased fluid intake is generally beneficial in sickle cell disease
management but would not be the first-line intervention for managing acute
pain during a crisis
5. While caring for a toddler with croup, which initial sign of croup requires the
nurse's immediate attention?
A) Respiratory rate of 42
B) Lethargy for the past hour
,C) Apical pulse of 54
D) Coughing up copious secretions
Ans>> A) Respiratory rate of 42
A high respiratory rate in a toddler with croup can indicate increased
respiratory effort and potential respiratory distress, which is a critical concern.
Monitoring the respiratory rate closely and intervening promptly if it continues
to rise or if there are signs of respiratory distress is essential in managing croup
effectively
6. A client is admitted with low T3 and T4 levels and an elevated TSH level.
On initial assessment, the nurse would anticipate which of the following
assessment findings?
A) Lethargy
B) Heat intolerance
C) Diarrhea
D) Skin eruptions
Ans>> A) Lethargy
Lethargy is a common symptom of hypothyroidism, which is characterized by
low levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and elevated thyroid-stimulating
,hormone (TSH) levels. Other common symptoms of hypothyroidism include
fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, and constipation. Heat
intolerance, diarrhea, and
,skin eruptions are more characteristic of hyperthyroidism, where there are
elevated
levels of thyroid hormones
7. The emergency room nurse admits a child who experienced a seizure at
school. The father comments that this is the first occurrence, and denies any
family history of epilepsy. What is the best response by the nurse?
A) "Do not worry. Epilepsy can be treated with medications."
B) "The seizure may or may not mean your child has epilepsy."
C) "Since this was the first convulsion, it may not happen again."
D) "Long term treatment will prevent future seizures."
Ans>> B) "The seizure may or may not mean your child has epilepsy."
This response acknowledges the uncertainty surrounding the single
occurrence of a seizure and avoids making definitive statements without
further evaluation and diagnostic testing. It's important for the nurse to
provide accurate information while also acknowledging that additional
assessments and investigations may be
necessary to determine the underlying cause of the seizure and whether it is
likely to recur
8. Alcohol and drug abuse impairs judgment and increases risk taking behav-
,ior. What nursing diagnosis best applies?
A) Risk for injury
B) Risk for knowledge deficit
C) Altered thought process
D) Disturbance in self-esteem
Ans>> A) Risk for injury
Substance abuse can lead to impaired judgment and increased risk-taking
behavior, which can elevate the risk of injury to the individual. This nursing
diagnosis reflects the potential danger associated with substance abuse,
including the risk of acci- dents, falls, self-harm, or harm caused by risky
behaviors associated with impaired decision-making.
9. Which these findings would the nurse more closely associate with anemia
in a 10 month-old infant?
A) Hemoglobin level of 12 g/dI
B) Pale mucosa of the eyelids and lips
C) Hypoactivity
D) A heart rate between 140 to 160
Ans>> B) Pale mucosa of the eyelids and lips
Anemia is characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells or a decreased
, hemoglobin level, leading to symptoms such as pallor, especially in the mucosa
of the eyelids and lips. This pallor is often noticeable as a paleness or whitening of
these
