nursing interventions is most appropriate?

A. Administering IV fluids rapidly

B. Implementing protective isolation

C. Encouraging a high-protein diet

D. Providing age-appropriate toys

Answer: B. Implementing protective isolation

system. Protective isolation helps prevent the child from being exposed to potentially harmful
pathogens.

indicative of severe dehydration?

A. Mild thirst

B. Increased urine output

C. Sunken fontanelles

D. Moist mucous membranes

Answer: C. Sunken fontanelles

Rationale: Sunken fontanelles are a classic sign of severe dehydration in infants, indicating
significant fluid loss and decreased tissue turgor.



Question 3:

A nurse is teaching the parents of a toddler who has iron-deficiency anemia about dietary
modifications. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend to increase the child's
iron intake?

A. Whole milk

B. Apple slices

,C. Fortified cereals

D. Carrot sticks

Answer: C. Fortified cereals

Rationale: Fortified cereals are a good source of iron and can help increase the child's iron intake,
which is essential in managing iron-deficiency anemia.



Question 4:

A school-age child with asthma is prescribed a peak flow meter. Which of the following actions
should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. Use the peak flow meter before administering inhaled medication

B. Take a deep breath and blow out slowly into the meter

C. Perform the test while sitting in a chair

D. Record the highest of three readings

Answer: D. Record the highest of three readings

Rationale: The child should record the highest of three readings to get the most accurate
measurement of their peak expiratory flow rate.



Question 5:

A nurse is assessing a 10-month-old infant during a well-baby visit. Which of the following
findings should the nurse report to the provider?

A. The infant is able to sit unsupported

B. The infant has a negative Babinski reflex

C. The infant is unable to pull to a standing position

D. The infant has a pincer grasp

Answer: C. The infant is unable to pull to a standing position

B. Obtain a throat culture

C. Start an IV line

D. Ensure the child has a patent airway

Rationale: Airway management is the priority in a child with difficulty swallowing and high fever,
as these symptoms may indicate epiglottitis or another condition that can rapidly compromise the
airway.

A nurse is caring for a child who has nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following findings should
the nurse expect?

A. Hyperalbuminemia

B. Hypertension

C. Edema
