c. a 4 year old preschooler who prefers playing with others rather than alone
d. an 8 month old infant who is not yet making babbling sounds - D
The nurse should refer a toddler who does not possess intelligible speech by the age of 24 months to a

provider for a more extensive evaluation of hearing.

experiencing acute vomiting and diarrhea. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse
identify as an indication that the infant has moderate to severe dehydration?
a. HR 124
b. increased tear production
c. sunken anterior fontanel
d. capillary refill 2 seconds - C
,A heart rate of 124/min is within the expected reference range of 106 to 186/min for a 3- to the 5-
month-old infant. The nurse should expect the infant who has moderate to severe dehydration to have
tachycardia.
An infant who has moderate to severe dehydration is more likely to have an absence of tears rather than
increased tear production.
The nurse should recognize that a sunken anterior fontanel is an indication of moderate to severe
dehydration due to the acute loss of fluid.
A capillary refill of 2 seconds is within the expected reference range of 2 seconds or less for a 3-month-
old infant. An infant who has moderate to severe dehydration is more likely to have a delayed capillary
refill of greater than 2 seconds.

a. "limit movement of the child's large joints"
b. "encourage the child to perform independent self-care."
c. "provide the child with a soft mattress for sleeping."
d. "schedule a 2 hour daily nap for the child in the afternoon." - B
"Limit movement of the child's large joints."Large joints should be exercised regularly to maintain
mobility and strengthen muscles.
"Encourage the child to perform independent self-care."MY ANSWERThe nurse should teach the family
the importance of encouraging the child to perform independent self-care. This will minimize the child's
pain while maximizing mobility. Encouraging and praising the child's efforts for independence will also
increase their self-esteem.
"Provide the child with a soft mattress for sleeping."Children who have juvenile idiopathic arthritis
should sleep on a firm mattress to provide support in maintaining joints in a functional position.
, "Schedule a 2-hour daily nap for the child in the afternoon."Daytime naps are discouraged because
stiffness can occur quickly and easily with inactivity, and naps can interfere with nighttime sleeping.
