1. A nurse is preparing to assist in the care of a 4-year-old child who has been prescribed
intravenous (IV) medication before surgery. To help the child cope with the anxiety
associated with the procedure, the nurse can use various techniques to make the experience
less stressful and more understandable for the child. Which of the following techniques
should the nurse implement to assist the child in coping with the IV medication procedure?
Select all that apply.
A) Discuss the benefits of the procedure in simple terms to reduce fear and build trust.
B) Avoid long interactive sessions of 30 minutes, as shorter interactions are more effective for
young children.
C) Give the child needleless IV supplies to play with, helping to demystify the equipment and
reduce anxiety.
D) Provide a brief, age-appropriate explanation of the procedure without overwhelming the
child.
E) Allow the child to perform the procedure on a doll to promote understanding and a sense of
control.


Correct Answers: A, C, E


Explanation:


Discussing the benefits of the IV medication can help alleviate anxiety by showing the child that
the procedure is necessary for their health. Allowing the child to play with needleless IV supplies
provide a familiarization experience that reduces fear. Additionally, using a doll for role-play
helps the child visualize and understand the procedure, promoting a sense of control. These
techniques are effective in helping young children cope with medical procedures.

2. A nurse is preparing to assist the healthcare provider during a lumbar puncture
procedure for a school-age child who requires the procedure for diagnostic purposes.
Several important tasks need to be completed before, during and after the procedure to
ensure the child’s safety and comfort. Which of the following actions should be the nurse's
top priority to prevent complications during the lumbar puncture?
A) Monitoring the child's vital signs to detect any changes that could indicate complications.
B) Labeling the cerebrospinal fluid samples accurately to prevent any errors in diagnostic testing.
C) Maintaining the child’s correct position to prevent injury to the spinal cord, nerves or blood
vessels.
D) Providing emotional support to the child by offering reassurance and helping reduce anxiety.


Correct Answer: C) Maintaining the child’s correct position to prevent injury to the
spinal cord, nerves or blood vessels.


Explanation:
The greatest risk during a lumbar puncture procedure is potential injury to the spinal cord, nerves
or surrounding blood vessels if the child moves unexpectedly. Therefore, the nurse’s primary
responsibility is to ensure that the child remains in the correct, stable position, commonly curled
up on their side with their knees drawn to the chest. This position allows the healthcare provider
to safely insert the needle between the vertebrae and collect cerebrospinal fluid without causing
trauma. While other tasks, such as labeling specimens, providing emotional support and
monitoring vital signs, are important, preventing physical injury by maintaining proper
positioning takes precedence. Ensuring the child remains still is important to avoid complications
such as nerve damage or bleeding.

3. A nurse is providing education to the parent of a 4-month-old infant who has been
diagnosed with oral candidiasis (thrush) and has received a prescription for nystatin. The
parent is also breastfeeding the infant. What important instructions should the nurse
include to ensure effective treatment, prevent recurrence and minimize the risk of
spreading the infection?
A) Continue giving nystatin for 2 weeks after the symptoms disappear to fully clear the infection
and prevent recurrence.


B) Do not try to wipe off the white patches from the infant’s tongue, as it can cause irritation and
allow the nystatin to clear the infection naturally.
C) Clean the infant’s pacifier after each use to avoid re-infection and ensure proper hygiene.


D) You can continue breastfeeding during treatment, but monitor your breasts for any signs of
infection and apply nystatin if recommended.


Correct Answer: A) Continue giving nystatin for 2 weeks after the symptoms disappear
to fully clear the infection and prevent recurrence.


Explanation:


To fully treat oral candidiasis, it is essential to continue nystatin for the full course of treatment,
even after the symptoms seem to improve. Stopping the medication too soon can result in
incomplete eradication of the infection, leading to recurrence. Thorough cleaning of pacifiers and
feeding equipment after each use helps prevent re-infection and breastfeeding can be safely
continued with proper care. The white patches should not be forcefully removed, as this can
cause irritation or injury to the infant's mouth. Nystatin will work to resolve the infection without
manual intervention.
