A 4-year-old presents with vomiting, lethargy, frequent urination, weight loss, and dry mucous
membranes. Vital signs reveal deep respirations at 44 breaths per minute, BP of 70/44 mm Hg,
and HR of 144 beats per minute. Which of the following laboratory values would be most
expected in this child?
Hypoglycemia (wrong)
Remediation feedback:
Children can present with new onset diabetes in diabetic ketoacidosis. Manifestations include
signs of dehydration ( dry mucous membranes, hypotension, tachycardia), incontinence
(polyuria), vomiting, abdominal pain, Kussmaul respirations (to counter the acidosis),
polydipsia, anorexia, and weight loss. Expected laboratory values would reveal an acidotic
state with a pH level below 7.3, an elevated serum bIcarbonate level, and an elevated blood
glucose level > 200 mg.dL.
An 18-month-old is seen for fever, slight circumoral cyanosis, and wheezing noted on
auscultation in the right upper lobe of the lung field after a choking event 4 days ago. The white
blood cell count is elevated and the patient noted to be tachypneic, tachycardic, agitated, and
has an increased respiratory effort. At the time of the event, the patient was started on
antibiotics with subsequent increasing manifestations instead of improvement. Which of the
following would be considered to be definitive treatment for the suspected diagnosis?
Computed tomography (wrong)
Remediation feedback:
,Manifestations of a lower airway foreign body include a choking incident with subsequent
failure to improve on antibiotics. Wheezing or decreased lung sounds in one area of the
pulmonary system is a high indicator for a foreign body along with signs of hypoxia such as
cyanosis, tachypnea, tachycardia, increased respiratory effort, agitation or lethargy, and
elevated white blood cell counts indicating an infectious process. The definitive treatment
would be a bronchoscopy in order to retrieve the suspected foreign body instead of
diagnostic tests to locate the foreign body itself.

a bag-mask device. Once return of spontaneous circulation has been confirmed, which of the

pitched wheezes are audible and auscultated on inspiration and expiration. What medication

intervention includes an inhaled short-acting beta agonist.

listlessness, and fever. Assessment reveals a crying infant, HR 160 beats/minute, RR 52
breaths/minute, rectal temperature of 96.0 F (35.5 C), and a bulging anterior fontanel. Capillary
refill is 4 seconds. Based on these findings what is the most likely diagnostic test the nurse
should anticipate?
Lumbar puncture
,A 12-year-old is being prepped for surgical intervention of acute appendicitis. Which of the
following intravenous medication orders should the nurse question?
Hydromorphone (wrong)
Remediation feedback:
Ketorolac is an appropriate medication for moderate to severe pain, however, it should not
be used pre-operatively due to its potential to increase the bleeding risk.
A 17-year-old female arrives in the ED with her boyfriend who states she is pregnant and having
vaginal bleeding. The patient is unsure of the gestational age and has not had any prenatal
treatment. The patient is quiet and lets her boyfriend answer most of the questions. Which of

A child with an electrical injury is seen 1 hour post event. Which of the following types of
specimen samples would provide visual information regarding a potential complication of this
injury?
Sputum (wrong)
Remediation feedback:
, Electrical injuries, though they may appear to be small, can produce large amounts of damage
internally, including muscle damage. Myoglobin is excreted in the urine and is evidenced by
dark, red-tinged urine.
Parents with an infant requiring multiple laboratory tests, radiographic studies, and invasive
procedures appear to be distressed and withdrawn. Which of the following interventions would
