Chapter 23: NURS 340 Preparation For The Nclex Questions
and Answers
Origin: Chapter 23, 1
1. The nurse is teaching the mother of a toddler about burn prevention.
Which response by the mother indicates a need for further teaching?
A) "We will leave fireworks displays to the professionals."
B) "I will set our water heater at 130 degrees."
C) "All sleepwear should be flame retardant."
D) "The handles of pots on the stove should face
inward." Ans: B
Feedback:
If the temperature of the water heater is set at 130 degrees, a child can be
burned significantly in only 30 seconds. The recommended maximal home
hot water heater temperature is 120 degrees. Leaving fireworks to the
professionals, using flame-retardant sleepwear, and turning the handles of
pots on the stove inward are correct.

2. The nurse is providing parental teaching about home care for an 8-
year-old boy with widespread sunburn on his back and shoulders.
Which response indicates a need for further teaching?
A) "Cool compresses may help cool the burn."
B) "He should manually peel off any flaking skin."
C) "Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen are helpful."
D) "He should avoid hot showers or baths for a couple
of days." Ans: B
Feedback:
If skin flaking occurs, the child should be discouraged from manually
"peeling" the flaked skin as it can cause further injury. Using cool
compresses, taking nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs, and avoiding hot
showers or baths are appropriate measures.

3. The nurse is providing care for a 14-year-old girl with severe acne. The
girl expresses sadness and distress about her appearance. Which

, response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
A) "Are you using your medicine every day?"
B) "Your condition will most likely improve in a year or two."
C) "Many people feel this way; I know someone who can help."
D) "If you have any scarring you can undergo
dermabrasion." Ans: C
Feedback:
Depression can occur as a result of body image disturbances with severe
acne. The nurse should provide emotional support to adolescents
undergoing acne therapy and refer teens for counseling if necessary.
Telling the girl that her condition is likely to improve in a year or two is not
helpful. Asking the girl whether she uses her medicine every day or
reminding her that her scars can be addressed with dermabrasion does not
address her feelings of sadness and distress.

baby with a flat, discolored area on the skin. The nurse documents
this as a:
A) papule.
B) macule.
C) vesicle.
D) scale.
Ans: B
Feedback:
A macule is a flat, discolored area on the skin. A papule is a small, raised
bump on the skin. A vesicle is a fluid-filled bump on the skin. Scaling is
flaking of the skin.

examination for signs of pressure ulcers, the nurse pays particular
attention to which area?

Ans: C
Feedback:
Common sites of pressure ulcers in hospitalized children include the
occiput and toes, while children who require wheelchairs for mobility
demonstrate pressure ulcers in the sacral or hip areas more frequently.
The upper arm is not a common site for pressure ulcers.
