ENPC Practice Exam (100% Correct)
Graded A+ |Verified Study Set|
Describe the essential steps for conducting a pediatric primary assessment in an emergency setting.
The essential steps include ensuring scene safety, evaluating the airway, breathing, and
circulation (ABCs), performing a brief history, and assessing neurological status to identify any immediate
life threats.
What considerations should be taken into account when assessing a toddler's vital signs in an
emergency?
Considerations include recognizing normal ranges for heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood
pressure based on age, utilizing appropriate equipment for size, and ensuring a calming environment to
reduce anxiety.
Explain the role of play in assessing pain in a young child during an emergency evaluation.
Play allows children to express feelings and experiences non-verbally, providing insights into their
pain levels and facilitating a more accurate assessment while making the experience less intimidating.
What are the signs of respiratory failure in a pediatric patient, and how should the nurse respond?
Signs include retractions, grunting, cyanosis, and altered mental status. The nurse should
immediately ensure airway patency, provide supplemental oxygen, and prepare for possible advanced
airway intervention.
Discuss how to effectively communicate with a pre-verbal child during an emergency assessment.
Use a calm tone, gentle touch, and simple visual cues; engage caregivers to help interpret the
child’s needs and feelings, fostering a supportive atmosphere during the assessment.

Understanding developmental stages aids in anticipating behavior, communication styles, and
emotional responses, enabling tailored approaches that enhance assessment and treatment
effectiveness.
Outline the nursing interventions for managing a pediatric patient with anaphylaxis.
Interventions include administering epinephrine intramuscularly, ensuring airway management,
providing supplemental oxygen, and monitoring vital signs while preparing for potential fluid
resuscitation.
What are the indicators of a febrile seizure in pediatric patients, and what management steps should be
taken?
Indicators include a history of fever, generalized tonic-clonic movements, and postictal confusion.
Management involves protecting the child from injury, ensuring airway patency, and providing
antipyretics post-seizure.
How can the nurse assess hydration status in a pediatric patient quickly?
The nurse can assess hydration status by evaluating skin turgor, mucous membranes, capillary
refill time, urine output, and observing for signs of lethargy or irritability.
Discuss the importance of family-centered care in the pediatric emergency setting.
Family-centered care prioritizes collaboration with family members, enhances communication,
provides emotional support, and ensures that families are involved in care decisions, promoting better
outcomes.
