ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions
Question 1 of 5
A 6-year-old child has patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) for pain management after orthopedic surgery. The parents are worried that their child will be in pain. What should your explanation to the parents include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: PCA pumps are designed to deliver both a continuous baseline dose and patient-activated bolus doses, which can help manage pain effectively while minimizing the risk of overdose.
Question 2 of 5
What is an appropriate screening test for hearing that the nurse can administer to a 5-year-old child?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pure tone audiometry is an appropriate and effective screening test for hearing in a 5-year-old child, helping to assess the ability to hear various frequencies and volumes.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer a prescribed, as-needed antiemetic drug for a child diagnosed with cancer. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administering the antiemetic prophylactically before the next dose of chemotherapy is the most appropriate action. This approach helps prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy. Waiting until the child is already nauseated, as stated in option A, is less effective as it is reactive rather than proactive. Administering the drug after chemotherapy, as in option C, may not be as beneficial in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Option D, administering the drug only if the child is experiencing diarrhea, is not relevant to the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is performing an oral examination on a preschool child. Which strategies should the nurse use to encourage the child to open the mouth for the examination? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using a cotton swab, allowing the child to observe, and demonstrating on someone else are effective ways to encourage a preschooler to open their mouth for examination.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is seeing an adolescent and the parents in the clinic for the first time. Which should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Introducing oneself is the first step in establishing a rapport and setting a professional tone for the interaction.
