Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
A child with nephrotic syndrome is severely edematous. The primary healthcare provider has placed the child on bed rest. Which nursing intervention should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Repositioning the child every two hours is essential to prevent pressure ulcers and promote circulation, especially when the child is on bed rest and experiencing severe edema. Monitoring blood pressure is important but does not need to be done every 30 minutes unless indicated. Limiting visitors and encouraging fluids are not directly related to managing edema and preventing complications from immobility. Therefore, choice B is the most appropriate nursing intervention in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment on a 10-week-old infant. The nurse understands that the developmental characteristic of hearing at this age is which?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: By 10 weeks, infants typically turn their heads to the side to locate the source of a sound made at ear level.
Question 3 of 5
Which is usually the only symptom of pediculosis capitis (head lice)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Itching is typically the primary and most common symptom of pediculosis capitis due to the lice bites on the scalp.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a child with Neuroblastoma. Where is the tumor most commonly located?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Neuroblastoma is a cancer that commonly originates in the adrenal glands located in the abdomen. It can also occur in nerve tissues along the spine, but it is most frequently found in the abdominal region. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as Neuroblastoma typically arises from neural crest cells in the adrenal glands or sympathetic ganglia, not in the bones, kidneys, or cortex.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is interviewing the father of a 10-month-old girl. The child is playing on the floor when she notices an electrical outlet and reaches up to touch it. Her father says no firmly and moves her away from the outlet. The nurse should use this opportunity to teach the father what?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At 10 months, children are beginning to understand simple commands like "no." It is important for parents to reinforce this understanding consistently to help the child learn about boundaries and safety.
