Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
A new parent, when asked by a nurse, explains that the 4-month-old infant has been nursing regularly every 3 to 4 hours and seems satisfied. However, the parent recently introduced solid food in the form of unbuttered popcorn to the infant as a supplement. What should be the primary nursing concern in this situation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The primary nursing concern in this situation is the risk for aspiration. Popcorn is a choking hazard for infants, as their airway is not fully developed to handle solid foods like popcorn. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the main focus should be on the immediate risk of aspiration due to the inappropriate solid food given to the infant, rather than on nutritional imbalances or readiness for enhanced nutrition.
Question 2 of 5
At a well-child visit, parents ask the nurse how to know if a daycare facility is a good choice for their infant. Which observation should the nurse stress as especially important to consider when making the selection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ensuring that providers practice proper handwashing after diaper changes is crucial in preventing the spread of infections and maintaining a hygienic environment for the infants.
Question 3 of 5
In planning care for children, the nurse considers children's anxiety about hospitalization. Which measure should be included in the child's plan of care to help reduce anxiety?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Therapeutic play should be included in the child's plan of care to help reduce anxiety during hospitalization. It is an effective strategy that allows children to express their feelings, understand procedures, and reduce anxiety levels. Time-out (choice B) is not suitable for addressing anxiety related to hospitalization. Counseling (choice C) may be beneficial but is not as specifically tailored to reduce anxiety in the hospital setting as therapeutic play. Movies (choice D) may provide a temporary distraction but do not actively involve the child in addressing their emotions and fears associated with hospitalization.
Question 4 of 5
A 4-month-old infant is discharged home after surgery for the repair of a cleft lip. What should instructions to the parents include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pain management is essential postoperatively to reduce crying, which could place strain on the surgical site. Feeding and holding the infant are allowed, but care should be taken to avoid placing pressure on the suture line.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is assessing a child suspected of having pinworms. Which is the most common symptom the nurse expects to assess?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Intense perianal itching is the most common symptom of pinworm infection, especially at night when the female worms lay their eggs
