Question 1 of 5

All of the following statements are true regarding the value of play except:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Play is an effective way to establish rapport with children as it helps build trust, communication, and a positive relationship. Choices A, B, and C are true statements about the value of play: A) Play helps preschoolers develop moral values by promoting social skills, cooperation, and empathy. B) Play aids in developing muscle coordination, utilizing energy, and fostering self-confidence through physical activities. C) 'Play is the work of children' emphasizes the importance of play in a child's development, learning, and creativity. Therefore, D is the correct answer as it incorrectly suggests that play is not an effective way for the nurse to establish rapport with the child.

Question 2 of 5

Where in the health history does a record of immunizations belong?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Immunizations are part of the patient's health history and are recorded under the history section to ensure the child is up-to-date with vaccinations.

Question 3 of 5

When transitioning from intravenous to oral morphine, what would the nurse anticipate regarding the oral dose in comparison to the intravenous dose to achieve equianalgesia?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When switching from intravenous to oral morphine, a higher oral dose is required to achieve equianalgesia due to significant metabolism from the first-pass effect. Choosing the same oral dose as the intravenous dose would provide less pain relief. Opting for a dose greater than the intravenous dose is necessary to achieve the same analgesic effect. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.

Question 4 of 5

Which is the single most important factor to consider when communicating with children?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The child's developmental level is the most important factor, as it determines how information should be communicated and what the child can understand.

Question 5 of 5

A teenager is accompanied by his mother to the annual physical examination. The nurse is aware of privacy issues related to the teenager. While the mother is in the room, which topic should the nurse avoid?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Cigarette smoking. Discussing sensitive topics like cigarette smoking in the presence of a parent may inhibit the teenager's willingness to be open and honest. It's important to provide an opportunity for the teenager to speak privately with the healthcare provider. Choices A, B, and D are more general topics that can be discussed openly in front of the parent without compromising the teenager's privacy or comfort.
