Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
At what age is it safe to give infants whole milk instead of commercial infant formula?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Whole milk should not be introduced before 12 months because it lacks the necessary nutrients, such as iron, that infants need for proper growth and development.
Question 2 of 5
According to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the school-age child is in which stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Industry vs. inferiority.' According to Erikson's theory, school-age children (approximately 6-12 years old) are in the stage of industry vs. inferiority. In this stage, children focus on developing a sense of competence and productivity. Choice B, 'Autonomy vs. shame and doubt,' is incorrect as it refers to the stage that occurs during early childhood (1-3 years old). Choice C, 'Identity vs. role diffusion,' pertains to adolescence (12-18 years old). Choice D, 'Trust vs. mistrust,' is related to the stage of infancy (0-1 year old). Therefore, option A is the most appropriate stage for school-age children in Erikson's theory.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a nursing student about standard precautions. Which statement made by the student indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Standard precautions are necessary when dealing with blood, body fluids, and potentially infectious materials. They are not required for routine administration of oral medications unless there is a potential exposure risk.
Question 4 of 5
The parents of a 2-month-old boy are concerned about spoiling their son by picking him up when he cries. What is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Comforting and cuddling a 2-month-old baby when they cry helps build trust and security. At this age, responding to cries does not lead to spoiling, but rather supports healthy emotional development.
Question 5 of 5
The mother of a 3-month-old breastfed infant asks about giving her baby water because it is summer and very warm. What should the nurse tell her?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Breast milk provides adequate hydration, even in warm weather, so additional fluids like water are not necessary and can interfere with breastfeeding.
