Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
At what point in the hospitalization of the pediatric patient should discharge planning and teaching begin?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Discharge planning should begin on admission to ensure that all necessary teaching and preparations are completed in a timely manner. Starting discharge planning early allows for a comprehensive assessment of the patient's needs, coordination with the healthcare team, and adequate time for patient and family education. Choice A, post-operatively, is too late in the process and may lead to rushed planning. Choice B, right at discharge, may not allow enough time for thorough preparation. Choice C, on the morning of discharge, also does not provide sufficient time for effective planning and education.
Question 2 of 5
An infant requires surgery for repair of a cleft lip. An important priority of the preoperative nursing care is which?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Performing a baseline physical and behavioral assessment is crucial to determine the infant's current health status and to identify any potential risks before surgery.
Question 3 of 5
Latex allergy is suspected in a child with spina bifida. What are appropriate nursing interventions to include in care of this patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Avoid using any latex product.' In the case of a suspected latex allergy, it is crucial to prevent exposure to latex products to avoid allergic reactions. Choice B is incorrect because there are no truly non-allergenic latex products. Choice C is irrelevant to the situation described in the question, as the child does not have asthma. Choice D is also incorrect because desensitization is not an immediate option for managing a suspected latex allergy.
Question 4 of 5
By which age should the nurse expect that an infant will be able to pull to a standing position?

Rationale: Pulling to a standing position typically occurs between 11 to 12 months, marking the progression towards walking.
