Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
At which age can most infants sit steadily unsupported?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Most infants can sit steadily without support by 8 months, indicating advanced gross motor skill development.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a child after a cleft palate repair who is on a clear liquid diet. Which feeding device should the nurse use to deliver the clear liquid diet?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An open cup is recommended for feeding after cleft palate repair to prevent injury to the surgical site and avoid creating negative pressure, which could disrupt the repair.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 1-month-old infant diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease. Which treatment measure should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Surgical removal of the affected section of bowel. Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital condition where a portion of the large intestine lacks nerve cells, leading to difficulties in passing stool. The definitive treatment for this condition is the surgical removal of the affected section of the bowel. Barium enema (Choice A) may be used for diagnosis but is not a treatment. A high-fiber diet (Choice C) is not effective in managing Hirschsprung's disease. A permanent colostomy (Choice D) is not the initial treatment for this condition in infants.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is conducting discharge teaching to an adolescent with a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. What should the nurse include in the instructions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Avoiding sharing of towels and washcloths, using bleach when laundering, and taking daily baths with antibacterial soap are critical to prevent the spread of MRSA. Cold water is not effective for laundering in these cases.
Question 5 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?
