ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions

Question 1 of 5

Because children younger than 5 years are egocentric, the nurse should do which when communicating with them?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Focusing communication directly on the child aligns with their egocentric nature and helps engage them in the conversation.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is discussing growth and development with a group of parents. What should the nurse say about developmental milestones?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Age-specific tasks that most children can do at a certain time." Developmental milestones are specific tasks or abilities that most children can achieve at a certain age range. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because developmental milestones are not just about increase in body size, the direction of growth, or the age group of children. They are more focused on the expected tasks and skills children can accomplish at particular ages.

Question 3 of 5

Which muscle is contraindicated for the administration of immunizations in infants and young children?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The dorsogluteal muscle is contraindicated for immunizations in infants and young children due to the risk of injury to the sciatic nerve. The anterolateral thigh is the preferred site.

Question 4 of 5

A thorough systemic physical assessment is necessary in the extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW) infant to detect what?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants, a thorough systemic physical assessment is crucial to detect subtle changes that may indicate an underlying problem. These infants are highly vulnerable and may show signs of stress through changes in feeding behavior, activity, color, oxygen saturation, or vital signs. Monitoring weight in ELBW infants primarily reflects genitourinary function rather than fluid retention. Difficulties in maternal-child attachment are important but are usually assessed during parental visits and are not the primary focus of a systemic physical assessment. Changes in the Apgar score are used immediately after birth to assess the transition to extrauterine life and are not as relevant in the following 24 hours to detect ongoing subtle issues.

Question 5 of 5

Which data should be included in a health history?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The review of systems is a critical part of a health history, helping to identify any symptoms or conditions that need further evaluation.
