Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
In terms of gross motor development, what should the nurse expect an infant age 5 months to do?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: At 5 months, infants typically can turn from their abdomen to their back. Rolling from back to abdomen and sitting erect without support occur later.
Question 2 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.
