Question 1 of 5
The healthcare professional is completing the intake and output record for a child admitted for fluid volume deficit. The child has had the following intake and output during the shift: 4 oz of Pedialyte, One-half of an 8-oz cup of clear orange Jell-O, Two graham crackers, 200 mL of D5 1/2 sodium chloride IV. Output: 345 mL of urine, 50 mL of loose stool. How many milliliters should the healthcare professional document as the client's total intake? Give the numerical answer only.

Question 4 of 5
A child with a history of seizures arrives in the emergency department (ED) in status epilepticus. Which is the priority nursing action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When a child with a history of seizures presents in status epilepticus, the priority nursing action is to maintain a patent airway. This is crucial to ensure proper oxygenation and ventilation. Establishing an intravenous line and performing other assessments are important but maintaining a patent airway takes precedence to prevent hypoxia and ensure the child's safety.
Question 5 of 5
A child with nephrotic syndrome has not experienced diuresis after a month on corticosteroids. What protocol can the nurse encourage to induce diuresis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: If diuresis has not occurred with corticosteroids in nephrotic syndrome, a diuretic like Furosemide (Lasix) is the appropriate choice to promote diuresis. Furosemide works by increasing urine production and reducing fluid retention. While Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory agent, it does not directly induce diuresis. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic and is not indicated for promoting diuresis in this scenario. Cyclophosphamide is an immunosuppressant, not an antisuppressant, and is not typically used to induce diuresis in nephrotic syndrome.
