Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider is planning care for a patient receiving morphine sulfate via a patient-controlled analgesia pump. Which intervention may be required due to a potential adverse effect of this drug?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Morphine can lead to urinary retention and urinary hesitancy. If a patient shows signs of bladder distention or inability to void, the healthcare provider should be notified, and urinary catheterization may be necessary. Administering a cough suppressant or an anti-diarrheal is not typically required to address adverse effects of morphine. Liver function tests (LFTs) are not directly related to the potential adverse effects of morphine on the urinary system.
Question 2 of 5
What will the nurse caution the parents of a child who has had a nephrectomy that he will have to avoid?

Rationale: Children who have only one kidney should avoid contact sports to prevent injury to that remaining organ.
Question 3 of 5
A child is being treated for dehydration with intravenous fluids. The child currently weighs 13 kg and is estimated to have lost 7% of his normal body weight. The nurse is double-checking the IV rate the healthcare provider prescribed. The formula the healthcare provider used was for maintenance fluids: 1000 mL for 10 kg of body weight plus 50 mL for every kilogram over 10 for 24 hours. Replacement fluid is the percentage of lost body weight � 10 per kg of body weight. According to the calculation for maintenance plus replacement fluid, which hourly IV rate will the nurse implement for 24 hours?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For 13 kg, the maintenance fluid is 1150 mL (1000 mL for first 10 kg + 3*50 mL for the remaining 3 kg). Replacement fluid is 910 mL (0.07 * 13000 mL). Total fluid is 2060 mL, divided by 24 hours is 86 mL/hr.
Question 4 of 5
In an immunization clinic, which patient will the nurse identify as not eligible to receive routine immunizations?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should identify the 4-year-old with a fever and upper respiratory tract infection as not eligible to receive routine immunizations. It is contraindicated to administer vaccines in the presence of moderate to severe illness, whether with or without fever, to prevent potential complications or reduced vaccine efficacy.
Question 5 of 5
Which frame of reference emphasizes techniques to teach children movement that resemble coaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct frame of reference that emphasizes techniques to teach children movement resembling coaching is Motor control/motor learning. This approach focuses on improving movement skills through techniques that are similar to coaching methods. It helps children develop and refine their motor skills in a structured and goal-oriented manner. Rehabilitation, Biomechanical, and Ayres' sensory integration have different emphases and objectives in therapy, making them incorrect choices for this question.
