ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a 3-year-old child. Which assessment finding would the nurse identify as abnormal?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Falling when bending over to touch toes could indicate a developmental delay or a balance issue that may need further assessment. Choices A, B, and D are typical developmental milestones for a 3-year-old child. Pedaling a tricycle without assistance, unscrewing a bolt on a toy, and building a tower of 10 cubes are all age-appropriate activities for a child of this age.
Question 2 of 5
Where in the health history does a record of immunizations belong?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Immunizations are part of the patient's health history and are recorded under the history section to ensure the child is up-to-date with vaccinations.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is interviewing the mother of an infant. The mother reports, "I had a difficult delivery, and my baby was born prematurely." This information should be recorded under which heading?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The history section of the health record includes details about pregnancy, labor, and delivery, as these factors can have significant implications for the child's health.
Question 4 of 5
A 12-month-old child presents to the clinic for a well visit after missing several appointments. The child began her immunization schedule but has missed several follow-up appointments and doses of immunizations. What is the most appropriate nursing intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Children who began primary immunization at the recommended age but fail to receive all the doses do not need to begin the series again but should receive only the missed doses. The child may receive missed vaccinations on a catch-up schedule per CDC guidelines.
Question 5 of 5
Which medication should the nurse expect to administer to a child diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome to decrease proteinuria?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prednisone, a corticosteroid, is the primary treatment for Nephrotic Syndrome as it helps to reduce inflammation in the kidneys and decrease proteinuria by stabilizing the glomerular filtration barrier. Albumin is a protein replacement therapy and would not directly decrease proteinuria. Penicillin is an antibiotic that treats bacterial infections and is not used to manage Nephrotic Syndrome. Furosemide is a diuretic that helps in managing fluid retention but does not specifically target proteinuria in Nephrotic Syndrome.
