Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions

Question 1 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.

Question 2 of 5

A 4-month-old infant is discharged home after surgery for the repair of a cleft lip. What should instructions to the parents include?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pain management is essential postoperatively to reduce crying, which could place strain on the surgical site. Feeding and holding the infant are allowed, but care should be taken to avoid placing pressure on the suture line.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is discussing development and play activities with the parent of a 2-month-old boy. Which statement by the parent would indicate a correct understanding of the teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: At 2 months, infants are most stimulated by visual and auditory activities, such as a music box or soft mobiles. These activities help in sensory development and are appropriate for this age.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is performing an assessment on a 10-week-old infant. The nurse understands that the developmental characteristic of hearing at this age is which?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: By 10 weeks, infants typically turn their heads to the side to locate the source of a sound made at ear level.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is caring for a child after a cleft palate repair who is on a clear liquid diet. Which feeding device should the nurse use to deliver the clear liquid diet?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: An open cup is recommended for feeding after cleft palate repair to prevent injury to the surgical site and avoid creating negative pressure, which could disrupt the repair.
