Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to perform a physical assessment on a 10-year-old girl. The nurse gives her the option of her mother staying in the room or leaving. This action should be considered which?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: It is appropriate to give a 10-year-old the choice of having a parent present or not during an exam, respecting the child's growing need for privacy.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is seeing an adolescent and the parents in the clinic for the first time. Which should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Introducing oneself is the first step in establishing a rapport and setting a professional tone for the interaction.
Question 3 of 5
At what age is binocularity, the ability to fixate on one visual field with both eyes simultaneously, typically achieved?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Binocularity, the ability to fixate on one visual field with both eyes simultaneously, is typically achieved by the age of 3 to 4 months. Achieving binocularity at 1 month is too early for most infants as their visual system is still developing. Similarly, 6 to 8 months and 12 months are beyond the normal age range for achieving binocularity, and delayed achievement could indicate potential issues like strabismus, which may lead to visual impairment if not addressed.
Question 4 of 5
When the nurse interviews an adolescent, which is especially important?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Allowing adolescents to express their feelings helps them feel heard and supported, which is crucial for effective communication.
Question 5 of 5
