ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions

Question 1 of 5

The nurse's approach when introducing hospital equipment to a preschooler who seems afraid should be based on which principle?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Preschoolers may engage in magical thinking and believe inanimate objects are alive, so the nurse should explain the equipment in a way that reduces fear.

Question 2 of 5

Which explains the importance of detecting strabismus in young children?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Undetected strabismus can lead to amblyopia, where the brain favors one eye over the other, potentially resulting in permanent vision loss in the affected eye.

Question 3 of 5

An infant is born with anencephaly. Based on the knowledge of this diagnosis, what information does the nurse consider when interacting with the family?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'The condition is incompatible with life.' Anencephaly is the most serious neural tube defect where both hemispheres of the brain are absent. It is incompatible with life, as there are no medical or surgical treatment options available. While some infants with mature brain stem function can maintain vital functions for a short period, anencephaly is ultimately not survivable. Choice A is incorrect as there are no treatment options for anencephaly. Choice B is incorrect as immediate surgery is not necessary for this condition. Choice D is incorrect as an infant with anencephaly will not have permanent disabilities since the condition is not compatible with life.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is performing an oral examination on a preschool child. Which strategies should the nurse use to encourage the child to open the mouth for the examination? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Using a cotton swab, allowing the child to observe, and demonstrating on someone else are effective ways to encourage a preschooler to open their mouth for examination.

Question 5 of 5

What is an appropriate screening test for hearing that the nurse can administer to a 5-year-old child?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pure tone audiometry is an appropriate and effective screening test for hearing in a 5-year-old child, helping to assess the ability to hear various frequencies and volumes.
