ATI Nursing Care of Children

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, parallel play. Parallel play is observed when children play alongside each other but do not directly interact. In this scenario, each child is engaged in their own activity without engaging or influencing each other's play, which characterizes parallel play. Cooperative play (choice A) involves children playing together towards a common goal, which is not evident in the given situation. Solitary play (choice B) is when a child plays alone, unrelated to the presence of others. Associative play (choice D) involves more interaction and sharing of toys between children, which is not happening in the described play scenario.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The review of systems is a critical part of a health history, helping to identify any symptoms or conditions that need further evaluation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Adolescents may withdraw from social interactions, worry about the impact of the divorce, and express strong emotions such as anger or sadness.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tanner staging. Tanner staging is a tool specifically used to assess sexual maturity in adolescents based on the development of secondary sexual characteristics. The Tanner scale ranges from stage 1 (prepubertal) to stage 5 (adult maturity). This tool helps healthcare providers evaluate the physical development and sexual maturation of individuals. Choice A, the Denver II Developmental Screening, is used to assess developmental milestones in children. Choice C, antibody testing, is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of specific antibodies in the blood. Choice D, the nursing process, is a systematic method that nurses use to deliver patient-centered care, involving assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct response is A. Solid foods, especially iron-fortified cereals, are introduced to meet the infant's increased nutritional needs, including iron, which breast milk alone may not provide adequately. Choice B is incorrect because the extrusion reflex is related to the tongue-thrust reflex, not the nutritional needs of the infant. Choice C is incorrect as breastfeeding does not become painful when the infant gets more teeth, and it is not a reason for introducing solid foods. Choice D is incorrect as the infant's interest in trying new skills is not a primary reason for introducing solid foods at this age.
