ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions
Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is performing an otoscopic examination on a child. Which are normal findings the nurse should expect? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A well-defined light reflex, a small concave spot, and a grayish, nontransparent tympanic membrane are normal findings during an otoscopic examination in a child.
Question 3 of 5
The parents of an 8-month-old infant voice concern to the nurse that their infant is not developing motor skills as the infant should. What question would be appropriate for the nurse to ask in determining if their fears are warranted?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. By 8 months, an infant should be able to transfer objects between hands, which is an important motor skill milestone. This action shows coordination and developing fine motor skills. Choices B, C, and D involve more advanced motor skills that are typically not expected at 8 months of age. Drinking from a cup, holding a pencil to scribble, and engaging in purposeful play with toys are skills that develop later in infancy.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer a prescribed, as-needed antiemetic drug for a child diagnosed with cancer. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administering the antiemetic prophylactically before the next dose of chemotherapy is the most appropriate action. This approach helps prevent nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy. Waiting until the child is already nauseated, as stated in option A, is less effective as it is reactive rather than proactive. Administering the drug after chemotherapy, as in option C, may not be as beneficial in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Option D, administering the drug only if the child is experiencing diarrhea, is not relevant to the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is having difficulty communicating with a hospitalized 6-year-old child. Which technique should be most helpful?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Drawing allows the child to express feelings and thoughts non-verbally, which can be particularly effective for children who have difficulty articulating their emotions.
