RN Nursing Care of Children Online Practice 2019 A Questions

Question 1 of 5

When caring for a child with an intravenous (IV) infusion, what is an appropriate nursing action?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Frequent monitoring of the IV site for signs of infiltration is crucial to prevent tissue damage, especially in pediatric patients. Changing the site every 24 hours is unnecessary unless complications arise, and using a macrodropper is not specific to pediatric care.

Question 2 of 5

Which disease requires strict isolation due to its mode of transmission?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is Chickenpox (choice B). Chickenpox is highly communicable and requires strict isolation to prevent the spread of the virus through direct contact, droplet transmission, and contaminated objects. Mumps (choice A) is also contagious but does not typically require strict isolation. Exanthema subitum (roseola) (choice C) and Erythema infectiosum (fifth disease) (choice D) are not as highly contagious as chickenpox and do not necessitate strict isolation.

Question 3 of 5

What is an approximate method of estimating output for a child who is not toilet trained?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Weighing diapers is the most accurate way to estimate urine output in a child who is not toilet trained. This method provides a measurable and reliable estimate of fluid output.

Question 4 of 5

What is known as providing families with information on normal growth and development and nurturing child-rearing practices before the child enters that stage of development?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Anticipatory guidance is the process of providing parents with information about expected developmental milestones and how to address common issues that may arise during different stages of their child's growth. This proactive approach helps parents prepare for and support their child's development. Holistic nursing (choice A) refers to a comprehensive and integrated approach to healthcare that considers the whole person. Evidence-based practice (choice B) involves making clinical decisions based on the best available evidence. Morbidity (choice C) refers to the prevalence of a disease in a population.

Question 5 of 5

Several types of long-term central venous access devices are used. What is a benefit of using an implanted port (e.g., Port-a-Cath)?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Implanted ports like the Port-a-Cath are fully implanted under the skin, allowing the child to maintain regular physical activities, including swimming, without the risk of dislodging the catheter. Piercing the skin is still required for access, and self-administration is more complex.
