Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
When should the dressing change for a post-op pediatric patient that is expected to be very painful and frightening be performed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In the treatment room.' Performing painful procedures in the treatment room helps the child associate their own room with safety and comfort, not pain. Choice A is incorrect because performing the dressing change in the patient's room may create a negative association with their safe space. Choice C is incorrect as it is important to ensure proper wound care and pain management before discharge. Choice D is incorrect as the playroom may not be equipped for a sterile dressing change.
Question 2 of 5
During the 2-month well-child checkup, the nurse expects the infant to respond to sound in which manner?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: At 2 months, infants typically react to loud noises with the Moro reflex, a startle response that is normal at this stage of development.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement best describes colic?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Colic is characterized by episodes of loud, inconsolable crying, often due to abdominal discomfort, and typically occurs in infants younger than 6 months. It is not related to poor mothering, nor does it necessarily result in weight loss.
Question 4 of 5
The parents of an infant with a cleft palate ask the nurse, "What follow-up care will our infant need after the repair?" Which is an accurate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After cleft palate repair, the child will need ongoing follow-up with audiologists, speech pathologists, and orthodontists to monitor hearing, speech development, and dental alignment.
Question 5 of 5
The LPN is assessing for fontanels on the head of a 6-month-old. Which fontanel is expected to still be present?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Anterior. The anterior fontanel usually remains open until about 12-18 months of age, while the posterior fontanel closes by 2-3 months. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as the posterior fontanel closes by 2-3 months of age, and the sphenoid and lambdoid fontanels are not typically assessed in routine infant head examinations.
