Question 1 of 5

Which clinical manifestations should the nurse expect in a child diagnosed with nephroblastoma?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypertension. Nephroblastoma, also known as Wilms' tumor, often causes hypertension due to its impact on the kidney, which plays a role in regulating blood pressure. Atrial fibrillation (choice A) and endocarditis (choice B) are not typically associated with nephroblastoma. Hyperlipidemia (choice C) is also not a common clinical manifestation of nephroblastoma.

Question 2 of 5

The nurse is teaching parents about potential causes of colic in infancy. Which should the nurse include in the teaching session?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Overeating, swallowing excessive air (leading to frequent burping), and parental smoking are known to contribute to colic in infants. Understimulation is not typically associated with colic.

Question 3 of 5

Prior to giving a hospitalized pre-schooler an injection, the nurse gives the child's teddy bear a "shot" first. This method is known as:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Dramatic play. Dramatic play involves children acting out experiences to better understand them and reduce fear. In this scenario, by giving the teddy bear a 'shot' first, the nurse is engaging in dramatic play to help the child comprehend and feel more comfortable with the upcoming injection.\n A: Critical play involves critical thinking and problem-solving, not acting out scenarios.\n B: Role play typically involves pretending to be someone else, not necessarily acting out a specific experience.\n C: Diversionary activity aims to distract or redirect attention, which is different from the purpose of dramatic play in this context.

Question 4 of 5

An awake, alert 4-year-old child has just arrived at the emergency department after an ingestion of aspirin at home. The practitioner has ordered activated charcoal. The nurse administers charcoal in which manner?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Mixing activated charcoal with a flavorful beverage in an opaque container can help mask the taste and encourage the child to ingest it. Using an opaque container can prevent the child from seeing the unappealing appearance of the charcoal mixture, increasing compliance.

Question 5 of 5

A young mother asks if her 9-month-old can begin drinking cow's milk instead of formula. You explain that:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Breast milk or formula should be used for now because whole cow's milk is not recommended for infants under 1 year. Cow's milk is not suitable for infants under 1 year of age as it lacks essential nutrients like iron and can lead to iron deficiency. Therefore, it is important to continue with breast milk or formula to ensure the baby's nutritional needs are met. Choice A is incorrect as cow's milk is not easier to digest than formula for infants. Choice C is incorrect as the type of milk, whether whole or skim, is not the primary concern at this age. Choice D is incorrect as cow's milk can actually increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia in infants.
