Nursing Care of Children Final ATI Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which physiological acid-base balance complication would be most important for the nurse to assess in a patient with diarrhea?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is metabolic acidosis. Diarrhea can lead to the loss of bicarbonate, causing an imbalance in the acid-base status of the body, specifically resulting in metabolic acidosis. High serum pH (choice A) is incorrect as diarrhea-induced bicarbonate loss would lower pH, not increase it. Normal serum pH (choice B) is not the best answer as diarrhea can disrupt the acid-base balance. Metabolic alkalosis (choice C) is an alkaline state, which is less likely to be caused by diarrhea.

Question 2 of 5

When discussing discipline with the mother of a 4-year-old child, which should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Consistent parental control is crucial for effective discipline, providing clear expectations and consequences for behavior.

Question 3 of 5

Which actions by the nurse demonstrate overinvolvement with patients and their families? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Overinvolvement includes personal actions like buying clothes, showing favoritism, and spending off-duty time with patients, which can blur professional boundaries.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is taking vital signs on a group of assigned preschool-aged children. Which assessment finding would indicate the need for further action?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A heart rate of 120 beats per minute is high for a preschool-aged child and may indicate an underlying issue that requires further assessment. A respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute (choice A) is within the normal range for preschool children. Similarly, a heart rate of 89 beats per minute (choice B) falls within the expected range. A respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute (choice D) is slightly elevated but may not be as concerning as a heart rate of 120 beats per minute.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is teaching parents about the types of behaviors children exhibit when living with chronic violence. Which statement made by the parents indicates further teaching is needed?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Children exposed to chronic violence may struggle with stress and concentration but are less likely to consistently exhibit caring behaviors without intervention and support.
