Nursing Care of Children ATI Questions

Question 1 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 2 of 5

What is most important in the management of cellulitis?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Oral or parenteral antibiotics are essential in treating cellulitis to eliminate the infection. Topical antibiotics are not sufficient, and incision and drainage are only for abscesses.

Question 3 of 5

Which inpatient pediatric patient would not be able to go to the playroom due to their physical condition?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. A child with chickenpox should not go to the playroom due to being contagious, as the virus can easily spread to other children. Children with fractures (choice B), new-onset diabetes mellitus (choice C), or postoperative appendectomy (choice D) do not pose a risk of spreading an infectious disease, so they can safely go to the playroom.

Question 4 of 5

At an 8-month-old well-baby visit, the parent tells the nurse that her infant falls asleep at night during the last bottle feeding but wakes up when moved to the infant's crib. What is the most appropriate response for the nurse to make?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Encouraging the baby to fall asleep in the crib while still awake can help establish healthy sleep habits and reduce night waking.

Question 5 of 5

By which age should the nurse expect that an infant will be able to pull to a standing position?
