ATI Nursing Care of Children Questions

Question 1 of 5

With the National Center for Health Statistics criteria, which body mass index (BMI)-for-age percentiles should indicate the patient is at risk for being overweight?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A BMI-for-age at the 85th percentile indicates a child is at risk for being overweight, according to the National Center for Health Statistics criteria.

Question 2 of 5

After teaching a group of nursing students about developmental milestones for children between the ages of 1 and 4 years, the instructor determines that the teaching was successful when the students identify which of the following as a gross motor developmental milestone that occurs between 2 to 3 years of age?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Climbing is a gross motor milestone typically achieved between 2 to 3 years of age. It involves coordination and strength. Jumping in place is usually mastered around 2 years of age. Standing on one foot with help is a skill that emerges around 3 years. Riding a tricycle typically occurs closer to 3 years and involves coordination and balance, which are more refined skills compared to climbing at an earlier age.

Question 3 of 5

Rectal temperatures are indicated in which situation?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rectal temperatures provide the most accurate measurement of core body temperature and are therefore indicated when accuracy is essential.

Question 4 of 5

A four-year-old child has a history of repeated otitis media despite antibiotic treatment. Which treatment measure should the nurse discuss with the parents?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: The insertion of tympanostomy (pressure equalizing) tubes. This treatment measure is appropriate for a child with recurrent otitis media as it helps drain fluid from the middle ear and prevent further infections. Adenoidectomy (choice B) involves the removal of the adenoids, which may not directly address the ear infections. Antibiotic treatment (choice A) has already been ineffective in this case, so alternative measures are necessary. Tonsillectomy (choice D) is not typically indicated for otitis media unless there are specific reasons such as enlarged tonsils contributing to the condition.

Question 5 of 5

What is the number one leading cause of death in children over 1 year of age?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Accidents, such as motor vehicle accidents, drowning, and falls, are the primary cause of death in children over 1 year of age. While congenital anomalies can be a significant cause of mortality in infants, they are less common in older children. Homicide and suicide are serious issues but are not as prevalent as accidents in causing death among children over 1 year of age.
