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?

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
The nurse is performing an otoscopic examination on a child. Which are normal findings the nurse should expect? (Select all that apply.)

Question 3 of 5
A 3-year-old child, previously potty-trained, becomes a bed-wetter again during a hospital stay. Which explanation should the nurse provide to the parents?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: During a hospital stay, preschool children may exhibit regression in behaviors such as bed-wetting due to stress. It is important for parents to understand that this behavior is a common response to the hospital environment and should resolve once the child is back home. Therefore, the correct explanation for the nurse to provide to the parents is choice C. Choice A is incorrect because it inaccurately states that the child is no longer potty-trained. Choice B is incorrect as it assumes a medical issue without evidence. Choice D is incorrect as it dismisses the parents' concerns without addressing the underlying cause of the behavior.
Question 4 of 5
Where in the health history does a record of immunizations belong?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Immunizations are part of the patient's health history and are recorded under the history section to ensure the child is up-to-date with vaccinations.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is having difficulty communicating with a hospitalized 6-year-old child. Which technique should be most helpful?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Drawing allows the child to express feelings and thoughts non-verbally, which can be particularly effective for children who have difficulty articulating their emotions.
