1. A nurse is collecting data from a 9-month-old infant. Which of the
following findings would require further intervention?
A. Positive Babinski reflex
Rationale: The Babinski reflex disappears after 1 year of
age. Therefore, a 9-month-old infant with a positive
Babinski reflex is a finding that does not require
further intervention.
B. Positive Moro reflex
Rationale: The Moro reflex disappears approximately at
3-4 months of age. Therefore, a 9- month-old
infant with a positive Moro reflex is a finding that
requires further intervention
C. Negative Doll’s eye reflex
Rationale: A negative Doll’s eye reflex is a normal finding.
Therefore, a 9-month-old infant with a negative
Doll’s eye reflex is a finding that does not require
further intervention.

D. Negative Crawl reflex
Rationale: A negative Crawl reflex disappears after 6
months of age. Therefore, a 9-month-old infant with
a negative Crawl reflex is a finding that does not
require further intervention.
2. A nurse is reinforcing teaching a parent of a child who has a
fracture of the epiphyseal plate. Which of the following is an
appropriate statement by the nurse?
A. “The blood supply to the bone is disrupted.”
Rationale: Children heal fractures in less time than adults
because of the generous blood supply to the bone
and the epiphyseal plate.
B. “Normal bone growth can be affected.”
Rationale: A fracture of the epiphyseal plate can affect
growth in a child. Therefore, it needs to be detected
and treated rapidly.
C. “Bone marrow can be lost though the fracture.”
Rationale: The epiphyseal plate is the cartilage growth
plate. Therefore, bone marrow is not lost through
this type of fracture.

3. A nurse is collecting data from an infant. Which of the following is
a clinical manifestation of pyloric stenosis?
A. Absent bowel sounds
Rationale: Visible gastric peristaltic waves moving from
the left to the right are a clinical manifestation of

Rationale: Vomiting causes a depletion of fluid and
electrolytes, therefore a decrease in serum sodium
levels is a clinical manifestation of pyloric stenosis.
C. Projectile vomiting after feedings

Rationale: Pyloric stenosis is a narrowing and thickening
of the pyloric canal between the stomach and the

umbilicus is a clinical manifestation of pyloric
stenosis.
4. A nurse is planning care for a child who has juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the
nurse to take?
A. Administer opioids on a schedule.
Rationale: NSAIDs are used to control pain. Therefore,
administering opioids on a schedule is not an
appropriate action for the nurse to take.
B. Schedule prolonged periods of complete joint immobilization daily.
Rationale: Physical mobility will assist in preserving function and
maintaining mobility.
Therefore, prolonged periods of complete joint
immobilization is not an appropriate action for the
nurse to take.
