Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the
question.
1. The nurse has provided a presentation to middle school
children about nursing as a career. One of the children
stated that he wanted to be a pediatric nurse, because he
wants to take care of babies and little “kids.” What would
be an appropriate response to this middle school–aged
child?
1. “Nursing is a general practice; all nurses must
know how to take care of all ages of patients.”
2. “As a pediatric nurse, you would get to care for
babies and little kids as well as children
through their teenage years.”
3. “What you are describing is actually a neonatal
nurse. Neonatal nurses work with newborn
babies, toddlers, and preschool-age children.”
4. “Being a pediatric nurse requires a master’s
degree, so be sure to work hard in school!”
2. The medical-surgical float nurse is assigned to the
pediatric unit for the first time and states that the skills
are “the same as general nursing since children are little
adults with smaller bodies.” What component of
pediatric nursing contraindicates this statement?
1. Pediatric nursing involves care based on the developmental
level of the patient.
2. Pediatric nursing involves the patient’s family in the plan of
care.

population represent one-fifth of the pediatric
population.
2. About half of the children fall in the category of
something other than White non- Hispanic.
3. The population of Asian children decreased from 2015 to
2018.
4. There was no change in the population of Non-
Hispanic children who represent two or more
races between 2015 and 2018.
4. The nurse at a family clinic is providing care to an
adolescent patient diagnosed with diabetes. The patient has
verbalized discomfort with the feelings of isolation when
unable to drink alcohol with their friends. Which of the
following would be the most appropriate response to this
statement?
1. “Drinking alcohol is not only illegal but
dangerous for your blood sugar control and
overall well-being.”
2. “You can still drink alcohol, in moderation, if
you control the sugar spike with more insulin.”
3. “Prepare for alcohol intake with more water and
less carbohydrates before drinking to slow sugar
spikes.”
4. “It is understandable that you want to be
included, but perhaps we can work out a plan on
, Rudd 3

how to work through those situations.”
