1. A nurse is monitoring a child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis who has been
performing range-of-motion exercises. If the child reports increased pain
during the exercises, what should the nurse do next?
Discontinue all physical activity for the child.
Increase the intensity of the exercises immediately.
Encourage the child to push through the pain.
Reassess the exercise regimen and consult with the healthcare
provider.
2. A nurse is caring for a patient who has been on high-dose corticosteroids for
several months. The patient is experiencing a severe allergic reaction. How
should the nurse manage the corticosteroid dosage during treatment?
The nurse should maintain the current dosage until the allergic
reaction resolves.
The nurse should increase the dosage of corticosteroids to combat
the allergic reaction.
The nurse should gradually reduce the corticosteroid dosage to
prevent adrenal crisis while managing the allergic reaction.
The nurse should stop the corticosteroid therapy immediately to
control the allergic reaction.
3. Which client is at the highest risk for fluid volume overload after surgery?
Client with laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Client with liver transplantation
, Client with lymph node dissection
Client with surgical intervention for hemorrhoids
4. Which condition does the best choice of roommate for a 10-year-old boy
with juvenile idiopathic arthritis have a history of?
Splenectomy
Fractured femur
Asthma
Colitis
5. In a scenario where a postoperative client presents with foul-smelling
drainage from their wound, what should be the nurse's immediate priority
action?
Notify the healthcare provider for further evaluation and possible
intervention.
Administer pain medication to the client.
Change the dressing and apply a new antiseptic ointment.
Document the findings and continue to monitor the wound.
6. Why is it crucial for nurses to focus on preventing contracture deformities in
children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis?
Preventing contracture deformities eliminates the need for
medication.
Preventing contracture deformities ensures proper nutrition.
Preventing contracture deformities helps maintain mobility and
function in the affected joints.
Preventing contracture deformities reduces the risk of infection.
,7. Discuss the role of physical therapy in managing juvenile idiopathic arthritis in
children.
Physical therapy helps improve mobility, strength, and function in
children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Physical therapy focuses solely on pain relief without addressing
mobility.
Physical therapy is primarily for adults and not applicable to children.
Physical therapy is not recommended for children with juvenile
idiopathic arthritis.
8. In a scenario where a nurse is developing a care plan for a child with juvenile
idiopathic arthritis, which intervention would best address the prevention of
contracture deformities?
Increasing the child's fluid intake.
Administering pain medication before meals.
Implementing a regular physical therapy regimen.
Monitoring vital signs every hour.
9. The patient has all the following clinical manifestations. Which assessment
finding alerts the nurse to the probability of anaphylactic shock as opposed
to the other types of shock?
pale, clammy skin
anxiety and confusion
hypotension
difficulty breathing
, 10. Describe the significance of the anteroposterior chest diameter in patients
with respiratory disorders, particularly in relation to Cystic Fibrosis.
The anteroposterior diameter is irrelevant in assessing respiratory
disorders.
In Cystic Fibrosis, the anteroposterior chest diameter may equal the
lateral diameter, indicating a change in lung structure due to
chronic obstruction and infection.
The anteroposterior diameter is always larger in respiratory disorders,
indicating severe disease.
Cystic Fibrosis does not affect the chest diameter; it primarily affects
the lungs' ability to exchange gases.
11. A patient has recently recovered from measles and is now concerned about
future infections. What would be the best explanation regarding their
immunity?
The patient has developed specific immunity due to the formation
of memory cells after recovery.
The patient will rely solely on maternal antibodies for protection.
The patient has no immunity and is at risk of reinfection.
The patient will need to receive a vaccine to ensure immunity.
12. Steroids are not first choice therapy in JIA due to adverse effect on?
body image
growth
sexuality
emotions
