Introduction:
,This comprehensive Kaplan Pediatrics Test is designed to evaluate the knowledge,
clinical judgment, and critical thinking skills essential for safe and effective nursing
care of infants, children, and adolescents. The assessment covers a broad spectrum
of topics including growth and development, health promotion, common pediatric
disorders, infectious diseases, immunizations, pharmacology, and family-centered
care. Candidates will encounter multiple-choice questions that require application of
theoretical knowledge to real-world clinical scenarios. Emphasis is placed on
developmental milestones, age-appropriate care, safety, and evidence-based
practice. Successful completion of this examination demonstrates readiness to
provide competent, compassionate pediatric nursing care across diverse healthcare
settings.
SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1-100
1. A nurse is assessing a 2-year-old child during a well-child visit. Which of the
following developmental milestones should the nurse expect?
A. The child can hop on one foot
B. The child can use 2-3 word phrases
C. The child can ride a tricycle
D. The child can draw a circle
B. The child can use 2-3 word phrases
RATIONALE: At 2 years of age, children typically use 2-3 word phrases, walk
independently, kick a ball, and build a tower of 4-6 blocks. Hopping on one foot,
riding a tricycle, and drawing a circle are milestones for 3-4 year olds.
2. A nurse is providing education to the parents of a 4-month-old infant about
sleep safety. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
,A. Place the infant on their side for sleep
B. Place the infant on their back for sleep
C. Place soft toys in the crib for comfort
D. Use a pillow to prevent flat spots on the head
B. Place the infant on their back for sleep
RATIONALE: The "Back to Sleep" campaign recommends placing infants on their
back for sleep to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Side and
prone positioning are associated with increased SIDS risk. Soft objects, pillows, and
toys should be kept out of the crib.
3. A nurse is assessing a child who has suspected appendicitis. Which of the
following findings is most consistent with this diagnosis?
A. Right lower quadrant pain with rebound tenderness
B. Left upper quadrant pain with nausea
C. Diffuse abdominal pain with diarrhea
D. Epigastric pain that worsens after eating
A. Right lower quadrant pain with rebound tenderness
RATIONALE: Classic signs of appendicitis include right lower quadrant pain
(McBurney's point), rebound tenderness, nausea, vomiting, fever, and anorexia.
Diffuse pain initially, which then localizes to the right lower quadrant, is a common
presentation. Rebound tenderness is a classic peritoneal sign.
4. A nurse is caring for a 6-month-old infant with bronchiolitis. Which of the
following interventions should the nurse prioritize?
A. Administer oral corticosteroids
B. Administer antibiotics
C. Maintain adequate hydration and oxygenation
D. Administer bronchodilators
, C. Maintain adequate hydration and oxygenation
RATIONALE: Bronchiolitis is a viral respiratory infection common in infants.
Supportive care including maintaining hydration, oxygenation, and airway clearance
is the primary treatment. Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, and
corticosteroids and bronchodilators are not routinely recommended for all infants.
5. The mother of a 2-year-old child asks the nurse about a normal diet for her
toddler. Which of the following statements is accurate regarding a toddler's
nutritional requirements?
A. Toddlers need about 1,000 calories/day
B. Toddlers need about 1,200 calories/day
C. Toddlers need about 1,400 calories/day
D. Toddlers need about 1,600 calories/day
A. Toddlers need about 1,000 calories/day
RATIONALE: Toddlers (1-3 years) need approximately 1,000 calories per day, plus
40 calories for each inch of height. Appetite decreases significantly during the
toddler years. The nurse should reassure the parent that this is a normal
developmental pattern.
6. A nurse is providing teaching to the parents of a child diagnosed with iron
