Introduction:
This comprehensive Kaplan PN Pediatrics Examination (Versions A, B, & C)
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. This examination
demonstrates readiness to provide competent, compassionate pediatric
nursing care across diverse healthcare settings.
VERSION A: 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.

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.

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.
, 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
