Ch 32: Peds - Health test for Children
with correct questions and answers.
, A young client is admitted with a fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. Upon taking
the health history, the nurse asks the client's parent, "What did you do to
help your child before coming to health facility?" This is an example of which
type of question? - correct ans:Open-ended
This is an example of a open-ended question. It allows for the parent to list
all the things she did and not limit the response to only one thing or a "yes"
or "no." A closed-ended question only gives a person the choice to answer
yes or no so it would not give the information needed to make treatment
decisions. A compound question is one where a combination of more than
one question is asked in a seemingly single question. This type of
questioning only causes confusion and may actually provide incorrect
information. A leading question is one that prompts a person to answer in a
certain way. An expansive question is not asked to gain information. It is
generally asked to start the thinking process.
A nurse realizes the importance of nutritional assessment during the health
history. When doing so, the nurse must assess the quality as well as quantity
of food eaten. The best way to assess food intake is to do a: - correct ans:24-
hour recall.
Food intake is best obtained by asking a parent to describe a typical day (24-
hour recall), listing what the child ate for each meal and between meals as
well.
The nurse is auscultating the lungs of a lethargic, irritable 6-year-old boy and
hears wheezing. The nurse will most likely include which teaching point if the
child is suspected of having asthma? - correct ans:"I'm going to have this
hospital worker take a picture of your lungs."
The nurse should teach the child using terms a 6-year-old will understand. A
chest x-ray is usually ordered for the assessment of asthma to check for
hyperventilation. A sputum culture is indicated for pneumonia, cystic fibrosis,
and tuberculosis; fluoroscopy is used to identify masses or abscesses as with
pneumonia; and the sweat chloride test is indicated for cystic fibrosis.
