Question:
A 12-year-old child with Down syndrome is admitted to the
hospital for intravenous antibiotics for pneumonia. Which
clinical findings associated with Down syndrome should the
nurse expect when performing a physical assessment? Select
all that apply.
1. Saddle nose
2. Thin fingers
3. Inner epicanthic folds
4. Hypertonic musculature
5. Transverse palmar crease
Answer:
1.Saddle Nose
2.Inner epicanthic folds
3.Transverse palmar crease
Children with Down syndrome have a broad nose with a depressed bridge (saddle nose),
as well as inner epicanthic folds, and oblique palpebral fissures; they also have speckling
of the iris (Brushfield spots). Children with Down syndrome have a transverse palmar
crease (simian crease) formed by fusion of the proximal and distal palmar creases. These
children also have broad, short, stubby hands and feet. Children with Down syndrome
have hypotonic, not hypertonic, musculature.
Question:
A nurse plans to discuss childhood nutrition with a group of
parents whose children have Down syndrome in an attempt to
minimize a common nutritional problem. What problem should
be addressed?
1.Rickets
2.Obesity
3.Anemia
4.Rumination
, Answer:
2. Obesity
Obesity is a common nutritional problem of children with Down syndrome. It is thought
to be related to excessive caloric intake and impaired growth. Rickets is a nutritional
disorder related to vitamin D deficiency; it is usually not encountered in these children.
Anemia is the most common nutritional problem in children with iron deficiency.
Rumination is an eating disorder of infancy characterized by repeated regurgitation
without a gastrointestinal illness.
Question:
The mother of a 2-year-old child tells the nurse that she is
concerned about her child's vision. What behavior when the
child is tired leads the nurse to suspect strabismus?
1 One eyelid droops.
2Both eyes look cloudy.
3One eye moves inward.
4Both eyes blink excessively
Answer:
3. One eye moves inward
An inward moving eye (tropia) is one form of strabismus. A drooping eyelid is called
ptosis; it may be congenital or caused by trauma. Cloudy eyes are associated with
congenital cataracts. Blinking may be a tic.
Question:
A child is being treated with oral ampicillin (Omnipen) for otitis
media. What should be included in the discharge instructions
that the nurse provides to the parents of the client?
1. Complete the entire course of antibiotic therapy.
2. Herbal fever remedies are highly discouraged.
3.Administer the medication with meals.
4.Stop the antibiotic therapy when the child no longer has a
fever.
