Chapter 1: Pediatric Primary Care — 20 Original NCLEX-Style MCQs
Question 1
Question: A pediatric primary care nurse practitioner (PNP) meets with
a 4-year-old child who has recurrent respiratory infections. During the
visit, the caregiver reveals that the family is living in temporary housing
and has difficulty obtaining nutritious food. Which action best reflects a
two-generation approach to pediatric primary care?
A. Focus exclusively on treating the child's respiratory symptoms.
B. Assess the child's health needs while identifying resources that
support the caregiver and family's stability.
C. Refer the caregiver for social services without addressing the child's
immediate health concerns.
D. Delay preventive care until the family has secured permanent
housing.
Correct Answer: B. Assess the child's health needs while identifying
resources that support the caregiver and family's stability.
Rationale: A two-generation approach considers the health and well-
being of both the child and caregiver. Addressing the child's medical
needs alongside food insecurity, housing instability, and access to
community resources can improve health outcomes for the entire
family.
