1. Complete an ATI Focused Review® and send a detailed summary (2-3 sentences each) of 4 concepts
that you learned from the focused review to me in the messaging system.
Acute and Infectious Respiratory Illnesses: Evaluating Understanding of Infection Control (RM
NCC PN 10.0 Chp 16, Active Learning Template - System Disorder)
Provide treatment of manifestations for viral tonsillitis (rest, warm fluids, warm salt-water gargles).
Administer antibiotic therapy for bacterial tonsillitis. Encourage soft to liquid diet. Administer throat
lozenges, analgesics, and antipyretics as needed.
Communicable Diseases: Recommending a Play Activity for a Hospitalized Preschooler (RM
NCC PN 10.0 Chp 35, Active Learning Template - Growth and Development)
Keep lights dim if the child develops photophobia. Keep the child out of the sun. Notify the child’s
school or day care of the infection. Obtain a plan from the school so that the child can continue
working on schoolwork at home.
Health Promotion of Infants (2 Days to 1 Year): Reinforcing Teaching About Colic (RM NCC PN
10.0 Chp 3, Active Learning Template - System Disorder)
Clean infants’ teeth using cool, wet washcloths. Bottles should not be given to infants when they are
falling asleep, because prolonged exposure to milk or juice can cause early childhood dental caries.
Physical Assessment Findings: Correct Technique for Blood Pressure (RM NCC PN 10.0 Chp 2,
Active Learning Template - Nursing Skill)
Readings should be compared with standard measurements (National High Blood Pressure Education
Program Working Group on High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents).Age, height, and sex
influence blood pressure readings.
2. Answer the following questions and review the suggested learning activities. Send me your answers
here.
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a new mother about the colic hold. What would the nurse
instruct the client to do?
If you're feeding formula to your baby, talk with your pediatrician about a protein hydrolysate formula.
If food sensitivity is causing the discomfort, the colic should decrease within a few days of these
changes. Do not overfeed your baby, which could make her uncomfortable. In general, try to wait at
least two to two and a half hours from the start of one feeding to the start of the next one. Walk your
baby in a baby carrier to soothe her. The motion and body contact will reassure her, even if her
discomfort persists.

, A nurse is going to perform percussion on a school aged client. What techniques for percussion
would the nurse include in her data collection? (Review the Fundamentals Review Module)
Percussion is tapping the patient's bodily surfaces and hearing the resulting sounds to determine the
presence of things like air and solid masses affecting internal organs. The sounds that are heard with
percussion are resonance which is a hollow sound, flatness which is typically hear over solid things like
bone, hyper resonance which is a loud booming sound, and tympany which is a drum type sound.
A nurse is reinforcing education to parents of a child who stutters. What interventions should be
included? Suggested Nursing Care of Children Learning Activity: Developmental Stages and
Transitions
If a child appears to be normally disfluent, parents should be reassured that these disfluencies are like
the mistakes every child makes when he or she is learning any new skill, like walking, writing, or
bicycling. Parents should be advised to accept the disfluencies without any discernable reaction or
comment. Particularly concerned parents may find it helpful to slow their own speech rates, use shorter,
simpler sentences, and reduce the number of questions they ask.
When reinforcing education regarding immunizations, the nurse should include information on
contraindications/precautions. Identify three (3) complications/contraindications that can be
noted after administration of an immunization. Suggested Nursing Care of Children Learning
Activity: Immunizations
Allergy to eggs. Allergy to any of the vaccinations the client is receiving. For pertussis-containing
vaccines: Encephalopathy (e.g., coma, decreased level of consciousness, prolonged seizures) not
attributable to another identifiable cause within 7 days of administration of a previous dose of DTP or
DTaP (for DtaP).
A nurse caring for a child with an acute infectious gastrointestinal disorder is concerned about
possible dehydration. Provide five (5) clinical manifestations associated with dehydration.
Suggested Nursing Care of Children Learning Activity: Gastrointestinal Disorders
Dry mouth, eyes stop making tears, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, weakness, and
even lightheadedness are all signs of dehydration.
The nurse is caring for a client who had a cleft lip repair. The nurse will reinforce what feeding
techniques to the parents after this procedure? Suggested Nursing Care of Children Learning
Activity: Cleft Lip and Palate
Use a specialized cleft palate bottle as demonstrated by your baby's medical team. Place your baby in
an upright, sitting position to prevent the formula from flowing back into the nose area. Keep the bottle
tilted so the nipple is always filled with milk and pointed down away from the cleft.
A nurse is reinforcing education to the parents of a 4-month-old infant regarding introduction of
solid food. What guidelines should be followed?
