Which information tool would be most useful in answering a parent's questions about the timing of key events? 1. Healthy People 2020 2. Clinical pathways 3. Child mortality statistics 4. National clinical practice guidelines Answer: 2 Explanation: 1. Clinical pathways are interdisciplinary documents provided by a hospital to suggest ideal sequencing and timing of events and interventions for specific diseases to improve efficiency of care and enhance recovery. This pathway serves as a model outlining the typical hospital stay for individuals with specified conditions. Healthy People 2020 contains objectives set by the U.S. government to improve the health and reduce the incidence of death in the twenty-first century. Child mortality statistics can be compared with those from other decades for the evaluation of achievement toward health-care goals. National clinical practice guidelines promote uniformity in care for specific disease conditions by suggesting expected outcomes from specific interventions. 2.

MNL LO: Family-centered care 5) The nurse recognizes that the pediatric client is from a cultural background different from that of the hospital staff. Which goal is most appropriate for this client when planning nursing care? 1. Overlook or minimize the differences that exist. 2. Facilitate the family's ability to comply with the care needed. 3. Avoid inadvertently offending the family by imposing the nurse's perspective. 4. Encourage complementary beneficial cultural practices as primary therapies. Answer: 2 Explanation: 1. The incorporation of the family's cultural perspective into the care plan is most likely to result in the family's ability to accept medical care and comply with the regimen prescribed. Since culture develops from social learning, attempts to ignore or minimize cultural consideration will result in mistrust, suspicion, or offenses that can have negative effects upon the health of children by reducing the resources available to promote health and prevent illness. Complementary therapy may be used later if other primary therapies prove to be ineffective. 2.

MNL LO: Family-centered care 6) The telephone triage nurse at a pediatric clinic knows each call is important. Which call would require attentiveness from the nurse because of an increased risk of mortality? 1. A 3-week-old infant born at 35 weeks' gestation with gastroenteritis 2. A term 2-week-old infant of American Indian descent with an upper respiratory infection 3. A postterm 4-week-old infant non-Hispanic black descent with moderate emesis after feeding 4. A 1-week-old infant born at 40 weeks' gestation with symptoms of colic Answer: 1 Explanation: 1. The leading causes of death in the neonatal period (birth to 28 days of age) are short gestation, low birth weight, and congenital malformations. The preterm infant experiencing gastroenteritis at 3 weeks of age is at the greatest risk for mortality; therefore, would require extra attentiveness from the registered nurse. 2.

MNL LO: Developmentally appropriate care 7) Despite the availability of Children's Health Insurance Programs (CHIP), many eligible children are not enrolled. Which nursing intervention would be the most appropriate to help children become enrolled in CHIP? 1. Assess details of the family's income and expenditures 2. Case management to limit costly, unnecessary duplication of services 3. Advocate for the child by encouraging the family to investigate SCHIP eligibility 4. Educate the family about the need for keeping regular well-child-visit appointments Answer: 3 Explanation: 1. In the role of an advocate, a nurse will advance the interests of another; by suggesting the family investigate its CHIP eligibility, the nurse is directing their action toward the child's best interest. Financial assessment is more commonly the function of a social worker. The case-management activity mentioned will not provide a source of funding nor will the educational effort described. 6 | P a g e2.

Which member of the healthcare team is legally responsible for obtaining informed consent for an invasive procedure? 1. Nurse 2. Physician 3. Unit secretary 4. Social worker Answer: 2 Explanation: 1. Informed consent is legal preauthorization for an invasive procedure. It is the physician's legal responsibility to obtain this, because it consists of an explanation about the medical condition, a detailed description of treatment plans, the expected benefits and risks related to the proposed treatment plan, alternative treatment options, the client's questions, and the guardian's right to refuse treatment. 2.

After details of the procedure are explained, who can provide legal consent on behalf of a minor child for treatment? 1. The divorced parent without custody 2. A cohabitating boyfriend of the child's mother 3. A grandparent who lives in the home with the child 4. A babysitter with written proxy Answer: 4 Explanation: 1. A parent may grant proxy consent in writing to another adult so that children are not denied necessary healthcare. In the case of divorced parents, the parent with custody may be the only parent allowed by some states to give informed consent. Residence in the same household with a child does not authorize an adult to sign consent for treatment. 2.

MNL LO: Family-centered care 11) A 12-year-old child is admitted to the unit for a surgical procedure. The child is accompanied by two parents and a younger sibling. What is the level of involvement in treatment decision making for this child? 1. Emancipated minor 2. Mature minor 3. Assent 4. None Answer: 3 Explanation: 1. Assent requires the ability to generally understand what procedure and treatments are planned, to understand what participation is required, and to make a statement of agreement or disagreement with the plan. Usually, in Piaget's stage of formal operations, 11- to 13-year-olds should be able to problem solve using abstract concepts and are able to give valid assent when parents sign the informed consent. An emancipated minor is a self- supporting adolescent who is not subject to the control of a parent or guardian. A mature minor is a 14- or 15-year-old whom the state law designates as being able to understand medical risks and who is thus permitted to give informed consent for treatment. 2.

While planning nursing care, the hospital administration is considering two models of providing healthcare: family-focused care and family-centered care. Which action best demonstrates family-centered care? 1. Telling the family what must be done for the family's health 2. Assuming the role of an expert professional to direct the healthcare 3. Intervening for the child and family as a unit 4. Conferring with the family in deciding which healthcare option will be chosen Answer: 4 Explanation: 1. The benefit of employing the family-centered-care philosophy is that the priorities and needs as seen by the family are addressed as a partnership between a family and a nurse develops. In family-focused care, the healthcare worker assumes the role of professional expert while missing the multiple contributions the family brings to the healthcare meeting. 2.

Authoritarian 2. Authoritative 3. Indifferent 4. Permissive Answer: 2 Explanation: 1. The parental style that results in positive outcomes for the behavior and learning of its children is the authoritative style. Nurses have observed that children from homes using this parental style more frequently have personalities manifesting self-reliance, self-control, and social competence. These parents should be praised for using the preferred approach. Children in the authoritarian parenting family are denied opportunity to develop some skills in the areas of self-direction, communication, and negotiation. Under the permissive parental style, children do not learn the socially acceptable limits of behaviors. The indifferent parental style results in children who often exhibit destructive behaviors and delinquency. 2.
