A school-age child has asthma and lives in a home where both
parents smoke. The nurse has provided extensive education to
the parents on the dangers of second-hand smoke. Which
assessment by the nurse indicates that goals for a family nursing
diagnosis have been met?
A. Child's clothing no longer smells of cigarette smoke
B. Father states he has quit smoking; mother has cut down
C. Parents state they smoke only in the basement now
D. Significant decrease in asthma "attacks" over a year -
ANSWERS-ANS: D
An important goal for this family is understanding how to
avoid exposing their child to second-hand smoke. The only
objective assessment data to show that the child is not
exposed to smoke is the decrease in asthma "attacks" the
child has had in the last year. New clothing will not smell like
smoke; if the mother continues to smoke even in lesser
amounts, the child will still be exposed; and smoking
anywhere in the house pollutes all the air in the house.

A 4-year-old girl is brought to the emergency department. She has
a "frog-like" croaking sound on inspiration, is agitated, and is
drooling. She insists on sitting upright. Which nursing action is the
priority for this patient?
A. Maintain the airway.
B. Obtain a throat culture.
C. Start an intravenous line.
D. Transport for a chest x-ray. - ANSWERS-ANS: A
Airway, breathing, and circulation are the primary concerns
for all patients. When a patient has acute respiratory
distress, the most important nursing intervention is
maintaining an airway. Starting an IV is important, but it is
not the primary concern. Obtaining a throat culture would be
contraindicated at this time, as it could cause vomiting or
occlusion of the airway. The child should not be transported
for x-ray; it should be done with portable equipment.
The mother of a 5-year-old girl describes her daughter's
symptoms to the nurse in the emergency room. She states that
her daughter has had "a dry, hacking cough for the past 3 days
,3|Page
that gets worse during the night." She further states that "now she
is coughing up phlegm." Which discharge instruction does the
nurse plan to provide?
A. "Do not be surprised if she vomits her secretions."
B. "Give your child cough drops as often as needed."
C. "Return if she is not better after 3 days of antibiotics."
D. "You can use a warm-mist humidifier in her room." -
ANSWERS-ANS: A
This child has manifestations of bronchitis, which is
frequently viral in nature. A dry, hacking cough gives way to
a productive cough. Older children can be encouraged to
cough up their secretions, but younger children often
swallow them, leading to vomiting. Cough drops are not
generally used, so as to encourage secretion mobilization.
Because this disease is usually viral in nature, antibiotics are
not routinely used. Cool-mist humidifiers are preferred over
warm.
The nurse is caring for a child with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
receiving furosemide (Lasix). Which finding would lead the nurse
to conclude the child has a side effect of this drug?
, 4|Page
A. Acidosis
B. Hypercarbia
C. Hypokalemia
D. Thrombocytopenia - ANSWERS-ANS: C
A side effect of Lasix is hypokalemia. The other laboratory
abnormalities are not associated with this drug.
A father brings his 1-year-old son to the clinic and states that
when he kisses the child's cheek, it tastes salty. Which diagnostic
test does the nurse educate the father on based on the father's
statement?
A. Large bowel barium series
B. Pancreatic enzyme analysis
C. Pulmonary function studies
D. Quantitative sweat chloride test - ANSWERS-ANS: D
Salty-tasting sweat and tears are a characteristic finding in
cystic fibrosis. The diagnostic test for this disorder is the
quantitative sweat chloride test. Pancreatic enzyme studies
are invasive and not usually performed on children.
