A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parent of a school-
1.
age child who has lactose intolerance. Which of the following
supplements should the nurse instruct the parent to include in
the child's diet?: Vitamin D
Lactose intolerance is managed by eliminating dairy products from the diet. However, this can
result in a decrease in bone density because of the lack of calcium and vitamin D in the diet. The
nurse should instruct the parent to administer a vitamin D supplement to the child to enhance the
absorption of calcium from foods other than those containing lactose.
2.A nurse is reviewing the laboratory values of a school-age
child who has iron deficiency anemia. Which of the following
findings should the nurse expect?: - Hgb 9.0 g/dl
The nurse should expect a child who has iron deficiency anemia to have an Hgb level below the
expected reference range of 9.5 to 15.5 g/dl. An Hgb of 9.0 g/dl is below the expected reference
range.
3.A nurse is collecting data from a 12-month-old infant during a
well-child visit. At birth, the infant's weight was 3.6 kg (8 lb) and
his length was 50.8 cm (20 in). Based on this data, which of the
following findings should the nurse expect?: The infant is 76.2 cm (30
in) long
The nurse should expect a length of 76.2 cm (30 in), because the infant's length should increase
,by about 50% by 12 months of age.
4.A nurse is reinforcing teaching about liquid oral supplements
with the guardian of a school-age child who has iron
deficiency anemia. Which of the following statements by the
guardian indicates an understanding of the teach- ing?: "I will give
this medication to my child with a straw."
The nurse should reinforce with the guardian to administer this medication with a straw to
prevent staining the child's teeth.
5.A nurse is caring for a toddler who has terminal cancer and is
receiving hospice care. The child's parent tells the nurse, "I'm a
bad parent, and I can't deal with this." Which of the following
responses should the nurse make?: "Tell me more about what you are
feeling."
The nurse should use open-ended statements that will allow the parent to share his feelings
and emotions. During times of grief, the parent needs to express his emotions. The use of an
open-ended statement relays the message that it is safe to do so with the nurse.
, 6.A nurse is administering an injection of epinephrine to a
child who is experi- encing manifestations of anaphylaxis. The
nurse should monitor for which of the following adverse effects?:
Increased systolic blood pressure
Epinephrine is an adrenergic agonist used to treat anaphylaxis by activating the sympathetic
nervous system. The nurse should expect the child to have an increased systolic blood pressure
following administration of epinephrine.
7.A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a 2-year-
old toddler at a well-child visit. Which of the following
should the nurse recommend as an age-appropriate activity for
the toddler?: Putting together a large-piece puzzle
The nurse should recommend putting together a large-piece puzzle as an age-appropriate
activity for a 2-year-old toddler. Puzzles provide the child an opportunity to develop fine motor
skills. Other fine motor skill activities include finger painting and coloring with thick crayons.
8.A nurse is collecting data from a 10-month-old infant. Which
of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?:
Sits with support by leaning on hands The nurse should identify that sitting with
support can indicate a developmental delay, because an infant should be able to sit
unsupported by 8 months of age. Therefore, the nurse should report this finding to the
provider.
