Adolescents are capable of abstract thinking and understand explanations, so the opportunity to ask
questions should be provided. Since an adolescent's modesty should be respected, the presence of
the parents at the bedside should be a choice made by the adolescent. An adolescent's ability to
think abstractly engages problem-solving, therefore the 14-year-old should be allowed to verbalize
decisions about their care.

The nurse is collecting a blood sample from a newborn for a phenylketonuria (PKU) screening test.
When should the nurse obtain the blood sample?
1 At birth from cord blood.
2 Fourteen days after birth.
3 Before oral feedings are initiated.
4 After ingestion of a source of protein. –
Correct Answer :4
PKU is a genetic disease caused by the absence of the enzyme needed to metabolize the essential
amino acid phenylalanine. The Guthrie blood test is used for early detection of this condition in order
to prevent mental retardation as a result of this disease. The blood sample should be collected
between 1 to 7 days after birth, with fresh heel blood only, and no sooner than 24 hours after the
infant has ingested a source of protein (breast milk or infant formula). Premature infants and/or sick
neonates who haven't been introduce to breast milk or formula due to medical reasons will have the
PKU test taken after they are able to ingest breast milk or formula regardless of method of delivery
(nippling or gavage fed).

During a well-child assessment, the parents of a 4-year-old express concern that their child often
chatters while playing alone. What information should the nurse provide the parents?

2 This is an attempt by the child to form an imaginary social base.
3 "Private speech" is normal at this age and serves as a problem-solving tool.
4 Concern for psychological development is warranted, so further testing is required.

problem-solving tool as children try new tasks or work through unfamiliar situations.
A Spanish-speaking 5-year-old child starts kindergarten in an English-speaking school. The child cries

child, how should the school nurse document the situation?
1 Experiencing culture adaptation.
2 Lacks the maturity needed in school.
3 Refuses to participate in school activities.
4 Going through minority group discrimination.

new country and adjusting to a subculture within a larger culture that is unfamiliar. Adapting
culturally describes feelings of discomfort and disorientation when adapting to new cultural settings.
Language barriers inhibit effective communication. A child who is unable to communicate in the
spoken language in the school environment lacks the skills necessary to participate.
