ATI RN Nursing Care of Children Practice Exam


Question 1

A 5-year-old child is admitted with asthma exacerbation. The nurse notes that the child has a
wheezing sound during expiration and increased respiratory rate. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take first?

 A. Administer a corticosteroid as prescribed.
 B. Administer a bronchodilator as prescribed.
 C. Obtain a chest x-ray.
 D. Assess the child’s oxygen saturation.

Rationale: The first action should be to administer the bronchodilator. Bronchodilators are used
to relax the muscles of the airways and help open them up, which is crucial for immediate relief
of wheezing and shortness of breath.

Question 2

A parent asks the nurse about the recommended immunizations for a 6-month-old infant. Which
vaccines should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)

 A. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
 B. Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTP)
 C. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
 D. Varicella
 E. Hepatitis B

Rationale: At 6 months, the infant should receive the DTP, Hib, and Hepatitis B vaccines. The
MMR and Varicella vaccines are typically administered at 12-15 months of age.
