// // // // // // //



expectations of this age?
// // // //

// // // // // //




* A preschool-age child begins to conceptualize death process as
// // // // // // // // //



involving physical harm.
// // //




Monosyllabic babbling //




- occurs between 3 - 6 months of age
// // // // // // // //




Regression
- often happens due to stress of hospitalization
// // // // // // //




- parents may be overly concerned about this and need to be
// // // // // // // // // // //



told that their child may continue the behavior at home
// // // // // // // // // //

,- best approach is to ignore it while praising existing patterns of
// // // // // // // // // // //



appropriate behavior
// //




A 15-year-old is injured with a fractured jaw. The fractured jaw
// // // // // // // // // //



has been surgically wired, and the PHCP prescribed a full liquid
// // // // // // // // // // //



diet. Which nursing action would best promote compliance and
// // // // // // // // //



provide an adequate nutrient value with the full liquid diet for
// // // // // // // // // // //



this teenager?
// //




- Ask teen for food preferences, and liquefy these foods using a
// // // // // // // // // // //



blender.
//




* A 15-year-old may have difficulty maintaining compliance w/ a
// // // // // // // // //



liquid only diet. To encourage compliance, it is important to
// // // // // // // // // //



have the teen participate in decision making about the diet.
// // // // // // // // // //



Although liquefied foods may be unappealing under many
// // // // // // // //



circumstances, the nutrient value is unchanged. The teen will
// // // // // // // // //



have an opportunity to "eat" the same foods that they were
// // // // // // // // // // //



eating before the jaw fracture.
// // // // //

,The nurse is admitting a 10-month-old infant who is being
// // // // // // // // //

// // // // // // // // //



plan of care for the infant and includes which most appropriate
// // // // // // // // // // //



intervention?
//




- Providing a consistent routine w/ touching, rocking, & cuddling
// // // // // // // // //



throughout hospitalization
// //




* A 10-month-old is in Trust vs Mistrust stage of psychosocial
// // // // // // // // // //



development according to Erikson. The infant is developing a
// // // // // // // // //



sense of self, and the nurse would appropriately provide a
// // // // // // // // // //



consistent routine for the child. Hospitalization may have an
// // // // // // // // //



adverse effect, and the nurse would touch, rock, and cuddle the
// // // // // // // // // // //



infant to promote a sense of trust and provide sensory
// // // // // // // // // //



stimulation.
//




A 2-year-old child has been admitted to the hospital for
// // // // // // // // //



management of pneumonia. The child is placed in an oxygen
// // // // // // // // // //



tent. Taking into consideration the child's age and developmental
// // // // // // // // //



level and the treatment being administered, which statement is
// // // // // // // // //



appropriate for the nurse to make to the parents?
// // // // // // // // //




- "You can sit next to your child and hold hands through the
// // // // // // // // // // // //



tent, but your child needs to remain inside of it."
// // // // // // // // // //

, * Oxygen therapy is an important part of pneumonia
// // // // // // // //



management and is effective only if it is used appropriately. It is
// // // // // // // // // // // //



important to maintain the toddler in the oxygen environment at
// // // // // // // // // //



all times. The toddler is at risk for increased anxiety. Attachment
// // // // // // // // // // //



is critical to optimal growth and development of children,
// // // // // // // // //



particularly in the infant and toddler years. Therefore, sitting
// // // // // // // // //



with the child and holding the child's hand is important. Wool
// // // // // // // // // // //



blankets, stuffed toys, and many toy cars can produce sparks,
// // // // // // // // // //



which could lead to an oxygen tent's catching fire. It is
// // // // // // // // // // //



important to educate parents and family members not to bring
// // // // // // // // // //



these types of objects to the hospital.
// // // // // // //




The parent of a 5-year-old child tells the nurse that the child
// // // // // // // // // // //



scolds the floor/table if the child hurts themself on the object.
// // // // // // // // // // //



The nurse educates the parent according to Piaget's theory of
// // // // // // // // // //



cognitive development and its terminology and definitions.
// // // // // // //



Which statement by the parent indicates teaching has been
// // // // // // // // //



effective?
//




- "This is an example of animism."
// // // // // //




* all inanimate objects are given living meaning.
// // // // // // //
