Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject, confirmatory diagnostic tests for Hodgkin's
26
disease. Think about the pathophysiology associated with Hodgkin's disease. Remember
that the Reed-Sternberg cell is characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.

A lumbar puncture is performed on a child suspected to have bacterial meningitis, and
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is obtained for analysis. The nurse reviews the results of the CSF
analysis and determines that which results wvould verify the diagnosis?
ly
1. Clear CSF, decreased pressure, and elevated protein level
Ju
2. Clear CSF, elevated protein, and decreased glucose levels
3. Cloudy CSF, elevated protein, and decreased glucose levels
ng
4. Cloudy CSF, decreased protein, and decreased glucose levels
CORRECT ANSWER-Answer:3
si
Rationale: Meningitis is an infectious process of the central nervous system caused by
ur
bacteria and viruses; it may be acquired as a primary disease or as a result of
complications of neurosurgery, trauma, infection of the sinus or ears, or systemic
infections. Meningitis is diagnosed by testing CSF obtained by lumbar puncture. In the
N
case of bacterial meningitis, findings usually include an elevated pressure; turbid or
cloudy CSF; and elevated leukocyte, elevated protein, and decreased glucose levels.
, Test-Taking Strategy: Use knowledge regarding the diagnostic findings in meningitis.
Eliminate options 1 and 2 first because they are comparable or alike;recall that clear
CSF is not likely to be found in an infectious process such as meningitis. From this
point, recall that an elevated protein level indicates a possible diagnosis of meningitis
to direct you to the correct option.

A nonstress test is performed on a client who is pregnant, and the results of the test indicate
nonreactive findings. The primary health care provider prescribes a contraction stress test,
20
and the results are documented as negative. How would the nurse document this finding?
1. A normal test result
2. An abnormal test result
3. A high risk for fetal demise ly
Ju
4. The need for a cesarean section - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer: 1
Rationale: Contraction stress test results may be interpreted as negative (normal), positive
ng
(abnormal), or equivocal. A negative test result indicates that no late decelerations occurred
in the fetal heart rate, although the fetus was stressed by 3 contractions of at least 40
seconds' duration in a 10-minute period.Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect interpretations.
si
ur
Test-Taking Strategy: Read the options carefully. Note that options 2, 3, and 4are
comparable or alike in that they indicate an abnormal test result finding.
N
A parent arrives at a clinic with a toddler and tells the nurse how difficult it is to get the child
to go to bed at night. What measure is most appropriate for the nurse to suggest to the
parent?
1. Allow the child to set bedtime limits.
ied
2. Allow the child to have temper tantrums.
, 4. Inform the child of bedtime a few minutes before it is time for bed. - CORRECT
ANSWER-Answer:4
Rationale: Toddlers often resist going to bed. Bedtime protests may be reduced by
establishing a consistent before-bedtime routine and enforcing consistent limits regarding
26
the child's bedtime behavior. Informing the child of bedtime a few minutes before it is time
for bed is the most appropriate option. Most toddlers take an afternoon nap and, until their
second birthday, also may require a morning nap. Firm, consistent limits are needed for
20
temper tantrums or when toddlers try stalling tactics.
Test-Taking Strategy: Note the strategic words, most appropriate, and focus on the subject,
the toddler. Eliminate options 1, 2, and 3 by using concepts related to growth and
ly
development. Remember that preparing the toddler for an event will minimize resistive
behavior.

A parent brings a 4-month-old infant to a well-baby clinic for immunizations. The child is up
g
to date with the immunization schedule. The nurse should prepare to administer which
immunizations to this infant?
in
1. Varicella, hepatitis B vaccine (HepB)
s
2. Diphtheria, tetanาus, acellular pertussis (DTaP); measles, mumps, rubella
ur
(MMR); inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV)
3. MMR, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib),DTaP
4. DTaP, Hib, IPV, pneumococcal vaccine (PCV), rotavirus vaccine (RV) - CORRECT
N
ANSWER-Answer:4
Rationale: DTaP, Hib, IPV, PCV, and RV are administered at 4 months of age. DTaP is
SSaied
administered at 2, 4, and 6 months of age; at 15 to 18 months of age; and at 4
, to 6 years of age. Hib is administered at 2, 4, and 6 months of age and at 12 to 15months of age.
IPV is administered at 2, 4, and 6 months of age and at 4 to 6years of age. PCV is administered at
2, 4, and 6 months of age and at 12 to 15months of age. RV is administered at 2, 4, and 6 months
of age. The first dose of MMR vaccine is administered at 12 to 15 months of age; the second
dose is administered at 4 to 6 years of age (if the second dose was not given by 4 to 6years of
age, it should be given at the next visit). The first dose of HepB is administered at birth, the
26
second dose is administered at 1 month of age, and the third dose is administered at 6 months
of age. Varicella-zoster vaccine is administered at 12 to 15 months of age and again at 4 to 6
years of age.

Test-Taking Strategy: Focus on the subject, immunization schedule for a 4month-old infant, and
use knowledge regarding the immunization schedule to answer this question. Noting the age of

the infant will assist in directing you to the correct option.

A parent calls a neighbor who is a nurse and tells the nurse that their 3-year-old child has just
ingested liquid furniture polish. The nurse would direct the parent to take which immediate
action?
ng
1. Induce vomiting.
2. Call an ambulance.
si
3. Call the Poison Control Center.
ur
4. Bring the child to the emergency department. - CORRECT ANSWER-Answer: 3
N
Rationale: If a poisoning occurs, the Poison Control Center needs to be contacted immediately.
Vomiting would not be induced if the victim is unconscious or if the substance ingested is a
strong corrosive or petroleum product. Bringing the child to the emergency department or
calling an ambulance would not be the initial action because this would delay treatment. The
