Children | Graded A+ | Latest 2026/2027 Update
Question 1:
A nurse is assessing a 12-month-old infant during a
well-child visit. Which of the following findings
should be reported to the provider?
A) Closed anterior fontanel
B) Eruption of 6 teeth
C) Birth weight tripled
D) Birth length increased by 50%
Answer: D
Rationale: By 12 months, birth weight should TRIPLE
(C is correct). Birth length should increase by
approximately 50% by the first birthday—but the
correct finding is that length increased by 50%, not
that it "should be" increased by 50% as a finding to
report. The anterior fontanel typically closes by 12-
18 months (A is normal). Six teeth (B) is normal for
,this age. Option D would be reported if length has
NOT increased appropriately .
Question 2:
A nurse is educating parents of a 4-month-old about
introducing solid foods. Which food should be
introduced FIRST?
A) Iron-fortified cereal
B) Strained yellow vegetables
C) Pureed fruits
D) Whole milk
Answer: A
Rationale: Iron-fortified cereal is the recommended
first solid food for infants. It provides iron needed
after maternal iron stores deplete around 4-6
months. Vegetables (B) and fruits (C) are introduced
later, one at a time. Whole milk (D) is contraindicated
until 12 months due to iron deficiency risk and renal
solute load .
, Question 3:
A nurse is preparing to assess a 4-year-old
preschooler during a health check-up. Which nursing
action would best help reduce anxiety in this child?
A) Use extensive medical terminology to explain
your actions
B) Allow the child to role-play using miniature
equipment
C) Keep all medical equipment in full view on the
exam table
D) Separate the child from the caregiver to
encourage cooperation
Answer: B
Rationale: Preschoolers benefit from therapeutic
play, including role-playing with miniature
equipment, to reduce fear of the unknown. Medical
terminology (A) increases anxiety—use simple,
concrete terms. Keeping equipment in full view (C)
may increase fear; it's better to introduce equipment
