,Q1 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A child with nephrotic syndrome is prescribed prednisone 2 mg/kg/day in three
divided doses. The child weighs 17.6 lb. How many mg should the nurse
administer per dose?
A. 5.3 mg CORRECT
B. 8 mg
C. 16 mg
D. 24 mg
RATIONALE: Convert weight: 17.6 lb ÷ 2.2 = 8 kg. Total daily dose = 2 mg/kg × 8 kg = 16 mg.
Divided into 3 doses = 5.33 mg/dose, rounded to 5.3 mg. Option B is the total daily dose, C is the
total daily dose incorrectly doubled, D is the total daily dose for a 12 kg child.
Q2 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A nurse is assessing a 6-month-old infant. Which finding should alert the nurse to
a potential developmental delay?
A. Rolls from back to side
B. Bears weight on legs when held standing
C. Has a strong grasp reflex CORRECT
D. Sits briefly without support
RATIONALE: The grasp reflex typically disappears by 3-4 months; persistence at 6 months
suggests neurological delay. Rolling from back to side, bearing weight on legs, and sitting briefly
are expected at 6 months.

,Q3 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parents of a child with a new
diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which statement by the parents indicates a
need for further teaching?
A. We will give insulin glargine at bedtime.
B. We will rotate injection sites within the same region.
C. We will use the abdomen for rapid-acting insulin injections.
D. We will store opened insulin vials in the refrigerator. CORRECT
RATIONALE: Opened insulin vials are stable at room temperature for up to 28 days; refrigeration
can cause pain on injection and is unnecessary. The other statements are correct: glargine is
given at bedtime, rotation within a region is recommended, and the abdomen is preferred for
rapid-acting insulin.
Q4 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A nurse is caring for a child with a ventricular septal defect. Which finding is most
indicative of developing heart failure?
A. Bounding pulses
B. Weight gain of 0.5 kg in 1 week CORRECT
C. Increased urine output
D. Decreased respiratory rate
RATIONALE: Rapid weight gain is an early sign of fluid retention and heart failure in children with
left-to-right shunts. Bounding pulses are common in VSD but not specific for HF. Increased urine
output and decreased respiratory rate are not signs of HF; HF causes oliguria and tachypnea.

, Q5 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A nurse is planning care for a child with sickle cell disease experiencing a
vaso-occlusive crisis. Which intervention is contraindicated?
A. Administering meperidine for pain
B. Applying cold compresses to painful joints CORRECT
C. Encouraging oral fluids to 1.5 times maintenance
D. Providing supplemental oxygen for hypoxia
RATIONALE: Cold compresses cause vasoconstriction, worsening sickling and pain; warmth is
preferred. Meperidine is avoided due to seizure risk, but it is not contraindicated in all
cases-however, the question asks for contraindicated intervention, and cold is clearly harmful.
Fluids and oxygen are standard care.
Q6 DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF CORE CONCEPTS
A nurse is assessing a child with suspected lead poisoning. Which finding is most
consistent with chronic lead exposure?
A. Hyperactivity and learning difficulties CORRECT
B. Acute abdominal pain and vomiting
C. Metallic taste in the mouth
D. Peripheral neuropathy with foot drop
RATIONALE: Chronic low-level lead exposure commonly presents with neurobehavioral issues
such as hyperactivity, attention deficits, and learning difficulties. Acute exposure causes
abdominal pain, vomiting, and metallic taste. Peripheral neuropathy is a severe manifestation but
less common in children.
