CHAPTER 1: PEDIATRIC GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT, AND GENERAL NURSING CARE
Question 1
A phone triage nurse is talking to the parents of a toddler who states, "My child has
placed a bead in his nose and I don't know what to do". Which of the following is an
appropriate response by the nurse?
A. Try removing the bead using a pair of tweezers
B. Take your child to the pediatrician in the morning
C. Take your child to the emergency department now
D. Have your child blow his nose to dislodge the bead
ANSWER : C. Take your child to the emergency department now
Rationale: If a toddler has placed a foreign body (like a bead) in their nose, they should be taken to
the emergency department immediately. Toddlers are at a high risk for aspirating foreign objects
into their trachea or lungs, which can cause sudden, life-threatening airway obstruction. Attempting
to remove the bead with tweezers (Option A) can push it further into the nasal cavity or airway.
Waiting until the morning (Option B) is unsafe due to the ongoing risk of aspiration. Having a
toddler blow their nose (Option D) is often ineffective and may cause the child to inhale sharply,
drawing the object deeper.

CHAPTER 2: PEDIATRIC PHARMACOLOGY AND DOSAGE CALCULATIONS
Question 2
A nurse is teaching an adolescent who has a prescription for nystatin (Troche) orally.
Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?
A. "Rinse immediately following the troche."
B. "You should avoid taking the troche with milk."
C. "Avoid taking anything by mouth 30 mins after taking the troche."
D. "You should chew the troche completely."
ANSWER : C. "Avoid taking anything by mouth 30 mins after taking the troche."
Rationale: Oral nystatin troches (lozenges) are used to treat oral candidiasis (thrush). The
medication must dissolve slowly in the mouth to maintain direct contact with the oral mucosa. The
client should avoid eating or drinking anything for at least 30 minutes after the troche dissolves
(Option C) to prevent washing the medication away from the mucosal surfaces. Rinsing
immediately (Option A) or chewing the troche (Option D) would reduce the medication's local
effectiveness. There is no specific contraindication regarding milk (Option B).
