1. A nurse caring for a child must apply the concept of supracondylar fracture. Which action
orinterpretation is most appropriate?
A) Supracondylar humerus fractures can threaten brachial artery and nerve function, so careful
neurovascularmonitoring is essential.
B) Supracondylar Fracture eliminates the need for family involvement, safety assessment, or reassessment.
C) Supracondylar Fracture is unrelated to safe pediatric nursing care.
D) Supracondylar Fracture should be interpreted without considering developmental level.
Correct Answer: Supracondylar humerus fractures can threaten brachial artery and nerve function, so careful
neurovascular monitoring is essential.
Rationale: Supracondylar humerus fractures can threaten brachial artery and nerve function, so careful
neurovascular monitoring is essential. In practice, the nurse integrates this principle with developmental level,
family-centered care, safety, communication, and reassessment.
2. Which statement best describes cast care in Children's Health nursing?
A) Cast care includes keeping the cast dry and intact, supporting it during drying, monitoring skin and
neurovascularstatus, and reporting increasing pain or swelling.
B) Objects should be inserted under the cast to scratch
C) Increasing pain under a cast is expected and needs no assessment
D) Skin and neurovascular checks are unnecessary
Correct Answer: Cast care includes keeping the cast dry and intact, supporting it during drying, monitoring
skin and neurovascular status, and reporting increasing pain or swelling.
Rationale: Cast care includes keeping the cast dry and intact, supporting it during drying, monitoring skin and
neurovascular status, and reporting increasing pain or swelling. This is consistent with the NSG 3600 Exam 1
emphasis on growth/development and pediatric musculoskeletal nursing.
3. A nurse caring for a child must apply the concept of Erikson school age. Which action or
interpretationis most appropriate?

B) Autonomy versus shame is the school-age task
C) School-age children work through industry versus inferiority by developing competence and
accomplishment.
D) Initiative versus guilt is the school-age task
Correct Answer: School-age children work through industry versus inferiority by developing competence and
accomplishment.
Rationale: School-age children work through industry versus inferiority by developing competence and
accomplishment. In practice, the nurse integrates this principle with developmental level, family-centered care,
safety, communication, and reassessment.

C) Knee pain excludes hip pathology
D) Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is displacement through the proximal femoral growth plate and may
present withhip, thigh, or knee pain and limp in adolescents.
Correct Answer: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is displacement through the proximal femoral growth plate
and may present with hip, thigh, or knee pain and limp in adolescents.
Rationale: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is displacement through the proximal femoral growth plate and may
present with hip, thigh, or knee pain and limp in adolescents. This is consistent with the NSG 3600 Exam 1 emphasis
on growth/development and pediatric musculoskeletal nursing.
5. Which statement best describes pediatric communication in Children's Health nursing?
A) Pediatric Communication is unrelated to safe pediatric nursing care.
B) Pediatric Communication eliminates the need for family involvement, safety assessment, or
reassessment.
C) Pediatric communication should match developmental level, use concrete language when appropriate,
involvecaregivers, and allow age-appropriate participation.
D) Pediatric Communication should be interpreted without considering developmental level.
Correct Answer: Pediatric communication should match developmental level, use concrete language when
appropriate, involve caregivers, and allow age-appropriate participation.
Rationale: Pediatric communication should match developmental level, use concrete language when appropriate,
involve caregivers, and allow age-appropriate participation. This is consistent with the NSG 3600 Exam 1 emphasis
on growth/development and pediatric musculoskeletal nursing.

concrete aspects of care. This is consistent with the NSG 3600 Exam 1 emphasis on growth/development and
pediatric musculoskeletal nursing.
7. Which statement best describes pediatric pain assessment in Children's Health nursing?
A) Pediatric Pain Assessment is unrelated to safe pediatric nursing care.
B) Pediatric pain assessment should use age- and development-appropriate tools plus behavioral and
physiologiccues when self-report is limited.
C) Pediatric Pain Assessment should be interpreted without considering developmental level.
D) Pediatric Pain Assessment eliminates the need for family involvement, safety assessment, or
reassessment.
Correct Answer: Pediatric pain assessment should use age- and development-appropriate tools plus
