Test Bank for Wong's Essentials of Pediatric Nursing 11th Edition Hockenberry Rodgers Wilson.pdf

The Test Bank for Wong's Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 11th Edition by Hockenberry, Rodgers, and Wilson provides students with an extensive collection of practice questions to help them master pediatric nursing concepts. This test bank is designed to support students as they prepare for exams, providing a comprehensive review of key topics related to pediatric nursing. Below is an overview of the topics covered in the test bank along with sample questions to illustrate the content. Key Topics Covered in the Test Bank Nursing Care of the Newborn Neonatal assessments (e.g., Apgar scores, newborn screening) Common neonatal conditions (e.g., jaundice, respiratory distress syndrome) Breastfeeding and newborn care Parenting and family-centered care in the neonatal period Growth and Development Stages of growth and development (e.g., physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development) Theories of child development (e.g., Piaget, Erikson, and Freud) Developmental milestones from infancy to adolescence Cultural considerations in pediatric development Assessment of the Pediatric Patient Pediatric physical assessment techniques and methods Vital sign interpretation and age-related variations Pain assessment in children Family dynamics and cultural influences on care Pediatric Pharmacology Pediatric drug dosages and calculations Administration techniques (e.g., oral, IV, IM) Safety considerations in pediatric pharmacology Common pediatric medications and their side effects Common Pediatric Illnesses Respiratory conditions (e.g., asthma, pneumonia, croup) Infectious diseases (e.g., chickenpox, RSV, gastroenteritis) Cardiovascular conditions (e.g., congenital heart defects, Kawasaki disease) Endocrine conditions (e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism) Nursing Care of the Child with Chronic Conditions Chronic illnesses in pediatrics (e.g., cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia) Multidisciplinary care and coordination Psychosocial aspects of chronic illness in children and their families Education for managing chronic conditions at home Pediatric Emergency Care Pediatric triage and emergency assessments Common pediatric emergencies (e.g., trauma, poisoning, shock) First aid for children Emergency response protocols and family education Nursing Care of the Child Undergoing Surgery Preoperative and postoperative care in pediatric patients Pain management and comfort measures Postoperative complications and care Parental involvement and support Psychosocial Issues in Pediatric Nursing Addressing emotional and behavioral concerns in children Coping strategies for children and families dealing with illness Pediatric palliative care and end-of-life care Communication with children and families in distress Sample Questions from the Test Bank Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) Which of the following is the most appropriate intervention for a newborn with respiratory distress syndrome? A) Administering antibiotics B) Providing supplemental oxygen and respiratory support C) Encouraging oral feeding D) Monitoring temperature with a warm compress Answer: B) Providing supplemental oxygen and respiratory support (Respiratory distress syndrome in neonates often requires respiratory support, such as oxygen or mechanical ventilation, to manage underdeveloped lung function.) A 3-year-old child is admitted with a diagnosis of asthma. Which of the following is a priority nursing intervention during an asthma attack? A) Administering an oral antibiotic B) Encouraging the child to take deep breaths C) Administering a bronchodilator as prescribed D) Providing oxygen via a nasal cannula Answer: C) Administering a bronchodilator as prescribed (During an asthma attack, bronchodilators help to open the airways, which is the most critical intervention.) Which of the following is a common early sign of dehydration in an infant? A) Increased urination B) Moist mucous membranes C) Sunken fontanels D) Weight gain Answer: C) Sunken fontanels (Sunken fontanels are an early sign of dehydration in infants.) What is the primary nursing action when a child is experiencing an allergic reaction with wheezing and hives? A) Apply a cold compress to the skin B) Administer an antihistamine as prescribed C) Administer epinephrine and monitor respiratory status D) Keep the child in a prone position Answer: C) Administer epinephrine and monitor respiratory status (An allergic reaction with wheezing and hives requires immediate intervention with epinephrine to prevent further respiratory distress.) True/False Questions True or False: A 12-month-old child should be able to walk with assistance and say a few words, such as "mama" or "dada."** Answer: True (At 12 months, many infants begin walking with support and may say simple words.) True or False: It is recommended to introduce solid foods to a newborn's diet at 4 months of age.** Answer: False (The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends starting solid foods around 6 months of age.) Scenario-Based Questions Scenario: A 4-year-old child presents with a high fever, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing. The child is diagnosed with tonsillitis. What should the nurse include in the care plan for this child?** A) Encourage the child to rest and provide cool fluids B) Administer antipyretics only when the fever is higher than 103°F C) Withhold fluids to prevent aspiration D) Immediately prepare the child for surgery Answer: A) Encourage the child to rest and provide cool fluids (For tonsillitis, supportive care such as rest and hydration is important. Antibiotics may be prescribed if the condition is bacterial.) Scenario: A 7-year-old child is admitted with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The child’s blood glucose level is 350 mg/dL. What should the nurse do first?** A) Give the child a snack to increase blood sugar B) Administer the prescribed insulin dose C) Monitor for signs of hypoglycemia D) Call the healthcare provider for further orders Answer: B) Administer the prescribed insulin dose (In cases of hyperglycemia, the first intervention is to administer the prescribed insulin to bring blood glucose levels down.) Short Answer Questions Describe the nursing interventions for a child with severe asthma exacerbation. Answer: Nursing interventions for a child with severe asthma exacerbation include administering bronchodilators and corticosteroids as prescribed, providing oxygen therapy if needed, monitoring vital signs and oxygen saturation, positioning the child in an upright position to promote optimal airflow, and educating the child and family about asthma management. What are some signs of dehydration in an infant, and how should a nurse manage it? Answer: Signs of dehydration in an infant include a dry mouth, decreased urine output, sunken fontanels, and lethargy. Management includes increasing fluid intake (oral rehydration solutions or IV fluids if necessary), monitoring for signs of further dehydration, and addressing the underlying cause (e.g., diarrhea or vomiting). Conclusion The Test Bank for Wong's Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 11th Edition by Hockenberry, Rodgers, and Wilson is an excellent resource for nursing students to practice and enhance their pediatric nursing knowledge. It provides a wide range of questions that cover essential aspects of pediatric care, from neonatology to adolescence, ensuring students are well-prepared for exams and clinical practice. By working through this test bank, students can improve their understanding of common pediatric conditions, nursing interventions, and family-centered care.
