Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to, according to the child‘s age? a. Physical health of the child b. Developmental level of the child c. Educational level of the child d. Number of responsible adults in the home ANS: B The child‘s developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur. The child‘s physical health may facilitate the child‘s recovery from an injury but does not impact the type of injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is not as important as the child‘s developmental level in determining the type of injury. The number of responsible adults in the home may affect the number of unintentional injuries, but the type of injury is related to the child‘s developmental stage.

Which is now referred to as the ―new morbidity‖? a. Limitations in the major activities of daily living b. Unintentional injuries that cause chronic health problems c. Discoveries of new therapies to treat health problems d. Behavioral, social, and educational prob- lems that alter health ANS: D The new morbidity reflects the behavioral, social, and educational problems that interfere with the child‘s social and academic development. It is currently estimated that the incidence of these issues is from 5% to 30%. Limitations in major activities of daily living and unintentional injuries that result in chronic health problems are included in morbidity data. Discovery of new therapies would be reflected in changes in morbidity data over time.

A nurse on a pediatric unit is practicing family -centered ca re. Which is most descriptive of the care the nurse is delivering? Hockenberry: Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 10th Edition TEST BANK a. Taking over total care of the child to reduce stress on the family b. Encouraging family dependence on health care systems c. Recognizing that the family is the constant in a child‘s life d. Excluding families from the decision -mak- ing process ANS: C The three key components of family -centered care are respect, collaboration, and support. Family -centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the child‘s life. Taking over total care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead of reducing stress. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health care system. The family is expected to be part of the decision -making process.

The nurse is preparing an in-service education to staff about atraumatic care for pediatric patients. Which intervention should the nurse include? a. Prepare the child for separation from par - ents during hospitalization by reviewing a video. b. Prepare the child before any unfamiliar treatment or procedure by demonstrating on a stuffed animal. c. Help the child accept the loss of control associated with hospitalization. d. Help the child accept pain that is connected with a treatment or procedure. ANS: B Preparing the child for any unfamiliar treatments, controlling pain, allowing privacy, providing play activities for expression of fear and aggression, providing choices, and respecting cultural differences are components of atraumatic c are. In the provision of atraumatic care, the separation of child from parents during hospitalization is minimized. The nurse should promote a sense of control for the child. Preventing and minimizing bodily injury and pain are major components of atraumat ic care.

Which is most suggestive that a nurse has a nontherapeutic relationship with a patient and family? a. Staff is concerned about the nurse‘s actions with the patient and family. Hockenberry: Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 10th Edition TEST BANK b. Staff assignments allow the nurse to care for same patient and family over an extend - ed time. c. Nurse is able to withdraw emotionally when emotional overload occurs but still remains committed. d. Nurse uses teaching skills to instruct pa- tient and family rather than doing every - thing for them. ANS: A An clue to a nontherapeutic staff -patient relationship is concern of other staff members. Allowing the nurse to care for the same patient over time would be therapeutic for the patient and family. Nurses who are able to somewhat withdraw emotionally can protect themselves while providing therapeutic care. Nurses using teaching skills to instruc t patient and family will assist in transitioning the child and family to self -care.

Which action by the nurse demonstrates use of evidence -based practice (EBP)? a. Gathering equipment for a procedure b. Documenting changes in a patient‘s status c. Questioning the use of daily central line dressing changes d. Clarifying a physician‘s prescription for morphine ANS: C The nurse who questions the daily central line dressing change is ascertaining whether clinical interventions result in positive outcomes for patients. This demonstrates EBP, which implies questioning why something is effective and whether a better approach exists. Gathering equipment for a procedure and documenting changes in a patient‘s status are practices that follow established guidelines. Clarifying a physician‘s prescription for morphine constitutes safe nursing care.

A nurse is admitting a toddler to the hospital. The toddler is with both parents and is currently sitting comfortably on a parent‘s lap. The parents state they will need to leave for a brief period. Which type of nursing diagnosis should the nurse formulate for this child? a. Risk for anxiety b. Anxiety c. Readiness for enhanced coping d. Ineffective coping ANS: A A potential problem is categorized as a risk. The toddler has a risk to become anxious when the parents leave. Nursing interventions will be geared toward reducing the risk. The child is not showing current anxiety or ineffective coping. The child is not at a point for readiness for enhanced coping, especially because the parents will be leaving.

A child has a postoperative appendectomy incision covered by a dressing. The nurse has just completed a prescribed dressing change for this child. Which description is an accurate documentation of this procedure? a. Dressing change to appendectomy incision completed, child tolerated procedure well, parent present b. No complications noted during dressing change to appendectomy incision Hockenberry: Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 10th Edition TEST BANK c. Appendectomy incision non -reddened, su - tures intact, no drainage noted on old dress - ing, new dressing applied, procedure toler- ated well by child d. No changes to appendectomy incisional area, dressing changed, child complained of pain during procedure, new dressing clean, dry and intact ANS: C The nurse should document assessments and reassessments. Appearance of the incision described in objective terms should be included during a dressing change. The nurse should document patient‘s response and the outcomes of the care provided. In this exampl e, these include drainage on the old dressing, the application of the new dressing, and the child‘s response. The other statements partially fulfill the requirements of documenting assessments and reassessments, patient‘s response, and outcome, but do not include all three.

A nurse is planning a class on accident prevention for parents of toddlers. Which safety topic is the priority for this class? a. Appropriate use of car seat restraints b. Safety crossing the street c. Helmet use when riding a bicycle d. Poison control numbers ANS: A Motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) continue to be the most common cause of death in children older than 1 year, therefore the priority topic is appropriate use of car seat restraints. Safety crossing the street and bicycle helmet use are topics that should be included for preschool parents but are not priorities for parents of toddlers. Information about poison control is important for parents of toddlers and would be a safety topic to include but is not the priority over appropriate use of car seat restraints.

A nurse is collecting subjective and objective information about target populations to diagnose problems based on community needs. This describes which step in the community nursing process? a. Planning b. Diagnosis c. Assessment d. Establishing objectives ANS: C The nursing process stages are similar, whether the client is one child or a population of Hockenberry: Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 10th Edition TEST BANK children. The assessment phase of the nursing process focuses on collecting subjective and objective data. Planning is the development of community -centered goals and objectives. Diagnosis is the identification of problems specific to the community.

A nurse is establishing several health programs, such as bicycle safety, to improve the health status of a target population. This describes which step in the community nursing process? a. Planning b. Evaluation c. Assessment d. Implementation ANS: D The nurse working with the community to put into practice a program to reach community goals is the implementation phase of the community nursing process. Planning involves designing the program to meet community -centered goals. The evaluation stage would determine the effectiveness of the progr am. During the assessment phase, the nurse would identify the resources necessary and the barriers that would interfere with implementation.

A school nurse is conducting vision and hearing testing on fifth-grade children. Which level of prevention is the nurse demonstrating? a. Primary b. Secondary c. Tertiary d. Health promotion ANS: B Secondary prevention focuses on screening and early diagnosis of disease. Vision and hearing testing are screening tests to detect problems. Primary prevention focuses on health promo - tion and prevention of disease or injury. Tertiary prevention focuses on optimizing function for children with a disability or chronic disease. Health promotion is focused on preventing disease or illness.

The home health nurse asks a child‘s mother many questions as part of the assessment. The mother answers many questions, then stops and says, ―I don‘t know why you ask me all this. Who gets to know this information?‖ The nurse should take which action? a. Determine why the mother is so suspicious. Hockenberry: Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 10th Edition TEST BANK b. Determine what the mother does not want to tell. c. Explain who will have access to the infor - mation. d. Explain that everything is confidential and that no one else will know what is said. ANS: C Communication with the family should not be invasive. The nurse needs to explain the importance of collecting the information, its applicability to the child‘s care, and who will have access to the information. The mother is not being suspicious and is not necessarily withholding important information. She has a right to understand how the information she provides will be used. The nurse will need to share, through both oral and written communi - cation, clinically relevant information with other involved health professionals. DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply REF: p. 9 TOP: Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation MSC: Area of Client Needs: Safe and Effective Care Environment: Management of Care 22. When communicating with other professionals, what is important for the nurse to do? a. Ask others what they want to know. b. Share everything known about the family. c. Restrict communication to clinically rele- vant information. d. Recognize that confidentiality is not possi - ble. ANS: C The nurse will need to share, through both oral and written communication, clinically relevant information with other involved health professionals. Asking others what they want to know and sharing everything known about the family is inappropriate. Patients have a right to confidentiality. The nurse is not permitted to share information ab out clients, except clinically relevant information that pertains to the child‘s care. Confidentiality permits the disclosure of information to other health professionals on a need -to-know basis.

A nurse manager at a home -care agency is planning a continuing education program for the home -care staff nurses. Which type of continuing education program should the nurse manager plan? a. On-line training modules b. A structured written teaching module each nurse completes individually c. A workshop training day, with a profession - al speaker, where nurses can interact with each other Hockenberry: Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 10th Edition TEST BANK d. One-on-one continuing education training with each nurse ANS: C Because of the unique practice environment of home care nurses, it is important for an agency to facilitate sharing among peers to decrease work -related stress, increase job satisfaction, and support high -quality patient care. On -line training, written teaching modules, and one-on-one training would not allow for any sharing with peers.

Asking questions if families are not partici - pating in the care c. Clarifying information for families d. Buying toys for a hospitalized child e. Learning about the family‘s religious pref- erences ANS: B, C, E Asking questions if families are not participating in the care, clarifying information for families, and learning about the family‘s religious preferences are positive actions and foster therapeutic relationships with children and families. Spending off -duty time with children and families and buying toys for a hospitalized child are negative actions and indicate overinvolvement with children and families, which is nontherapeutic.

A nurse is selecting a family theory to assess a patient‘s family dynamics. Which family theory best describes a series of tasks for the family throughout its life span? a. Interactional theory b. Developmental systems theory c. Structural -functional theory d. Duvall‘s developmental theory ANS: D Duvall‘s developmental theory describes eight developmental tasks of the family throughout its life span. Interactional theory and structural -functional theory are not family theories. Hockenberry: Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, 10th Edition TEST BANK Developmental systems theory is an outgrowth of Duvall‘s theory. The family is described as a small group, a semiclosed system of personalities that interact with the larger cultural system. Changes do not occur in one part of the family without changes in others.

Which family theory explains how families react to stressful events and suggests factors that promote adaptation to these events? a. Interactional theory b. Developmental systems theory c. Family stress theory d. Duvall‘s developmental theory ANS: C Family stress theory explains the reaction of families to stressful events. In addition, the theory helps suggest factors that promote adaptation to the stress. Stressors, both positive and negative, are cumulative and affect the family. Adaptation requires a change in family structure or interaction. Interactional theory is not a family theory. Interactions are the basis of general systems theory. Developmental systems theory is an outgrowth of Duvall‘s theory. The family is described as a small group, a semiclosed system of personalities that interact with the larger cultural system. Changes do not occur in one part of the family without changes in others. Duvall‘s developmental theory describes eight dev elopmental tasks of the family throughout its life span.
