- A. Double = 20 lbs
- B.
- C.

Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. A child is expected to double their birth weight by 6 months. This is a common guideline used to monitor healthy growth and development in infants. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not provide the expected weight based on the given information.

- A. "We should watch for aggressive play."
- B. "Our child may show lasting symptoms of stress."
- C. "We know that our child will show caring behaviors."
- D. "Our child may have difficulty concentrating in school."

3. A 12-year-old child is injured in a bicycle accident. When considering the possibility of renal trauma, the nurse should consider what factor?
- A. Flank pain rarely occurs in children with renal injuries.
- B. Few nonpenetrating injuries cause renal trauma in children.
- C. Kidneys are immobile, well protected, and rarely injured in children.
- D. The amount of hematuria is not a reliable indicator of the seriousness of renal injury.
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The amount of hematuria is not a reliable indicator of the severity of renal trauma, as even minor injuries can cause significant bleeding, while severe injuries may result in little or no visible blood. Renal trauma should be evaluated through imaging and clinical assessment.
4. The nurse is planning to provide education about foods containing thiamine to a group of clients. Which food high in thiamine should the nurse include?
- A. Fish
- B. Pork
- C. Beef
- D. Eggs
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pork. Pork is high in thiamine, which is important for preventing thiamine deficiency. Thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1, is essential for the body's metabolism and proper functioning of the nervous system. While fish, beef, and eggs are nutritious foods, they do not contain as high levels of thiamine as pork does. Therefore, when educating clients about thiamine-rich foods, pork would be the most appropriate choice.
