1. The nurse is assisting a child with celiac disease to select foods from a menu. What foods should the nurse suggest?

A. Hamburger patty with no bun
B. Spaghetti with marinara sauce
C. Corn on the cob with butter
D. Rice cakes with hummus

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Corn on the cob with butter. Corn is a gluten-free option suitable for children with celiac disease. Choice A is incorrect because the bun contains gluten, so suggesting a hamburger patty without the bun is a better option. Choice B is not ideal as spaghetti often contains gluten, but spaghetti with marinara sauce could be a safer choice if the spaghetti is gluten-free. Choice D, rice cakes with hummus, is a gluten-free alternative, but corn on the cob is a more straightforward and common choice for children.

2. What is known as providing families with information on normal growth and development and nurturing child-rearing practices before the child enters that stage of development?

A. Holistic nursing
B. Evidence-based practice
C. Morbidity
D. Anticipatory guidance

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Anticipatory guidance is the process of providing parents with information about expected developmental milestones and how to address common issues that may arise during different stages of their child's growth. This proactive approach helps parents prepare for and support their child's development. Holistic nursing (choice A) refers to a comprehensive and integrated approach to healthcare that considers the whole person. Evidence-based practice (choice B) involves making clinical decisions based on the best available evidence. Morbidity (choice C) refers to the prevalence of a disease in a population.

3. What is one focus of current health care?

A. Increased provision of nursing services
B. Disease prevention
C. Symptom management
D. Identification of disease processes

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 'Disease prevention.' Modern healthcare places emphasis on preventing diseases to enhance overall health and well-being. While nursing services, symptom management, and disease identification are crucial components of healthcare, disease prevention plays a key role in reducing the burden of illness on individuals and communities.

4. A hospitalized child with minimal change nephrotic syndrome is receiving high doses of prednisone. What nursing goal is appropriate for this child?

A. Stimulate appetite
B. Detect evidence of edema
C. Minimize risk of infection
D. Promote adherence to the antibiotic regimen

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Prednisone, an immunosuppressant, increases the child's susceptibility to infections, making infection prevention a critical nursing goal. Detecting edema and stimulating appetite are important but secondary to preventing potentially life-threatening infections.
