Nursing Elites

1. The nurse is caring for a child with Neuroblastoma. Where is the tumor most commonly located?

• A. Bone
• B. Kidneys
• C. Cortex
• D. Abdomen

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Neuroblastoma is a cancer that commonly originates in the adrenal glands located in the abdomen. It can also occur in nerve tissues along the spine, but it is most frequently found in the abdominal region. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as Neuroblastoma typically arises from neural crest cells in the adrenal glands or sympathetic ganglia, not in the bones, kidneys, or cortex.

2. Which type of family should the nurse recognize when the paternal grandmother, the parents, and two minor children live together?

• A. Blended
• B. Nuclear
• C. Extended
• D. Binuclear

Correct answer: C

Rationale: An extended family includes relatives such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other extended family members living together, beyond just the nuclear family unit.

3. Parents of a preschool child ask the nurse, "Should we set rules for our child as part of a discipline plan?" Which is an accurate response by the nurse?

• A. It is best to delay the punishment if a rule is broken.
• B. The child is too young for rules. At this age, unrestricted freedom is best.
• C. It is best to set the rules and reason with the child when the rules are broken.
• D. Set clear and reasonable rules and expect the same behavior regardless of the circumstances.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Clear and reasonable rules provide structure and help children understand expectations, promoting consistent behavior and discipline.

4. A child is admitted with acute glomerulonephritis. What should the nurse expect the urinalysis during this acute phase to show?

• A. Bacteriuria and hematuria
• B. Hematuria and proteinuria
• C. Bacteriuria and increased specific gravity
• D. Proteinuria and decreased specific gravity

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Hematuria (blood in the urine) and proteinuria (protein in the urine) are common findings in acute glomerulonephritis due to inflammation of the glomeruli. Bacteriuria and changes in specific gravity are not as directly associated with this condition.

5. A new mom is ready to introduce solid foods to her infant. Which food would you recommend starting with?

• A. Meat
• B. Rice cereal
• C. Fruits
• D. Vegetables

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rice cereal. Rice cereal is typically the first solid food introduced to infants because it is easy to digest and unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Starting with rice cereal helps assess the baby's readiness for solid foods and reduces the risk of allergic responses. Choice A (Meat) is not recommended as the initial solid food due to its higher allergenic potential. Choices C (Fruits) and D (Vegetables) are also not usually recommended as the first solid food, as they may be more challenging for infants to digest compared to rice cereal.
