1. The healthcare provider is explaining to a 17-year-old female the actions to prevent urinary tract infection. Which is the best beverage for the healthcare provider to recommend to keep urine acidic?

• A. Milk
• B. Grape juice
• C. Apple juice
• D. Orange juice

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To maintain the acidity of urine and potentially prevent urinary tract infections, juices such as apple or cranberry are recommended due to their ability to create an acidic environment in the urinary tract that may help inhibit bacterial growth.

2. Which frame of reference emphasizes techniques to teach children movement that resemble coaching?

• A. Motor control/motor learning
• B. Rehabilitation
• C. Biomechanical
• D. Ayres' sensory integration

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct frame of reference that emphasizes techniques to teach children movement resembling coaching is Motor control/motor learning. This approach focuses on improving movement skills through techniques that are similar to coaching methods. It helps children develop and refine their motor skills in a structured and goal-oriented manner. Rehabilitation, Biomechanical, and Ayres' sensory integration have different emphases and objectives in therapy, making them incorrect choices for this question.

3. A parent is receiving discharge teaching following their infant's hypospadias repair. Which instruction should the parent follow?

• A. Apply a warm compress to the infant's surgical site twice daily.
• B. Avoid giving the infant a tub bath for 1 week.
• C. Apply an antibiotic ointment to the infant's penis daily.
• D. Clamp the infant's catheter for 30 minutes every 4 hours.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: After hypospadias repair, it is essential to avoid giving the infant a tub bath for 1 week to prevent infection and promote proper healing. Submerging the surgical site in water too soon can increase the risk of infection and compromise the healing process.

• B. Wheezing
• C. Insomnia

5. A 7-year-old child with acute glomerulonephritis has gross hematuria and has been confined to bed. What is the most appropriate nursing intervention for this child?

• A. Providing activities for the child on restricted activity
• B. Feeding the child a protein-restricted diet
• C. Carefully handling edematous extremities
• D. Observing the child for evidence of hypotension

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The most appropriate nursing intervention for a 7-year-old child with acute glomerulonephritis experiencing gross hematuria and bed rest is to provide activities for the child on restricted activity. It is important to keep the child engaged in light activities to prevent boredom and maintain some level of physical and mental well-being. Feeding a protein-restricted diet (Choice B) is not typically indicated in this scenario unless ordered by a healthcare provider to manage kidney function. Carefully handling edematous extremities (Choice C) is important in conditions like nephrotic syndrome but is not directly related to providing appropriate care for a child with acute glomerulonephritis. Observing the child for evidence of hypotension (Choice D) is important in general nursing care but is not the most immediate or specific intervention needed for a child with acute glomerulonephritis experiencing gross hematuria and bed rest.
