Nursing Elites

1. The healthcare provider is providing teaching about Social Development to the parents of a preschooler. Which of the following play activities should the provider recommend for the child?

• A. Playing pat-a-cake
• B. Using a push-pull toy
• C. Creating a scrapbook
• D. Playing dress-up

Correct answer: D

Rationale: During the preschool age, play activities should promote social, mental, and physical development. Playing dress-up encourages imagination, creativity, and social interaction, making it an ideal play activity for preschoolers.

2. When teaching a parent of a child with hemophilia, which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

• A. Administer aspirin for pain.
• B. Avoid administering NSAIDs.
• C. Restrict physical activities.
• D. Apply heat to joints.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Avoid administering NSAIDs.' Hemophilia is a condition where blood does not clot properly. NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) can increase the risk of bleeding in individuals with hemophilia. Therefore, it is crucial for the parent to avoid giving their child NSAIDs for pain management to prevent exacerbating bleeding tendencies. Choice A is incorrect because aspirin, like NSAIDs, can also increase the risk of bleeding. Choice C is incorrect because physical activities should not be restricted but rather managed to prevent injuries that could lead to bleeding. Choice D is incorrect because applying heat to joints can worsen bleeding in individuals with hemophilia.

3. What is functional behavior analysis?

• A. Systematic observation of behavior
• B. Standardized assessment
• C. Multiple choice examination
• D. Parent-teacher questionnaire

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Functional behavior analysis involves systematically observing behavior to understand its function and context. It focuses on identifying the antecedents and consequences that maintain or influence behavior. This systematic observation helps in determining patterns, triggers, and maintaining factors of behavior. Standardized assessments (choice B) involve using specific tools or tests to measure a person's performance or behavior but do not focus on observation. Multiple choice examinations (choice C) and parent-teacher questionnaires (choice D) are not synonymous with functional behavior analysis as they do not involve direct observation of behavior for analysis.

4. For a 6-year-old child with hypokalemia, which menu choice should the nurse encourage?

• A. Pizza with a fruit plate
• B. Chicken strips with chips
• C. Fajita with rice
• D. Hamburger with French fries

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Pizza with a fruit plate is the most suitable choice for a 6-year-old child with hypokalemia due to its potassium content. Potassium-rich foods like fruits can help replenish potassium levels in the body, aiding in the treatment of hypokalemia.

5. How would you best evaluate the clinical usefulness of a test?

• A. Decide on using a single test for all clients and families
• B. Consider what needs to be collected and discuss with colleagues
• C. Ask the family for a test suggestion
• D. Read the statistical methods used to validate the scores

Correct answer: B

Rationale: When evaluating the clinical usefulness of a test, the best approach is to consider what specific information needs to be collected based on the clients' needs. Discussing these considerations with colleagues helps in ensuring that the chosen test is appropriate and beneficial for the individuals being assessed. Choice A is incorrect as using a single test for all clients may not account for individual differences. Choice C is incorrect as the family's suggestion alone may not align with clinical needs. Choice D is incorrect as understanding statistical methods alone may not fully capture the clinical utility of a test.
