Nursing Elites

1. 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.

2. Which is the most frequently used test for measuring visual acuity?

• A. Snellen letter chart
• B. Ishihara vision test
• C. Allen picture card test
• D. Denver eye screening test

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The Snellen letter chart is the most commonly used test for measuring visual acuity, particularly in school-age children and adults.

3. Which immunization should the nurse include in a teaching session for parents of toddler-age clients to decrease the risk for epiglottitis?

• A. Hepatitis B
• B. Polio
• C. Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
• D. Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine. Hib vaccine is crucial in preventing epiglottitis, a serious respiratory condition caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b bacteria. This vaccine is recommended for toddlers to protect them from developing epiglottitis. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because while they are important vaccines for children, they do not specifically target the prevention of epiglottitis, unlike the Hib vaccine.

4. Children may believe that they are responsible for their parents' divorce and interpret the separation as punishment. At which age is this most likely to occur?

• A. 1 year
• B. 4 years
• C. 8 years
• D. 13 years

Correct answer: C

Rationale: At around 8 years old, children may feel they are responsible for their parents' divorce and view it as a punishment, which can impact their emotional well-being.

5. Which clinical manifestations should the nurse expect in a child diagnosed with nephroblastoma?

• A. Atrial fibrillation
• B. Endocarditis
• C. Hyperlipidemia
• D. Hypertension

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypertension. Nephroblastoma, also known as Wilms' tumor, often causes hypertension due to its impact on the kidney, which plays a role in regulating blood pressure. Atrial fibrillation (choice A) and endocarditis (choice B) are not typically associated with nephroblastoma. Hyperlipidemia (choice C) is also not a common clinical manifestation of nephroblastoma.
