include information about childhood obesity because it is the most common problem
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
among children and is associated with type 2 diabetes. Teaching parents about ways to prevent
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
obesity is important to include. Immunization rates differ depending on the child‘s race and
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
ethnicity; dental caries continues to be a common chronic disease in childhood; and mental

there is not time for it to be effective.

ANS: s s C
The overriding goal in providing atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child, a choice
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
of juice to drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of control. The
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
preschool child should be prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of procedures
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
would increase anxiety. The family should be allowed to stay with the child during procedures,
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
minimizing stress. Lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream is a topical local anesthetic. The nurse
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
should plan to use the prescribed cream in time for morning laboratory draws to minimize pain.

d. Female, reacts negatively to new situations, no serious

previous injuries
ss ss
ANS: s s B
Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
characteristics, a high activity temperament is associated with risk-taking behaviors, and stress
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
predisposes children to increased risk taking and self-destructive behaviors. Therefore, a male
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
child with a high activity level and living in a stressful environment has the highest number of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
risk factors. A girl with several siblings and a stable home life is low risk. A boy with
ss ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s
previous injuries has two risk factors, but an even temper is not a risk factor for injuries. A girl
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
who reacts negatively to new situations but has no previous serious illnesses has only one risk
ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
factor.
