2. Parents of a hospitalized toddler ask the nurse, “What is meant by family-
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
centered care?” The nurse should respond with which statement?
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
a. Family-centered care reduces the effect of cultural diversity on the family. wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
b. Family-centered care encourages family dependence on the health care system. wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
c. Family-centered care recognizes that the family is the constant in a child’s life. wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
d. Family-centered care avoids expecting families to be part of the decision- wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
making process. wd
ANS: C wd
The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support. Family-
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
centered care recognizes the family as the constant in the child’s life. The family should be enabled and
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
empowered to work with the health care system and is expected to be part of the decision-
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
making process. The nurse should also support the family’s cultural diversity, not reduce its effect.

4. The nurse is talking to a group of parents of school-age children at an after-
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
school program about childhood health problems. Which statement should the nurse include in the
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
teaching?
a. Childhood obesity is the most common nutritional problem among children. wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
b. Immunization rates are the same among children of different races and ethnicity. wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
c. Dental caries is not a problem commonly seen in children since the introduction of fl
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
uorinated water. wd
d. Mental health problems are typically not seen in school- wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
age children but may be diagnosed in adolescents.
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
ANS: A wd
When teaching parents of school- wd wd wd wd
age children about childhood health problems, the nurse should include information about childhood ob
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
esity because it is the most common problem among children and is associated with type 2 diabetes. Tea
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
ching parents about ways to prevent obesity is important to include. Immunization rates differ dependin
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
g on the child’s race and ethnicity; dental caries continues to be a common chronic disease in childhood;
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
and mental health problems are seen in children as young as school age, not just in adolescents.

5. The nurse is planning care for a hospitalized preschool-
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
aged child. Which should the nurse plan to ensure atraumatic care?
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
a. Limit explanation of procedures because the child is preschool aged.
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
b. Ask that all family members leave the room when performing procedures.
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
c. Allow the child to choose the type of juice to drink with the administration of oral m
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
edications.
d. Explain that EMLA cream cannot be used for the morning lab draw because there is
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
not time for it to be effective. wd wd wd wd wd wd
ANS: C wd
The overriding goal in providing atraumatic care is first, do no harm. Allowing the child, a choice of juic
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
e to drink when taking oral medications provides the child with a sense of control. The preschool child sh
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
ould be prepared before procedures, so limiting explanations of procedures would increase anxiety. The
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd w
family should be allowed to stay with the child during procedures, minimizing stress.
d wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
Lidocaine/prilocaine (EMLA) cream is a topical local anesthetic. The nurse should plan to use the prescribed wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
cream in time for morning laboratory draws to minimize pain.

a. Preschool
b. Young school age wd wd
c. Middle school age wd wd

ANS: A wd
Preschool children have the cognitive characteristic of magical and egocentric thinking, meaning they ar
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
e unable to comprehend danger to self or others. Young and middle school-
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
aged children have transitional cognitive processes, and they may attempt dangerous acts without detaile
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
d planning but recognize danger to themselves or others. Adolescents have formal operational cognitive p
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
rocesses and are preoccupied with abstract thinking. wd wd wd wd wd wd

8. The school nurse is assessing children for risk factors related to childhood injuries. Which child has th
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
e most risk factors related to childhood injury?
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
a. Female, multiple siblings, stable home life wd wd wd wd wd
b. Male, high activity level, stressful home life wd wd wd wd wd wd
c. Male, even tempered, history of previous injuries wd wd wd wd wd wd
d. Female, reacts negatively to new situations, no serious previous injuries wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
ANS: B wd
Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral characteristics, a
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
high activity temperament is associated with risk-
wd wd wd wd wd wd
taking behaviors, and stress predisposes children to increased risk taking and self-
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
destructive behaviors. Therefore, a male child with a high activity level and living in a stressful environ
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
ment has the highest number of risk factors. A girl with several siblings and a stable home life is low risk.
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
A boy with previous injuries has two risk factors, but an even temper is not a risk factor for injuries. A girl
wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd wd
who reacts negatively to new situations but has no previous serious illnesses has only one risk factor.
