sseous drug administration is typically used when a child is:
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
ANSWER
Critically ill and under age 3 In an emergency, intraosseous drug administration is typically used when
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
a child is critically ill and under age 3. IO access provides a means of administering medications, glucos
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
e, and fluids, as well as (potentially) a means of obtaining blood samples. Such a situation would includ
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
e any resuscitation; cardiopulmonary arrest; shock, regardless of etiology; life-
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
threatening status epilepticus; or lack of venous access resulting from burns, edema, or obesity.

QUESTION 2 ga
When administering an I.M. injection to an infant, the nurse in charge should use which
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
site?
ANSWER
Vastus lateralis The recommended injection site for an infant is the vastus lateralis or rectus femoris m
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
uscles. Skeletal muscle can accommodate larger volumes of medication than subcutaneous tissue, and a
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
bsorption is faster because muscle tissue is highly vascular. Muscle has fewer pain-
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
sensing nerves than subcutaneous tissue and is less sensitive to irritating and viscous medications, so p
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
ain is lessened.

QUESTION 3 ga
Nurse Charlotte suspects that a child, age 4, is being neglected physically. To best assess
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
the child's nutritional status, the nurse should ask the parents which question?
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
ANSWER
, "What did your child eat for breakfast?" The nurse should obtain objective information about the child'
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
s nutritional intake, such as by asking about what the child ate for a specific meal. In order to assess th
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
e adequacy of a child's nutritional intake, dietitians require detailed information about all food and drin
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
k consumed. As all children admitted to the hospital are at risk of nutritional deficit, a dietary record sh
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
ould be started on all in-
ga ga ga ga ga
patients, although this may subsequently be discontinued when deemed appropriate.

QUESTION 4 ga
During a well- ga ga
baby visit, Liza asks the nurse when she should start giving her infant solid foods. The n
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga

ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga

it's creamy, yummy, and loaded with healthy fats.
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
QUESTION 6 ga
Egg whites should not be given until age 9 months because
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
ANSWER
they may trigger a food allergy. Potentially allergenic foods include cow's milk products, eggs, fish, shell
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
fish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame. Introduce potentially allergenic foods when other foods
ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga
