VATI REVIEW
Children
1. A nurse is caring for a child admitted with an acute exacerbation of asthma. Discuss the nursing care
needs of this child. Suggested Nursing Care of Children Learning Activity: Asthma
----First and foremost, a patent airway should be established. Breath sounds should be assessed; the absence
of wheezing could indicate severe constriction. Position the child so that they may have maximum
ventilation and administer supplemental oxygen. Try to calm the child
2. A nurse is providing information on injury prevention to the parents of a toddler. What information
should be discussed? Suggested Nursing Care of Children Learning Activity: Developmental Stages

----Ways to protect a toddler from injury include the following topics: aspiration, bodily harm, burns,
drowning, falls MVA, poisoning, and suffocation. In order to prevent the toddler from choking we want to
avoid giving them small foods and toys, BALLOONS should be kept away from children. Sharp objects/
firearms should not be in reach of the child and locked up. The temperature of the bath water should be 120
degrees, smoke detectors should be checked frequently, electrical sockets covered, SUNSCREEN worn. Do
not leave toddlers unattended in the tub, be sure the toilet seat is down, close supervision when near pools
or other bodies of water, teach them how to SWIM!! Toddlers still need to be seated in the back of vehicles
in the proper car seat; be sure that the chest belt only allows two fingers to pass through. Exposure to lead
paint should be avoided, all cleaning supplies and chemicals should be stored in an area that cannot be
reached.
