MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A nurse is encouraging members of the community to advocate for the prevention of
premature deaths in children under the age of 5 at the international level. Which of the
following interventions would most likely be discussed by the nurse?
a. Using mosquito netting in sleeping areas
b. Participating in international vaccination programs
c. Implementing accident prevention programs
d. Providing nutritional supplements
ANS: D
Protein–energy malnutrition can be severely harmful to the mental and physical development
of individuals, especially young children under the age of 5. Worldwide, one out of two
deaths among children younger than 5 years old stems from protein–energy malnutrition. The
other choices, while all beneficial, would not have as great an impact.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: pp. 651, 652
2. A nurse is working at a clinic in a third world country and suspects a child has severe acute
malnutrition (SAM). Which of the following assessment findings would be expected?
a. Distended abdomen
b. Bulging eyes
c. Large tears when crying
d. Lethargy
NURSINGTB.COM
ANS: A
Severe wasting is characterized by sunken eyes, visible ribs, and protruding shoulder blades.
Children with severe wasting usually have a distended abdomen and general overall
appearance in some way similar to an older adult. In general, these children are irritable,
anxious, and cry easily; yet they will often have absence of tears while crying due to
lachrymal gland atrophy.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Apply (Application) REF: p. 652
3. A nurse is determining if children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) should receive
facility-based or community-based care. Which of the following children should receive care
in the community?
a. 3-year-old male who has a history of dehydration
b. 9-month-old male with a poor appetite whose family has adequate resources to
obtain the recommended treatment
c. 4-year-old female who has sensitivity to milk products
d. 6-month-old female who has a good appetite and no underlying medical conditions
ANS: D

When a child has a good appetite with no medical conditions (hypoglycemia, hypothermia,
dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and/or infections), Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods
(RUTF) under community-based care are appropriate. However, when a child does not have
an appetite and/or medical conditions are present, the child needs to receive facility-based care
(WHO/UNICEF, RUTF) are special milk-based foods which are soft, crushable, and tasty
nutrient- and energy-rich foods that can be consumed by children six months or older.

4. A nurse working on a post-partum unit of a large urban hospital has received a grant to begin
a “Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative” developed by WHO. Which of the following statements
would the nurse most likely make when explaining the major premises of the initiative to the
unit manager?
a. “This program is meant to encourage sibling visits in the early postpartum period,
so the adjustment to a new baby is a smooth process.”
b. “A major goal of this program is to ensure that all infant/pediatric units have
implemented basic safety initiatives.”
c. “Improving nutrition by promoting breastfeeding of newborns through four months
of age is what this program is all about.”
d. “The purpose of this program is to make sure that all health care providers who
care for newborns and children up to the age of 18 really understand basic
principles of growth and development.”
ANS: C
The purpose of the initiative is to improve newborn nutrition by promoting breastfeeding of
newborns through age 4 months.

5. Which of the following projects would most likely be administered by International
Micronutrient Malnutrition Prevention and Control (IMMPaCT) Program?
a. Researching best methods to preserve the freshness of foods
b. Monitoring and evaluating intervention systems concerning micronutrients
c. Comparing the effectiveness of vitamin pills versus fresh fruit and vegetables
d. Analyzing the relationship between BMI and cardiovascular disease
ANS: B
IMMPaCt provides its skills and resources toward working to eradicate vitamin and mineral
deficiencies around the globe. The IMMPaCT program’s activities include conducting
surveys; providing micronutrients to infants, young children, and women of childbearing age;
and monitoring and evaluating intervention systems.

teachers. Which of the following information would the nurse most likely include?
a. CA-MRSA is a common viral infection that responds well to antiviral meds.
b. CA-MRSA is a serious bacterial infection that does not spread easily.
c. CA-MRSA is a fungal infection common in school settings.
d. CA-MRSA is a potentially fatal skin infection that is difficult to treat.
