Question

A child with thrombolytic (bleeding) precautions is participating in arts and crafts. The child cuts their hand while participating. Which of the following actions prioritizes the client's safety?

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

Apply pressure to the site if bleeding occurs

Rationale :

🩸Direct pressure is the immediate priority because it promotes hemostasis at the injured site.

🛡️A child on bleeding precautions has an increased risk of prolonged bleeding, making rapid bleeding control essential.

⏱️The nurse should first address the active safety threat before performing additional assessments or teaching.

🩹Firm pressure with a clean dressing should be maintained until the bleeding stops.

📌Core Message

Immediate direct pressure is the priority intervention for controlling external bleeding in a child on bleeding precautions.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

Nonspecific bone pain.

Rationale :

🦴Bone pain is one of the most common manifestations of primary bone cancer in children.

🌙The discomfort may initially be intermittent, nonspecific or more noticeable at night.

🚶As the tumor progresses, the child may develop localized swelling, limping or difficulty using the affected limb.

⚠️Persistent or unexplained bone discomfort requires further diagnostic evaluation.

📌Core Message

Persistent nonspecific bone pain is an important potential manifestation of bone cancer in children.

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

Waddling gait

Rationale :

🚶Duchenne muscular dystrophy causes progressive weakness of the proximal muscles, especially those surrounding the hips and pelvis.

🦆Weakness of the pelvic-girdle muscles produces the characteristic waddling or Trendelenburg gait.

🧒A school-age child may also demonstrate Gowers’ sign, difficulty climbing stairs and frequent falls.

📉The child’s motor abilities progressively decline because muscle fibers are gradually replaced by fat and connective tissue.

📌Core Message

A waddling gait is a classic finding in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy because of proximal muscle weakness.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

Frequent nosebleeds and petechiae

Rationale :

🧬Myelosuppression decreases the bone marrow’s production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

🩸A decreased platelet count causes thrombocytopenia, which increases the risk of abnormal bleeding.

🔴Petechiae are small pinpoint areas of bleeding beneath the skin that commonly occur with low platelet levels.

👃Frequent nosebleeds are another manifestation of impaired blood clotting caused by chemotherapy-related thrombocytopenia.

📌Core Message

Chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression can cause thrombocytopenia, producing petechiae and frequent nosebleeds.

Answer 5

Correct Answers:

2.5

Rationale :

💊The prescribed dose is 250 mg of amoxicillin.

🧴The available concentration contains 500 mg in 5 mL.

🧮The calculation is 250 mg ÷ 500 mg × 5 mL, which gives 2.5 mL.

✅The nurse should administer 2.5 mL PO every 12 hr as prescribed.

📌Core Message

A prescribed 250 mg dose from a 500 mg per 5 mL suspension requires 2.5 mL.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

Administer nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Rationale :

🦵Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease involves temporary disruption of blood flow to the femoral head, resulting in bone necrosis.

💊NSAIDs reduce inflammation and relieve pain within the affected hip joint.

🛑The plan of care may also include limiting high-impact activities to protect the femoral head.

💁‍♂️Crutches or another assistive device may be prescribed to reduce weight bearing on the affected extremity.

📌Core Message

NSAIDs help manage pain and inflammation associated with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.

Answer 7

Correct Answers:

"We will learn how to perform intermittent urinary catheterization."

Rationale :

🚻Children with spina bifida frequently develop a neurogenic bladder that interferes with normal bladder emptying.

🧴Intermittent catheterization helps empty the bladder regularly and prevents prolonged urinary retention.

🦠Effective bladder management reduces the risk of urinary tract infections and progressive kidney damage.

👪Parents commonly receive training to perform catheterization safely as part of the child’s long-term care.

📌Core Message

Regular intermittent urinary catheterization supports bladder emptying and protects kidney function in children with spina bifida.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

Remove nits with a fine-tooth comb or tweezers.

Rationale :

👉A fine-tooth nit comb mechanically removes lice and attached nits from the hair shafts.

🔎The hair should be inspected systematically, especially behind the ears and near the nape of the neck.

📅After treatment, caregivers should continue checking the hair and removing visible lice or nits every few days.

🧼Combining an approved pediculicide treatment with careful combing helps manage the infestation effectively.

📌Core Message

A fine-tooth comb or tweezers can remove nits attached firmly to the hair in pediculosis capitis.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

Provide a latex-free environment.

Rationale :

🎈Children with spina bifida have a significantly increased risk of developing latex sensitivity.

🏥Repeated exposure to latex-containing gloves, urinary catheters and surgical equipment can trigger serious allergic reactions.

🧤A latex-free environment should therefore be maintained during preoperative care and surgical closure.

🚨Preventing latex exposure protects the infant from reactions ranging from skin irritation to potentially severe respiratory compromise.

📌Core Message

Infants with spina bifida require a latex-free environment because of their high risk for latex allergy.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

100

Rationale :

🧮The prescribed 50 mL volume must infuse over 30 minutes.

⏳Thirty minutes converts to 0.5 hr for the pump-rate calculation.

💧The calculation is 50 mL ÷ 0.5 hr, which produces 100 mL/hr.

✅The nurse should program the IV infusion pump to deliver 100 mL/hr.

📌Core Message

A 50 mL infusion delivered over 30 minutes requires an IV pump rate of 100 mL/hr.
