7.
Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to,
according to the
childs
age?
a.
Physical health of the child
b.
Developmental level of the child
c.
Educational level of the child
d.
Number of responsible adults in the home
ANS: B
The
childs developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to
occur. The
childs
physical health may facilitate the childs recovery from an injury but does not
impact
the type of injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it
is not
as
important as the childs developmental level in determining the type of injury.
The
number
of responsible adults in the home may affect the number of unintentional
injuries,
but the
type of injury is related to the childs developmental stage.

8.
Which is now referred to as the new morbidity?
a.
Limitations in the major activities of daily living
b.
Unintentional injuries that cause chronic health problems
c.
Discoveries of new therapies to treat health problems
d.
Behavioral, social, and educational problems that alter health
ANS: D
The new
morbidity reflects the behavioral, social, and educational problems that
interfere
with
the childs social and academic development. It is currently estimated that the
incidence
of these issues is from 5% to 30%. Limitations in major activities of daily
living
and unintentional injuries that result in chronic health problems are included
in
morbidity
data. Discovery of new therapies would be reflected in changes in morbidity
data
over time.

9. A
nurse on a pediatric unit is practicing family-centered care. Which is most
descriptive
of the care the nurse is delivering?
a.
Taking over total care of the child to reduce stress on the family
b.
Encouraging family dependence on health care systems
c.
Recognizing that the family is the constant in a childs life
d.
Excluding families from the decision-making process
ANS: C
The three
key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support.
Family-centered
care recognizes the family as the constant in the childs life. Taking over
total
care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress instead
of
reducing
stress. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health
care
system. The family is expected to be part of the decision-making process.

10. The
nurse is preparing an in-service education to staff about atraumatic care for
pediatric
patients. Which intervention should the nurse include?
a. Prepare
the child for separation from parents during hospitalization by reviewing a
video.
b.
Prepare the child before any unfamiliar treatment or procedure by demonstrating
on a
stuffed
animal.
c. Help
the child accept the loss of control associated with hospitalization.
d. Help
the child accept pain that is connected with a treatment or procedure.
ANS: B
Preparing
the child for any unfamiliar treatments, controlling pain, allowing privacy,
providing
play activities for expression of fear and aggression, providing choices, and
respecting
cultural differences are components of atraumatic care. In the provision of
atraumatic
care, the separation of child from parents during hospitalization is minimized.
The
nurse should promote a sense of control for the child. Preventing and
minimizing
bodily
injury and pain are major components of atraumatic care.

11.
Which is most suggestive that a nurse has a nontherapeutic relationship with a
patient
and
family?
a.
Staff is concerned about the nurses actions with the patient and family.
b.
Staff assignments allow the nurse to care for same patient and family over an
extended
time.
c.
Nurse is able to withdraw emotionally when emotional overload occurs but still
remains
committed.
d.
Nurse uses teaching skills to instruct patient and family rather than doing
everything
for
them.
ANS: A
An
important clue to a nontherapeutic staff-patient relationship is concern of
other staff
members.
Allowing the nurse to care for the same patient over time would be therapeutic
for the
patient and family. Nurses who are able to somewhat withdraw emotionally can
protect
themselves while providing therapeutic care. Nurses using teaching skills to
instruct
patient and family will assist in transitioning the child and family to
self-care.

a. A
simple developmental process
b.

c.
Based on deliberate and irrational thought
d.

ANS: B
Clinical
reasoning is a complex, developmental process based on rational and deliberate
thought.
Clinical reasoning is not a developmental process. Clinical reasoning is based
on
rational
and deliberate thought. Clinical reasoning is not a guessing process.
