Answer 2

Correct Answers:

Perform gastric lavage with activated charcoal.

Rationale :

♦ Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) overdose can lead to metabolic acidosis and organ toxicity.

♦ Activated charcoal helps bind the drug and limits absorption in the GI tract.

♦ Gastric lavage is effective if done within 1 hour of ingestion and followed by charcoal.

♦ Ipecac syrup is no longer recommended due to potential aspiration and prolonged action.

♦ Deferoxamine treats iron toxicity, and N-acetylcysteine is used for acetaminophen overdose.

Correct Answers:

Tugging on the affected ear lobe

Rationale :

🟢 Otitis media often presents with ear pain, and young children show this by tugging or pulling at the ear.

🟢 It is associated with fever, irritability, and sometimes hearing loss.

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

Place the child in an upright position.

Rationale :

⚪ Epiglottitis is a medical emergency causing airway obstruction.

⚪ Upright positioning promotes easier breathing and helps prevent complete obstruction.

⚪ Do not attempt to visualize the throat or take cultures, as it can trigger laryngospasm.

⚪ Diagnostic imaging is only done if the airway is stable and in controlled conditions.

⚪ Immediate preparations should be made for airway management and intubation.

Answer 7

Correct Answers:

Provide a latex-free environment.

Rationale :

🔵 Children with spina bifida have a high risk of latex allergy due to frequent exposure to latex-containing equipment.

🔵 Use non-latex gloves, catheters, and other materials to prevent reactions.

🔵 Supine positioning can put pressure on the myelomeningocele sac, so prone is preferred preoperatively.

🔵 Contact precautions are not required unless there’s infection risk.

🔵 Education and care must focus on infection prevention and protecting the sac.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

"l will give my son the enzymes between meals."

Rationale :

🔶 Pancreatic enzymes should be administered with meals and snacks, not between meals.

🔶 These enzymes assist in the digestion and absorption of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

🔶 They can be mixed with soft acidic foods like applesauce, but not hot foods or milk.

🔶 Adverse effects are rare but may include GI upset or perianal irritation.

🔶 Proper timing ensures nutrient absorption and weight maintenance in cystic fibrosis.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

Notify the provider

Rationale :

🟣 Expected urine output for a child is 1–2 mL/kg/hr.

🟣 This child weighs 33 kg, and should have a minimum of 264 mL in 8 hours (1 mL/kg/hr × 33 kg × 8 hr).

🟣 Only 160 mL was produced, indicating oliguria, which may suggest dehydration or renal impairment.

🟣 Immediate notification is necessary for potential intervention.

🟣 Monitoring alone without escalation could delay needed treatment.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

Place the infant in an infant seat for 2 hr following the procedure.

Rationale :

⚫ The lumbar puncture position in infants is critical for accurate collection and safety.

⚫ The child is placed side-lying or sitting, with back arched, chin to chest, and knees to abdomen.

⚫ Topical anesthetics like EMLA cream require at least 30–60 minutes for effectiveness.

⚫ Infants are not kept NPO for hours before LP; sedation is not required in most cases.

⚫ Proper positioning widens the vertebral spaces for needle insertion.
