Nursing Elites

1. The nurse is teaching parents about high-fiber foods that can prevent constipation. What foods should the nurse include in the teaching?

• A. Oranges
• B. All are correct
• C. Lima beans
• D. Baked beans

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: All are correct. High-fiber foods like oranges, lima beans, baked beans, and raisin bran cereal are effective in preventing constipation. Oranges are a good source of fiber, lima beans and baked beans are high in fiber content, and raisin bran cereal is also rich in fiber. Bananas, which are not listed but could be considered by some as a high-fiber food, are actually low in fiber and may not be as effective in preventing constipation. Therefore, the nurse should include all the options provided in the teaching to help prevent constipation effectively.

2. Which clinical manifestations should the nurse expect in a child diagnosed with nephroblastoma?

• A. Atrial fibrillation
• B. Endocarditis
• C. Hyperlipidemia
• D. Hypertension

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypertension. Nephroblastoma, also known as Wilms' tumor, often causes hypertension due to its impact on the kidney, which plays a role in regulating blood pressure. Atrial fibrillation (choice A) and endocarditis (choice B) are not typically associated with nephroblastoma. Hyperlipidemia (choice C) is also not a common clinical manifestation of nephroblastoma.

3. When assessing a child with chronic renal failure, which clinical manifestations would the nurse expect to find?

• A. Uremic frost
• B. Hypotension
• C. Massive hematuria
• D. Severe metabolic acidosis

Correct answer: A

Rationale: When assessing a child with chronic renal failure, the nurse would expect to find uremic frost as a clinical manifestation. Uremic frost, a white powdery deposit of urea on the skin, occurs in severe cases of chronic renal failure due to the accumulation of urea and other waste products in the blood. Hypotension and massive hematuria are less common in chronic renal failure, while severe metabolic acidosis is typically mild to moderate and not a prominent clinical manifestation.

4. Which describe the feelings and behaviors of early preschool children related to divorce? (Select all that apply.)

• A. Regressive behavior
• B. Fear of abandonment
• C. Blame themselves for the divorce
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Preschool children may exhibit regressive behavior, fear abandonment, and blame themselves for their parents' divorce due to their limited understanding of the situation.

5. An infant weighed 8 lb at birth and was 18 inches in length. What weight and length should the infant be at 5 months of age?

• A. 12 lb, 20 inches
• B. 14 lb, 21.5 inches
• C. 16 lb, 23 inches
• D. 18 lb, 24.5 inches

Correct answer: C

Rationale: By 5 months, an infant's weight should typically double from birth, and length should increase by approximately 50%.
