Nursing Elites

1. What is the narrowing of the preputial opening of the foreskin called?

• A. Chordee
• B. Phimosis
• C. Epispadias
• D. Hypospadias

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Phimosis is the condition where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the glans penis due to a narrowing of the preputial opening. Chordee, epispadias, and hypospadias are different conditions involving the penis's structure.

2. The nurse is caring for a child with Neuroblastoma. Where is the tumor most commonly located?

• A. Bone
• B. Kidneys
• C. Cortex
• D. Abdomen

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Neuroblastoma is a cancer that commonly originates in the adrenal glands located in the abdomen. It can also occur in nerve tissues along the spine, but it is most frequently found in the abdominal region. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as Neuroblastoma typically arises from neural crest cells in the adrenal glands or sympathetic ganglia, not in the bones, kidneys, or cortex.

3. What findings would the nurse consider normal in assessing the anterior fontanel of a neonate?

• A. Closed anterior fontanel
• B. Sunken anterior fontanel
• C. Bulging anterior fontanel
• D. Pulsating anterior fontanel

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pulsating anterior fontanel. The fontanel should feel flat, firm, and well demarcated. Pulsations are frequently visible at the anterior fontanel, which is a normal finding in a neonate. A closed anterior fontanel, as mentioned, is a potential sign of a major abnormality. A sunken or bulging fontanel (when the infant is quiet) may be indicative of distress or a major abnormality. Therefore, options A, B, and C are considered abnormal findings when assessing the anterior fontanel of a neonate.

4. The child is admitted to the hospital unit newly diagnosed with retinoblastoma. Which clinical manifestation does the nurse anticipate upon assessment?

• A. A white reflex
• B. Blue-tinged sclerae
• C. A red reflex
• D. Yellow-tinged sclerae

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: A white reflex. The 'white reflex' or leukocoria is a common sign of retinoblastoma. It occurs when the light reflects off the tumor in the eye, giving the pupil a white appearance instead of the normal red reflex. Blue-tinged sclerae (choice B) and yellow-tinged sclerae (choice D) are not typical manifestations of retinoblastoma. A red reflex (choice C) is the normal reflection seen in the eye when light is shone on it and is not associated with retinoblastoma.

5. The nurse is reviewing the Healthy People 2020 leading health indicators for a child health promotion program. Which are included in the leading health indicators? (Select all that apply.)

• A. Decrease tobacco use
• B. Improve immunization rates
• C. All are applicable
• D. Increase access to health care

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Healthy People 2020 focuses on decreasing tobacco use, improving immunization rates, and increasing access to healthcare among its leading health indicators.
