teaching?
a. "I lock my medications in the medicine cabinet."
b. "I keep my child's crib mattress at the highest level."
c. "I turn pot handles to the side of my stove while cooking."
d. "I will give my child syrup of ipecac if she swallows something
poisonous." - ANSWER-A

poisons prevents access. Toddlers have
improved gross and fine motor skills that allow for further
exploration of the environment and
possible access to hazardous substances.
A nurse is performing a physical assessment on a 6-month-old
infant. Which of the
following reflexes should the nurse expect to find?
a. Stepping
b. Babinski

2 | P a g e
the toes to fan and the big toe to dorsiflex, should be present

of neonatal reflexes might indicate neurological deficits.

Hib immunization series consists of 3 to 4 doses, depending
on the immunization used, and at a
minimum is administered at the ages of 2 months, 4 months,
and 12 to 15 months. The IPV
immunization series consists of 4 doses and is administered

to 18 months, and 4 to 6 years.

A nurse is caring for an 18-year-old adolescent who is up-to-date
on immunizations and is
planning to attend college. The nurse should inform the client that
he should receive which of the
following immunizations prior to moving into a campus dormitory?
a. Pneumococcal polysaccharide
b. Meningococcal polysaccharide
c. Rotavirus
d. Herpes zoster - ANSWER-B
Rationale: The meningococcal polysaccharide immunization
is used to prevent infection by
certain groups of meningococcal bacteria. Meningococcal
infection can cause life-threatening
illnesses, such as meningococcal meningitis, which affects
the brain, and meningococcemia,
which affects the blood. Both of these conditions can be
fatal. College freshmen, particularly
those who live in dormitories, are at an increased risk for
meningococcal disease relative to other
persons their age. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention has issued a
recommendation that all incoming college students receive
the meningococcal immunization.
