Practice questions
1. A nurse is admitting a
child who has acute lym-
phocytic leukemia. Which
of the following laborato-
ry values should the nurse
expect?
A. Platelets 500,000 mm^3
B. RBCs 2.5 million/uL
C. WBCs 4,000/mm^3
D. Hct 60%
Correct answer B
An RBC count of 2.5 million/uL is below the ex-
pected reference range. A child who has acute
lymphocytic leukemia has a low RBC count.
2. A nurse is planning care
for a toddler who has acute
gastroenteritis and was re-
cently admitted. Which of
the following should the
nurse plan to provide for
the child?
A. Oral rehydration solu-
tion
B. Bananas or applesauce
C. Chicken or beef broth
D. Hypertonic IV solution
Correct answer A
The nurse should plan to provide an oral re-
hydration solution (ORS) to this child who has
acute gastroenteritis. ORS promotes the body's
reabsorption of water and sodium and is more
effective and less traumatic than the administra-
tion of IV fluids for the treatment of dehydration
due to diarrhea and emesis.
3. A nurse is caring for
a school-age child who
has glomerulonephritis.
The child has decreased
urinary output and a
blood pressure of 160/78
mmHg and is receiving
hydralazine. Which of the
following lunch choices
should the nurse recom-
mend?
A. 1 hot dog, 22 potato
chips, and 120 mL (4 oz) of
orange juice
B. 1 sandwich with lettuce,
Correct answer C
A child who has glomerulonephritis has mod-
erate sodium restriction, and further restriction
is given to foods that are high in potassium for
children who have decreased urinary output.
These restrictions are because the kidneys of
these children are not functioning appropriately.
This menu option consists of 571 g of potassium
and 268 g of sodium.

shampoo made of 2% ketoconazole or 1% se-
lenium sulfide for the treatment of tinea capitis.
For the shampoo to be effective, the parent
should leave it on the child's scalp for 5 to 10

5. A nurse is preparing to
obtain an antistreptolysin
O (ASO) titer from a child
who has acute glomeru-
lonephritis. The child's par-
ent asks the nurse to ex-
plain the purpose of the
test. Which of the follow-
ing responses should the
nurse provide?
Correct answer D
An ASO titer indicates the child had a recent
strep infection. When determining a definitive di-
agnosis for acute glomerulonephritis, this must
be documented because the condition is usually
the result of this type of infection.
