OK, I have done many years of pediatric home health, but have been working in an office that last few years. I am now going back into clinical nursing and am taking a written compenency test. Some of the questions are really throwing me off. I can narrow it down to 2 answers, but from there I am stuck.
They are:
Q. When performing a rapid assessment of a young child, you should inspect, then:
a. Percuss
b. palpate
c. auscultate
Q. What's your reason for the answer above?
a. Your touch may calm the child
b. The child may cry as the assessment proceeds, making auscultation difficult
c. Your touch may frighten the child
d. Your hands or stethoscope may feel cold, making the child recoil
Q. Gurgles indicate
a. constricted airways
b. fluid in the larger upper airways
c. thick secretions partially obstruction the upper airways
d. Fluid in the alveoli
Q. A yellow bruise is approximately
a. 2 days old
b. 5-7 days old
c. 7-10 days old
d. 10-14 days old
Q. A nutritional consult for a child with muscular dystrophy would be appropriate because children with MD are at risk for
a. malabsorption
b. obesity
c. diarrhea
d. food allergies

I think the correct answers are: c,b,b,b,a

What do you think??? Any input appreciated.
