Multiple Choice Questions Sample Content Preview:
The child is on the medical unit getting ready to go home.  The nurse is now reviewing the mother's note on treating hypoglycemia for errors.  What corrections should the nurse make to the mom's notes?
If blood sugar below 70, administer 15 grams of carbohydrate.
Wait 15 minutes and retest
If still less than 70 repeat the 15 grams of carbohydrate
Recheck blood glucose in 15 minutes
When blood glucose is at 80 give a snack if the next meal is over 30 minutes away
When treating hypoglycemia, the 15-15 rule should be followed. The rule is only recommended when the blood sugar is below 70 but more than 55mg/dl. The mother should give 15grams of carbohydrate, wait for 15 minutes and test again. If the sugar levels are still low (within this range), the mother should repeat the process until it hits the targeted range (above 70mg/dl). After this, the mother should give the child a nutritious meal or snack to ensure the sugar levels do not fall low again. In severe cases such as when the sugars are below 55mg/dl, the mother should rush the child to hospital where injectable glucagon will be administered. Therefore, the mother’s notes are correct and the nurse should only add more necessary details and reassurance.
The seven-year-old is in the provider's office for a follow up visit two months later.  Mom is a single mom who works as a nurse full time at a local hospital.  The seven year old is doing well.  Mom looks tired and wishes she could  get away a little for time with family and friends.  What part of the resiliency wheel is Mom missing?
Clear and consistent boundaries
Prosocial bonding
High expectations
Life skills
The mother’s sign of fatigue is an indication that she is being overwhelmed by the new activities/adjustments surrounding their daily life. She needs to establish a balance on how to tackle these issues and having her normal daily routine back. She is missing the clear and consistent boundaries in her daily activities.
In Two hours the nurse notes the O2 sat monitor is beeping and checks on the infant. Her assessment reveals:
T 101 P180 and RR 70 with substernal and intercostal retractions.  The infant is extremely lethargic and the lung sounds on both sides are diminished in the bases.  The nurses next action is:
Notify the provider to request an increase O2 delivery
Notify respiratory therapy to initiate albuterol via nebulizer
Arrange for a transfer to PICU
Activate rapid response team
Respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonias are the most common reasons infants are admitted to the PICU, oxygen therapy is the first line action in management therefore the first course of action would be to notify the provider to request an increase in O2 delivery.
