During the nurse's initial assessment of a school-age child, the child reports a pain level of 6 out of 10. The child is lying quietly in bed watching television. What action should the nurse take?
- A. Reassess the child in 15 minutes to see if the pain rating has changed
- B. Administer the prescribed analgesic
- C. Do nothing since the child appears to be resting
- D. Ask the child's parents if they think the child is hurting
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pain management should be based on the child's report of pain, regardless of their activity level. Administering the prescribed analgesic is the appropriate action. Reassessing the child in 15 minutes without providing immediate pain relief may not be in the child's best interest. Doing nothing since the child appears to be resting may lead to inadequate pain management. Asking the child's parents if they think the child is hurting does not replace the need for direct assessment and intervention by the nurse.

Which nursing action is developmentally appropriate when caring for a hospitalized school-age child?
- A. Providing brochures regarding sexuality
- B. Giving clear instructions about details of treatment
- C. Offering medical equipment to play with prior to a procedure
- D. Using toys for distraction during a painful procedure
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Offering medical equipment to play with prior to a procedure is developmentally appropriate when caring for a hospitalized school-age child. Allowing the child to familiarize themselves with the equipment helps reduce fear and anxiety about the upcoming procedure. Choices A, B, and D are not as appropriate for a school-age child. Providing brochures regarding sexuality is not developmentally appropriate for this age group. Giving clear instructions about treatment details may overwhelm a child of this age. Using toys for distraction during a painful procedure is more suitable for younger children.
What is the first sign of puberty in girls?
- A. Acne
- B. Hair growth in the pubic area and underarms
- C. Thelarche
- D. Menarche
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, Thelarche. Thelarche refers to the onset of breast development, which is typically the first sign of puberty in girls. This occurs before menarche (the first menstrual period). Choices A and B, acne and hair growth in the pubic area and underarms, are not the first signs of puberty in girls. While acne can be a common occurrence during puberty, it usually appears after other physical changes. Hair growth in the pubic area and underarms also occurs later in the puberty process.
