When should the dressing change for a post-op pediatric patient that is expected to be very painful and frightening be performed?
- A. In the patient's room
- B. In the treatment room
- C. After discharge when the patient is at home
- D. In the playroom
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'In the treatment room.' Performing painful procedures in the treatment room helps the child associate their own room with safety and comfort, not pain. Choice A is incorrect because performing the dressing change in the patient's room may create a negative association with their safe space. Choice C is incorrect as it is important to ensure proper wound care and pain management before discharge. Choice D is incorrect as the playroom may not be equipped for a sterile dressing change.

- A. Assist in the passage of formula through the esophagus
- B. Identify the number of reflux episodes that are occurring
- C. Determine the time it takes for the stomach to empty its contents
- D. Monitor the pH within the stomach
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. The esophageal pH probe is used to identify the frequency and severity of reflux episodes by measuring the pH in the esophagus. Choice A is incorrect because the probe does not assist in the passage of formula through the esophagus. Choice C is incorrect as determining the time it takes for the stomach to empty its contents would require a different procedure. Choice D is incorrect as the esophageal pH probe monitors the pH in the esophagus, not the stomach.
