Which dietary information should the nurse include in the teaching plan for a school-age child with chronic renal failure?
- A. High in sodium
- B. Low in Vitamin D
- C. Low in phosphorus
- D. Supplementation of vitamins C, E, K
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A low-phosphorus diet is recommended for children with chronic renal failure to prevent hyperphosphatemia, which can lead to bone disease and other complications. Phosphorus is found in many processed foods and should be limited. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because high sodium intake can lead to fluid retention and hypertension, while Vitamin D supplementation and vitamins C, E, K are not specifically indicated for dietary recommendations in chronic renal failure.
Why is it difficult to assess a child's dietary intake?
- A. No systematic assessment tool has been developed
- B. Biochemical analysis for assessing nutrition is expensive
- C. Families usually do not understand much about nutrition
- D. Recall of food consumption is frequently unreliable
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Recall of food intake, especially amounts eaten, is often unreliable. While systematic tools like the 24-hour recall and dietary history questionnaires exist, recall can still be challenging in accurately assessing a child's dietary intake. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because systematic assessment tools do exist, biochemical analysis is not the primary method for dietary assessment, and families' understanding of nutrition may vary but is not the main reason for the difficulty in assessing a child's dietary intake.
When assessing an infant with intussusception, what type of stool would the nurse expect to find?
- A. Soft, seedy stool
- B. Currant-jelly stool
- C. Ribbon-like stool
- D. Soft and pasty stool
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Currant-jelly stool. This type of stool, which is red and mucous-like, is a classic sign of intussusception in infants. Choice A (Soft, seedy stool) is incorrect as it does not specifically describe the characteristic stool associated with intussusception. Choice C (Ribbon-like stool) is incorrect; ribbon-like stool may be seen in conditions like colon cancer, not intussusception. Choice D (Soft and pasty stool) is also incorrect as it does not match the typical stool finding in intussusception.
