Answer to Question 1

D
A child whose height or weight is at or below the tenth percentile may be normal if the child is demonstrating regular growth. The nurse should first compare the results with the previous measurements to determine if this is consistent for this child.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Children with viral pneumonia are not treated with antibiotics, as they are not efficacious.
B Incorrect. Children with adenoviral pneumonia are not treated with antibiotics, as they are not efficacious.
C Correct. Children with bacterial pneumonia are treated with antibiotics.
D Incorrect. Children with aspiration pneumonia are not treated with antibiotics, as they are not efficacious. In this instance, the appropriate treatment is mechanical, i.e., immediate suctioning to remove the aspirated debris and the administration of 100 oxygen.
