Another person tells the practical nurse (PN) that her 7-year-old child frequently wets the bed at night. Which information should the PN provide?

"Require the child to change the bed linens during the night."

"This really is nothing to worry about at this time."

"Try withholding ﬂuids after supper and before bedtime."

"You should see a urologist to rule out any abnormalities."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

The PN should provide the information that it may be helpful to **try withholding ﬂuids after supper and before bedtime**. Bedwetting is common and often runs in families. It can be upsetting, but most children and young people will grow out of it³. It’s not unusual for kids to wet the bed at night. Known formally as pediatric enuresis, uncontrolled nighttime urination aﬀects as many as 5% to 10% of 7-year-olds in the United States.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Scoliosis screening is typically performed on early adolescent girls, as this is the age group that is most commonly aﬀected by the condition. Early detection and intervention can help prevent the progression of scoliosis and improve outcomes.

A. Hyperactive gastric sounds. B. Irregular palpable pulse. C. Crying without tears. D. Underweight for age.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

This finding may indicate a potential cardiac issue that needs immediate medical atention. Projectile vomiting and excessive hunger in a young infant may be signs of pyloric stenosis, a condition in which the muscle between the stomach and small intestine thickens, making it difficult for food to pass through.

Hyperactive gastric sounds may be present with vomiting, but it is not an immediate concern.

Crying without tears may be a sign of dehydration, but it is not an immediate concern.

Underweight for age is a concern but it is not a finding that requires immediate intervention.
