Sample questions from ATI RN Pediatrics Proctored 26

This material has 90 questions with answers and rationales. Here are the first 5.

1. 1.Which gross motor skill is expected for most 6-month-old infants?

   • A.Sits briefly without support
   • B.Walks up stairs holding a rail
   • C.Hops on one foot
   • D.Rides a tricycle

   Rationale: Many 6-month-old infants can sit briefly when placed and may use their hands for support. Stair climbing, hopping, and tricycle riding require more mature balance and coordination. Developmental milestones describe typical ranges rather than strict deadlines.

2. 2.During a home visit, a parent asks how to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Which response is appropriate?

   • A.Let the infant sleep in the adult bed for easier monitoring.
   • B.Use a positioner to keep the infant on the side.
   • C.Place the infant supine for every sleep.
   • D.Add a soft blanket to prevent the infant from becoming cold.

   Rationale: Placing an infant on the back for every sleep is recommended to reduce the risk of sleep-related death. Positioners, soft bedding, and bed-sharing increase risk rather than improve safety. Use a firm, flat, separate sleep surface without loose objects.

3. 3.The parent of a 2-year-old asks which activities are appropriate ways to support development at home. Select all that apply.

   • A.Expect the child to share every toy without protest.
   • B.Provide large crayons and paper for scribbling.
   • C.Offer simple choices such as choosing between two shirts.
   • D.Read picture books together and name familiar objects.
   • E.Use brief, consistent limits when the child tests boundaries.

   Rationale: Simple choices support autonomy, and shared reading promotes language development. Scribbling is an appropriate fine-motor activity, while brief consistent limits provide predictable guidance. Consistent sharing is not an expected skill at this age; parallel play and possessiveness are common.

4. 4.Which behavior is most characteristic of parallel play in a toddler?

   • A.Taking turns in a rule-based board game
   • B.Cooperating to build one structure together
   • C.Planning a shared game with assigned roles
   • D.Playing beside another child with similar toys but little interaction

   Answer and rationale are in the full material.

5. 5.A preschooler says, "I got sick because I was mad at my brother." Which response by the nurse best addresses the child's understanding?

   • A."You are old enough to know that illness is unrelated to feelings."
   • B."Being angry does not cause an illness; germs can make people sick."
   • C."You should apologize so you will get better sooner."
   • D."Your brother may have made you sick by upsetting you."
