1Introduction This study guide provides 50 pediatric nursing questions designed to prepare candidates for the NCLEX-RN, focusing on clinical judgment and pediatric care. The questions include multiple-choice, select-all-that-apply (SATA), fill-in-the-blank, hotspot, drag-and- drop, and Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) case studies. Each question includes the correct answer and a rationale to reinforce learning.2Questions 1.A nurse is assessing a 3-year-old during a well-child visit. Which behavior is developmentally appropriate?A.Engages in cooperative play B.Uses parallel play C.Follows multi-step instructions D.Reads simple words

2.Which milestone should a nurse expect in a 6-month-old infant?A.Walking independently B.Sitting without support C.Speaking single words D.Using a pincer grasp

Answer: B

Rationale: By 6 months, infants can sit without support. Walking occurs around

12 months, words at 12–18 months, and pincer grasp at 9–12 months.

3.A nurse is educating parents of a 4-year-old about expected behaviors.Which should be included? (Select all that apply.) A.Engages in magical thinking B.Shares toys willingly C.Asks “why” frequently D.Ties shoelaces independently E.Uses sentences of 4–5 words
