(PNP)?
a. A toddler recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes
b. An infant in need of well baby immunizations
c. A 5-year-old requiring artifical ventilation
d. An newborn demonstrating signs of drug addiction
ANS: B
The focus of primary care pediatric nurse practitioners care includes well-child care and the

conditions. In contrast, acute care PNPs provide care for acutely, critically, and chronically ill
children who are unstable, experiencing life-threatening illness, are medically fragile and/or
technologically dependent.
4. When providing well child care for an infant in the first year of life, the primary care pediatric
nurse practitioner demonstrates an understanding of current guidelines when taking what
action?

b. Following guidelines established by the Bright Futures publication.
c. Scheduling well-baby visits to coincide with key developmental milestones.
d. Seeing the infant at ages 2, 4, 6, and 12 months when immunizations are due.
ANS: C
In the most recent AAP Recommendations for Preventive Pediatric Health Care, there is a
greater emphasis on behavioral and developmental issues and a recommendation that well
child care be based on child and family development rather than the periodicity of
immunization schedules.
