What This Document Is
This document contains practice multiple-choice questions for Chapter 35, “The Ill Child in the Hospital and Other Care Settings,” from McKinney’s *Maternal-Child Nursing*, 5th Edition. It’s designed to help students enrolled in the Culturally Competent Care Of The Child Bearing Family (NS 216) course at Monroe College assess their understanding of key concepts related to pediatric hospitalization and care.
Why This Document Matters
This practice exam is valuable for students preparing for assessments on the unique challenges and considerations involved in caring for ill children and their families in various healthcare settings.

It’s particularly helpful for students who benefit from applying concepts through question-and-answer practice.
