ATI RN Custom Exams Set 4

Question 1 of 5

During a physical assessment of a newborn, which of the following findings should the nurse prioritize reporting?

A. Head circumference of 40 cm B. Chest circumference of 32 cm C. Acrocyanosis and edema of the scalp D. Heart rate of 160 bpm and respirations of 40/min

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. A head circumference of 40 cm is abnormally large for a newborn and could indicate conditions like hydrocephalus or other abnormalities, making it a crucial finding to report.

Choices B, C, and D are within normal parameters for a newborn and do not pose immediate concerns. Chest circumference of 32 cm is a normal finding. Acrocyanosis and edema of the scalp are common in newborns due to physiological adaptations. A heart rate of 160 bpm and respirations of 40/min may be within the normal range for a newborn.

Question 2 of 5

Which situation(s) are classified as natural disasters?

A. Blizzards B. Blizzards, Volcanic eruptions C. Volcanic eruptions D. Structural collapse

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 3 of 5

The nurse is caring for clients on a medical floor. Which client will the nurse assess first?

A. The client with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who is constipated B. The client on bed rest who ambulated to the bathroom C. The client with essential hypertension who has epistaxis and a headache D. The client with arterial occlusive disease who has a decreased pedal pulse

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because epistaxis and headache in a client with hypertension are signs of a hypertensive crisis that necessitate immediate intervention.
Choice A is incorrect as constipation in a client with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, while important, does not indicate an immediate crisis.
Choice B is incorrect as a client on bed rest ambulating to the bathroom is a positive sign.
Choice D is incorrect because a decreased pedal pulse in arterial occlusive disease should be addressed promptly, but it does not indicate an acute emergency like a hypertensive crisis.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is teaching a community class to people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Which explanation would explain the development of Type 2 diabetes?

A. The islet cells in the pancreas stop producing insulin B. The client eats too many foods that are high in sugar C. The pituitary gland does not produce vasopressin D. The cells become resistant to the circulating insulin

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. In Type 2 diabetes, the primary issue is insulin resistance, where cells do not respond effectively to insulin.
Choice A is incorrect because in Type 1 diabetes, the islet cells in the pancreas stop producing insulin.
Choice B is not directly related to the development of Type 2 diabetes but rather to its management.
Choice C is incorrect as it refers to a dysfunction in vasopressin production, which is not related to Type 2 diabetes.

Question 5 of 5

Which lipoprotein carries cholesterol from tissues to the liver for excretion?

A. Very low-density lipoprotein B. Intermediate-density lipoprotein C. Low-density lipoprotein D. High-density lipoprotein

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, High-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL is known as 'good' cholesterol because it helps transport excess cholesterol from tissues back to the liver for removal from the body. Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) (choice
A) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (choice
B) are involved in transporting triglycerides. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (choice
C) is known as 'bad' cholesterol as it can deposit cholesterol in the walls of arteries.
