PN ATI Capstone Proctored Comprehensive Assessment Form A Questions
Question 1 of 5
While assessing four clients, which client data should be reported to the provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An absolute neutrophil count of 75/mm³ is critically low and places the client at high risk for infection, necessitating immediate intervention. Neutropenia increases susceptibility to infections, making it essential to report this finding promptly. The other options, such as pain level in pleurisy, drainage amount from a drain, and heart rate postoperatively, are important but do not indicate an immediate life-threatening condition that requires urgent provider notification.
Question 2 of 5
A client is receiving IV moderate sedation with midazolam and has a respiratory rate of 9/min. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer flumazenil. Flumazenil is the reversal agent for midazolam, a benzodiazepine, and should be administered to counteract respiratory depression. Placing the client in a prone position (choice
A) could further compromise their breathing. Implementing positive pressure ventilation (choice
B) is not indicated as the first step when dealing with respiratory depression due to sedation. Performing nasopharyngeal suctioning (choice
C) is not appropriate in this situation where the client is experiencing respiratory depression due to medication sedation.
Question 3 of 5
A healthcare professional is teaching a client about reducing the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Which factor increases the risk of UTI?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using perfumed toilet paper can irritate the urinary tract and increase the risk of UTI, so it should be avoided. Wearing underwear with a cotton crotch (
Choice
A) is a preventive measure as cotton allows for better air circulation and reduces moisture, lowering the risk of UTIs. Wiping from front to back (
Choice
B) helps prevent the introduction of bacteria from the anal region to the urinary tract. Urinating after intercourse (
Choice
D) can help flush out bacteria introduced during sexual activity, thereby reducing the risk of UTIs.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a 7-month-old infant being treated for severe dehydration. Which finding indicates treatment has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A flat anterior fontanel indicates improved hydration in infants, as dehydration typically causes sunken fontanels.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for four clients. Which client is the highest priority?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because numb fingers indicate neurovascular compromise, which can lead to serious complications if not addressed promptly. The priority in this situation is to assess and address any circulation issues affecting the extremity.
Choices A, C, and D are of concern but not as immediate as neurovascular compromise, which requires urgent attention to prevent further complications.
