ATI PN Pediatrics nursing 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a group of clients. Which of the following findings should alert the nurse to the possibility of child maltreatment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Multiple shin bruises in an 18-month-old may suggest abuse, needing further assessment. Bedwetting, stranger anxiety, and separation protests are normal.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a 4-month-old infant who has intussusception. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bloody 'currant jelly' stools are classic in intussusception due to intestinal ischemia. Edema, polyuria, and ascites aren't typical.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in an urgent care clinic is contributing to the plan of care for a group of clients. The nurse should identify that which of the following clients will require parental consent prior to receiving treatment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A biopsy typically requires parental consent for a 14-year-old, unlike STI testing, contraception, or prenatal care, which minors can often access independently.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about home safety with the parent of a 2-month-old infant. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fixed, raised crib rails ensure safety. High chairs, pillows, and microwaving are unsafe for a 2-month-old due to lack of control, suffocation risk, and uneven heating.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amoxicillin 80 mg/kg/day to divide equally every 8 hr to a preschooler who weighs 33 lb. Available is amoxicillin oral suspension 250 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 33 lb / 2.2 = 15 kg; 80 mg/kg/day × 15 kg = 1200 mg/day; 1200 mg / 3 doses = 400 mg/dose; 400 mg / (250 mg/5 mL) = 8 mL.
