ATI Pediatrics Proctored Exam 2023 with NGN Questions
Question 1 of 5
A breastfeeding mother complains of sore nipples. Which intervention should the nurse suggest?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct intervention for sore nipples in a breastfeeding mother is to suggest applying lanolin cream after each feeding. Lanolin cream can help soothe and protect the nipples, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. Using a breast pump may not address the underlying issue causing soreness. Washing nipples with soap and water excessively can lead to dryness and further irritation. Reducing breastfeeding frequency may impact milk supply and bonding. Therefore, recommending lanolin cream is the most appropriate intervention to alleviate soreness in this situation.
Question 2 of 5
In the treatment of an infected hematoma, which of the following is NOT recommended?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Vitamin E is not a standard treatment for infected hematomas. The primary interventions for infected hematomas typically involve incision and drainage to remove infected fluid and debris, along with the administration of systemic antibiotics to combat the infection. Vitamin E does not play a significant role in the treatment of infected hematomas and is therefore not recommended as a primary treatment option. Choice A (Incision and drainage) and Choice B (Systemic antibiotics) are recommended treatments for infected hematomas as they help in removing infected fluid and combating the infection, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is D, Vitamin E.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following are clinical types of diarrhoea EXCEPT?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Secretory diarrhoea is not a clinical type but a distinct mechanism of diarrhoea characterized by increased electrolyte secretion. Acute watery, bloody, and persistent diarrhoea are recognized clinical types associated with different underlying causes and pathophysiologies. Acute watery diarrhoea is common in infectious gastroenteritis, bloody diarrhoea can be caused by inflammatory conditions or infections, and persistent diarrhoea typically lasts for more than 14 days due to various reasons like infections, malabsorption, or inflammatory bowel diseases.
Question 4 of 5
A breastfeeding mother reports to the nurse that her newborn nurses every hour and never seems satisfied. Which advice should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should ensure that the newborn has a proper latch and is effectively nursing. Sometimes, newborns nurse frequently for comfort even when they are effectively latched. It is essential to address the latch first before considering other interventions. Supplementing with formula (Choice A) may decrease the mother's milk supply. Allowing the newborn to nurse for a set time (Choice B) may not address the underlying latch issue. Reducing nursing sessions (Choice C) may lead to decreased milk production and does not address the latch problem.
Question 5 of 5
The student nurse has performed a gestational age assessment of an infant and finds the infant to be at 32 weeks. On which set of characteristics is the nurse basing this assessment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. At 30 to 32 weeks' gestation, the clitoris is prominent, and the labia minora are enlarging. The labia majora are small and widely separated. As gestational age increases, the labia majora increase in size. At 36 to 40 weeks, they almost cover the clitoris. At 40 weeks and beyond, the labia majora cover the labia minora and clitoris. Choices A, C, and D do not align with the characteristic features seen at 32 weeks of gestation, making them incorrect.
