Pediatric ATI Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A caregiver is learning about administering digoxin to a toddler. Which statement by the caregiver indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct statement is D because giving the child water after administering digoxin helps ensure the medication is swallowed properly. Mixing the medication with juice (choice A) may affect its absorption. Giving the medication with meals (choice B) may interfere with its effectiveness. Administering a second dose if the child vomits (choice C) is not recommended as it may lead to an overdose.
Question 2 of 5
A healthcare professional is assessing a child who has nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following findings should the healthcare professional expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In nephrotic syndrome, there is increased permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier, leading to protein loss in the urine. This results in hypoalbuminemia, causing fluid retention and edema. Therefore, weight gain due to fluid retention is a common finding in children with nephrotic syndrome.

Question 5 of 5
During an assessment, which manifestation should a healthcare provider expect in an infant with pyloric stenosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pyloric stenosis in infants typically presents with an olive-shaped mass in the upper abdomen due to hypertrophy of the pyloric muscle. This mass can often be palpated during an assessment and is a key characteristic of this condition. Bile-stained vomitus may be seen in conditions such as intestinal obstruction; a distended abdomen can be a nonspecific sign of various conditions, and painless, swollen joints are not typically associated with pyloric stenosis.
