ATI Pediatric Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A child is in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury. Which of the following interventions should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: During the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury, the priority is to manage fluid balance. Administering a loop diuretic helps promote diuresis and reduce fluid retention, aiding in managing the condition effectively. Providing a low-sodium diet may be beneficial but is not the priority intervention during this phase. Weighing the child weekly may be important for monitoring overall health but does not directly address the oliguric phase. Providing a high-protein diet is not typically recommended in acute kidney injury, especially during the oliguric phase.

Question 3 of 5
A child is being assessed for possible appendicitis with perforation. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a child with appendicitis and possible perforation, the nurse should expect bradycardia due to peritoneal irritation. Bradycardia is a common response to peritoneal inflammation or infection, indicating a possible serious complication. Hyperactive bowel sounds, abdominal distension, and hypoactive bowel sounds are more commonly associated with other gastrointestinal conditions and are less likely to be present in a child with appendicitis and perforation.

Question 5 of 5
A child with suspected bacterial meningitis is under the care of a nurse. Which action should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The priority action for a child with suspected bacterial meningitis is to implement seizure precautions. Meningitis can lead to increased intracranial pressure, which may trigger seizures. By implementing seizure precautions, such as padding the side rails of the bed and ensuring a clear environment, the nurse aims to prevent injury during a potential seizure episode, prioritizing the child's safety.
