Pediatric ATI Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A healthcare professional is planning care for an infant who has a colostomy. Which of the following actions should the healthcare professional take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When caring for an infant with a colostomy, it is essential to apply barrier ointment to the skin around the stoma. This helps in preventing skin breakdown and irritation caused by exposure to stool or urine. Changing the ostomy pouch as needed, using appropriate cleaning supplies such as warm water and mild soap (avoiding harsh chemicals like alcohol), and ensuring gentle cleaning of the stoma with a soft cloth or gauze are also important steps in colostomy care. Using baby wipes may not be recommended as they can contain chemicals that may irritate the sensitive skin around the stoma.
Question 2 of 5
What is an appropriate intervention for the edematous child with reduced mobility related to nephrotic syndrome?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Changing the child's position frequently is essential for preventing respiratory tract infections and reducing pressure on delicate skin, which are common risks for edematous children with reduced mobility due to nephrotic syndrome. This intervention helps promote circulation and prevents complications associated with prolonged immobility.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action is to notify the healthcare provider in charge of this occurrence of paraphimosis.
