ATI Pediatric Proctored Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A toddler is admitted to the surgical unit for a planned closure of a temporary colostomy. Which medical prescription should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rectal temperatures are contraindicated in a toddler with a colostomy due to the risk of injury.
Question 2 of 5
Which question does not provide information regarding the family's cultural values?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Asking for the child's date of birth is a factual question that does not directly relate to the family's cultural values. The other choices (A, C, D) explore aspects that could provide insights into the family's cultural values and beliefs, such as decision-making dynamics, daily routines, mealtime rules, and views on disability.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has a new diagnosis of osteomyelitis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should monitor the child’s weight daily to assess the effectiveness of treatment for osteomyelitis and detect potential complications.
Question 4 of 5
A patient develops hypotension, laryngeal edema, and bronchospasm after eating peanuts. Which medication should the nurse prepare to administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The patient is exhibiting symptoms of anaphylaxis triggered by a peanut allergy, which is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. The appropriate medication for anaphylaxis is epinephrine. Epinephrine acts quickly to reverse the symptoms by constricting blood vessels, relaxing bronchial muscles, and reducing laryngeal edema, making it the drug of choice for this situation. Promethazine, diphenhydramine, and hydroxyzine are not the first-line treatments for anaphylaxis and may not address the severe manifestations seen in this case.
Question 5 of 5
Which is NOT one of the functions of challenging behaviors?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Challenging behaviors often serve functions related to avoiding, escaping, obtaining, or sensory needs. The question is asking for the function that does not typically apply to challenging behaviors. Choices A, B, C, and D align with the common functions associated with challenging behaviors. Therefore, 'E' is the correct answer as it does not represent a typical function of challenging behaviors.
