ATI Capstone Week 10 Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A doctor ordered amoxicillin 2 gm/day PO divided into two doses. The nurse is preparing to administer the first dose. The amount available is tablets. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The correct answer is 2 tablets. Since the doctor ordered 2 gm/day divided into two doses, each dose would be 1 gm. Considering each tablet is 500 mg, 2 tablets would equal 1 gm, fulfilling the doctor's prescription accurately. Other choices are incorrect as they do not match the required dosage of 2 gm/day.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge instructions for a client following surgery with insertion of an intraocular lens. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Restrict lifting objects greater than 10 pounds. After intraocular lens surgery, the client should avoid lifting heavy objects to prevent increased intraocular pressure which can lead to complications. Option A is incorrect because vision should improve, not reduce, after the procedure. Option C is incorrect as aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding post-surgery. Option D is incorrect as warm compresses can increase inflammation and discomfort.
Question 3 of 5
While working in the emergency department, the unit secretary says, “We just got a call that someone with a severe peanut allergy accidentally ate peanuts and is on the way.” Which emergency equipment would the nurse gather to prepare for the client’s arrival? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: The correct answer is A,B.
A: Intubation equipment and oxygen are essential for managing anaphylaxis, as severe allergic reactions can lead to airway compromise and respiratory distress.
B: Epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis to reverse the allergic reaction and stabilize blood pressure.
Incorrect choices:
C: Blood administration equipment is not necessary for managing a severe peanut allergy reaction.
D: Foley catheter is unrelated to the immediate management of anaphylaxis.
Question 4 of 5
A clinic nurse is performing a physical assessment on a client who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: A dry, red rash across the bridge of the nose and on the cheeks. This finding is characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is known as a "butterfly rash." The rash is a key clinical manifestation of SLE due to immune complex deposition in the skin. This rash typically spares the nasolabial folds, which helps differentiate it from other rashes. Pitting edema of the hands and fingers (choice
A) is not a typical finding in SLE and is more commonly associated with conditions like heart failure or kidney disease. Subcutaneous nodules on the ulnar side of the arm (choice
B) are more indicative of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. A grey-colored, non-purpuric papular rash (choice
D) is not a typical manifestation of SLE.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client following cataract surgery. Which of the following comments from the client should the nurse report to the client’s provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the client complaining of severe pain post cataract surgery could indicate a potential complication or inadequate pain management. Reporting this to the provider promptly is crucial to ensure proper assessment and intervention. Option A is incorrect as it shows the client is following post-op instructions. Option B is common after cataract surgery and can be managed easily. Option C is a common concern post-surgery, and the nurse can address it by ensuring a safe environment.
