ATI RN Capstone Proctored Comprehensive Assessment Exam A Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse at a health department is providing anticipatory guidance to the parent of a 1-month-old infant. The nurse should inform the parent that the infant should receive which of the following immunizations at the age of 2 months?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rotavirus vaccine is given at 2 months. Varicella, influenza, and hepatitis A are administered at later ages.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is taking losartan. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an adverse effect of this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dizziness is a common adverse effect of losartan due to its blood pressure-lowering effects. Losartan treats hypertension, and double vision or hyperactivity are not associated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department (ED) is assessing a preschooler who has a fractured arm. For which of the following should the nurse further investigate as a warning sign of child maltreatment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The child was brought to the ED 2 days after the injury occurred. A delay in seeking medical care for a significant injury is a potential warning sign of child maltreatment and warrants further investigation. The guardian wanting to accompany the child is typical parental behavior. A fall from a swing is a plausible explanation, though it should be verified. Crying due to pain is expected with a fracture and not indicative of maltreatment.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a provider's office is talking with an older adult client who tells the nurse that they fear they are 'aging badly' and feel 'so useless.' Which of the following assessment questions is the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Do you ever think about harming yourself? This is the priority assessment question because feelings of worthlessness can indicate depression, which increases the risk of suicide in older adults. Assessing for self-harm ensures immediate safety. Other questions are relevant but secondary to safety.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class of newly licensed nurses about infectious diseases that nurses are required to report to the health department. Which of the following diseases should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pulmonary tuberculosis. This is a highly contagious airborne disease that must be reported for public health intervention. Fibromyalgia, herpes, and MRSA are not universally reportable.
