ATI Capstone Week 9 Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is 2 weeks postoperative following a kidney transplant. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as possible organ rejection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Oliguria indicates possible kidney transplant rejection due to impaired function. Normal temperature, weight loss, and insomnia are not specific signs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a chest tube connected to a closed drainage system and needs to be transported to the x-ray department. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the drainage system below chest level prevents fluid backflow into the pleural space, avoiding complications like pneumothorax. Clamping, disconnecting, or emptying is unsafe.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer albuterol syrup 6 mg PO tid. Available is albuterol 2 mg/5mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 15
Rationale: Dose: 6 mg. Concentration: 2 mg/5 mL. Volume: (6 mg × 5 mL) ÷ 2 mg = 15 mL.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus and notes the client is declining. Which of the following would indicate the client is in a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A glucose level of 650 mg/dL indicates HHS, characterized by extreme hyperglycemia without significant ketosis. Hypertension, fruity breath, and ketosis are more typical of DKA.
Question 5 of 5
What information would the nurse include when educating a postsurgical client on the proper use of antiembolism stockings? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: A,C,D,E
Rationale: Tight stockings impair blood flow, skin hygiene is essential, stockings are worn in/out of bed, and proper fit is critical. Once-daily removal is insufficient for skin checks.
