ATI Capstone Week 10 Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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: Severe pain after cataract surgery may indicate complications like increased intraocular pressure or infection, requiring immediate reporting. Itching, light sensitivity, and fear of falling are common and less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in an ophthalmology clinic is interviewing a client who was referred by his primary care provider for suspicion of cataracts. The nurse should expect the client to report:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cataracts cause cloudy lenses, reducing color perception. Peripheral vision loss is linked to glaucoma, flashes and floaters to retinal detachment, and central vision loss to macular degeneration.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a left corneal transplant. The nurse observes purulent drainage from the affected eye. Which of the following actions is the nurse’s priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Notifying the surgeon is the priority because purulent drainage may indicate a serious infection or complication requiring immediate medical evaluation. A non-pressure patch, cleaning the eye, or instilling antibiotics are secondary actions pending surgeon’s orders.
Question 4 of 5
During a routine physical examination, a nurse observes a 1-cm (0.4-in) lesion on a client’s chest. The lesion is raised and flesh-colored with pearly and waxy borders that are well defined. The nurse should recognize that this finding is suggestive of which of the following types of skin cancer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Basal cell carcinoma typically appears as a raised, pearly, waxy lesion. Actinic keratosis is scaly, melanoma is pigmented, and squamous cell carcinoma is nodular or crusted.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about the seven warning signs of cancer. Which of the following signs should the nurse include as manifestations of cancer? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D
Rationale: Nagging cough, non-healing sores, mole changes, and bowel pattern changes are cancer warning signs. Bloating is not a primary sign.
