ATI Capstone Week 10 Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has HIV. Which of the following laboratory values is the nurse’s priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A CD4-T-cell count of 180 cells/mm³ indicates severe immunosuppression, increasing opportunistic infection risk, making it the priority. Other values are normal or less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
A client receiving infliximab through intravenous infusion is reporting difficulty swallowing. Which immediate action would the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Shutting off the infusion is the immediate action to prevent further complications from a possible infusion reaction or anaphylaxis. Notifying the provider, deep breathing, or diphenhydramine are secondary actions.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has bilateral eye patches in place following an injury. When the client’s food tray arrives, which of the following interventions should the nurse take to promote independence in eating?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Describing food locations promotes independence by enabling the client to locate items using touch and memory. Liquid diets, feeding assistance, or tray placement are less empowering.
Question 4 of 5
A client arrives at the health care clinic and tells the nurse that she was just bitten by a tick and would like to be tested for Lyme disease. Which nursing action is appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Referring for a blood test immediately aids early Lyme disease diagnosis. The tick is not required, and tick details are secondary to testing.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is HIV positive and is one day postoperative following an appendectomy. The nurse should wear a gown as personal protective equipment when taking which of the following actions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A gown is required during dressing changes to protect against blood or body fluid exposure. Other actions typically do not require a gown unless fluid exposure is likely.
