ATI Capstone Week 10 Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client 1 day postoperative following a detached retinal repair. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Avoid reading and writing. Following a detached retinal repair, the client should avoid activities that strain the eyes, such as reading and writing, to prevent increased intraocular pressure and potential damage to the surgical site. Reading and writing can lead to eye strain and may impede the healing process. It is important to limit activities that require intense visual focus to promote optimal recovery. The other choices are incorrect because: A: Ambulating is generally encouraged postoperatively to prevent complications such as blood clots. B: Keeping the eye patch on during the day is crucial for protection and healing. C: Encouraging coughing and deep-breathing is important for lung expansion and preventing respiratory complications.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is creating a plan of care for a client diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome. Which interventions should the nurse incorporate in the plan for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Use of artificial tears. Sjögren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to dry eyes and dry mouth. Using artificial tears helps to alleviate dryness and discomfort in the eyes. This intervention is crucial in managing the symptoms of Sjögren’s syndrome.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Silicone-based vaginal lubricants are not directly related to managing the symptoms of Sjögren’s syndrome.
B: While using dehumidifiers may help with dryness in the environment, it does not directly address the dry eyes associated with Sjögren’s syndrome.
D: Using contact lenses may exacerbate dry eye symptoms in individuals with Sjögren’s syndrome.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is collecting data to determine the client’s risk factors related to cervical cancer. The nurse determines which information to be significant?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Multiple sexual partners. This is significant because having multiple sexual partners increases the risk of exposure to human papillomavirus (HPV), a major risk factor for cervical cancer. Option B, multiple pregnancies, is incorrect as it is not directly linked to cervical cancer. Option C, late onset of menarche, does not directly impact cervical cancer risk. Option D, use of a diaphragm, is not a significant risk factor compared to HPV exposure.
Question 4 of 5
A home health nurse is assessing an older adult client in the home who has decreased vision due to a history of glaucoma. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a safety risk?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Scatter rugs are present in the kitchen. Scatter rugs can pose a safety risk to an older adult with decreased vision as they can easily trip over them. The uneven surface and lack of secure attachment make them a hazard. Electrical cords along the walls (
A) can be easily avoided if noticed. Handrails in the bathroom (
C) provide support and enhance safety. Using a microwave for cooking (
D) is a safe and convenient method for individuals with visual impairments.
Question 5 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.
