ATI Capstone Exam 1 | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale: The nurse should administer 2 tablets of amitriptyline 75 mg each to achieve a total dose of 150 mg. Since each tablet is 75 mg, 2 tablets would equal 150 mg. This ensures the patient receives the prescribed dose accurately. Other choices are incorrect because administering 1 tablet would result in only 75 mg, insufficient for the prescribed dose. Administering 3 tablets would exceed the prescribed dose, leading to potential overdose.

Choices above 3 tablets are also incorrect as they would significantly exceed the prescribed 150 mg dose, risking adverse effects.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Office of Emergency Management (OEM). The rationale is that the Office of Emergency Management is responsible for coordinating disaster response efforts at the local level. By notifying OEM immediately after calling 911, the nurse ensures a timely and organized response to the incident. The other choices are incorrect because FEMA mainly provides federal assistance for disasters, American Red Cross focuses on providing relief services to disaster victims, and the Department of Homeland Security oversees national security and emergency preparedness but may not be directly involved in local response coordination.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. The client with severe respiratory stridor and a deviated trachea should be assessed first as this indicates a compromised airway, which is a life-threatening emergency. Immediate intervention is crucial to prevent respiratory arrest. Clients with airway issues should always be the top priority in triage.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Small circular partial-thickness burn of the left calf is not immediately life-threatening and can be addressed after addressing more critical conditions.
C: Splinted open fracture of the left medial malleolus, while serious, does not present an immediate threat to the client's life compared to compromised airway.
D: Massive head injury and seizures are also serious, but in this scenario, the client with compromised airway takes precedence as airway issues can lead to rapid deterioration.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Log roll the client every 2 hours. This action is crucial for preventing complications such as pressure ulcers and maintaining spinal alignment post spinal fusion surgery. Log rolling helps to keep the spine in proper alignment and reduces the risk of injury to the surgical site. Assisting the client to sit upright for 4 hours at a time (choice
A) can put excessive pressure on the surgical site and hinder the healing process. Expecting clear drainage on the spinal dressing (choice
B) is not appropriate as drainage may vary and is not necessarily an indicator of infection. Performing neurological checks every 8 hours (choice
D) is important but should be done more frequently in the immediate postoperative period.
