ATI Capstone Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer clindamycin palmitate 225 mg PO every 8 hours to a client. The amount available is clindamycin palmitate oral suspension 75 mg/5 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (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:
Correct Answer: 15 mL
Rationale:
To calculate the mL to administer, first determine the total daily dose (675 mg). Divide this by the concentration of the oral suspension (75 mg/5 mL) to get the total mL per day (45 mL). Divide this by the number of doses per day (3) to get the mL per dose (15 mL).
Summary:
A: Incorrect, as it does not align with the correct calculation.
B-G: Irrelevant since the correct calculation method indicates 15 mL is the appropriate answer.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who has a new prescription for home oxygen. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Do not adjust the oxygen flow rate. It is essential not to adjust the oxygen flow rate as it is prescribed by a healthcare provider based on the client's condition. Incorrectly adjusting the flow rate can lead to inadequate oxygen delivery or oxygen toxicity.
Choice A is incorrect as wool blankets can generate static electricity, which can be dangerous around oxygen.
Choice C is incorrect because oxygen tanks should be stored vertically to prevent accidents.
Choice D is incorrect as oxygen equipment should be checked daily for safety and functionality.
Question 3 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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Scatter rugs are present in the kitchen. Scatter rugs can pose a safety risk for an older adult with decreased vision due to glaucoma as they increase the risk of tripping and falling. The uneven surface and lack of secure placement make scatter rugs hazardous. Handrails in the bathroom (
A) enhance safety, electrical cords along the walls (
B) may be a tripping hazard but can be easily addressed, and using a microwave for cooking (
C) is a safe and convenient option for someone with decreased vision.
Question 4 of 5
A client is to receive enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneously. Available is enoxaparin 40 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 0.8
Rationale:
To calculate the mL of enoxaparin needed, divide the desired dose (30 mg) by the concentration (40 mg/mL): 30 mg / 40 mg/mL = 0.75 mL. Since the answer should be rounded to the nearest tenth, 0.75 rounds up to 0.8 mL.
Therefore, the correct answer is 0.8 mL.
Choice A (0.5 mL) is incorrect as it is not the result of the calculation.
Choices B, C, D, E, F, and G are also incorrect as they do not match the correct answer derived from the calculation.
Question 5 of 5
Correct Answer:
Rationale: Question: What is the capital of France?
Choices:
A: London
B: Madrid
C: Rome
D: Paris
E: Berlin
F: Amsterdam
G: Brussels
Correct Answer: D: Paris
Rationale:
1. Paris is the capital of France, confirmed by its historical, cultural, and political significance.
2. London, Madrid, Rome, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Brussels are capitals of other European countries.
3. Selecting any choice other than Paris would be factually incorrect based on geography and global knowledge.
