ATI Capstone Exam 2 Final Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse who is off duty finds a woman who has collapsed and has right-sided weakness and slurred speech. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calling emergency services ensures rapid stroke intervention, critical for minimizing damage. Driving delays care, sitting doesn’t address urgency, and contacting the provider is secondary to EMS.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for chlorpromazine. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dry mouth is a common chlorpromazine side effect due to reduced saliva production. Frequent urination, smoking cessation, and flu-like symptoms are not associated; urinary retention may occur instead.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is speaking with the mother of a 6-year-old child. Which of the following statements by the mother should concern the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Squinting to see the board suggests a vision problem, like myopia, requiring evaluation to support academic and developmental needs. Bossiness and cheating are typical behaviors needing guidance, and losing front teeth is normal at this age.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is talking with a client who is scheduled for surgery to repair retinal detachment. Which of the following preoperative instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Restricting head movement prevents further retinal detachment pre-surgery. Eye patches are postoperative, cool compresses are not standard, and dilating drops, not constricting, are used.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer enoxaparin to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Not expelling the air bubble in the prefilled syringe ensures the full dose of enoxaparin is administered and prevents leakage. Aspirating is not needed for subcutaneous injections, a 90-degree angle is preferred, and while 1 inch from the umbilicus is correct, the air bubble is the key consideration.
