ATI RN Pediatric Nursing 2023 Questions
Extract:
A nurse on a pediatric intensive care unit is caring for a toddler who weighs 12 kg (26.5 lb) and is postoperative following open heart surgery.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. A urine output of 15 mL in the last 2 hours should be reported to the provider as it indicates oliguria, which could be a sign of renal impairment or inadequate fluid intake. Low urine output may be an early sign of kidney dysfunction or dehydration. It is crucial to address this promptly to prevent further complications.
The other choices are not as critical to report immediately:
- A: Drainage from the chest tube of 22 mL in the last hour is within the expected range.
- C: Skin temperature of 36°C (96.8°F) is within the normal range.
- D: Pedal and posterior tibial pulses of 2+ indicate normal peripheral perfusion.
Therefore, option B is the most concerning finding that requires immediate attention.
