ATI Capstone Fundamentals Assessment Proctored Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a provider's office is assessing the motor skill development of a 15-month-old toddler during a well-child visit. What gross motor skill should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: At 15 months, a toddler should be able to walk without assistance. Walking without assistance is a major gross motor skill milestone at this age, indicating the child's physical development and coordination. Choices A, B, and D are developmentally inappropriate for a 15-month-old. Jumping with both feet, running with coordination, and kicking a ball forward typically develop later in a child's growth and are more advanced skills compared to walking independently.

Question 2 of 5

A healthcare provider is performing a cultural assessment of a group of clients to maintain respect for their value systems and beliefs. Which of the following should the provider identify as examples of cultural variables?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Eye contact, personal space, and touch are cultural variables that can influence healthcare interactions. These factors vary across cultures and can impact how individuals perceive communication and interactions. Choices A, C, and D include elements that are not specifically cultural variables affecting communication and interactions in the same way as eye contact, personal space, and touch.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is completing an admission assessment for a client who has hearing loss. What action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Using written communication is the most effective action for a nurse when assessing a client with hearing loss. This method helps overcome communication barriers by providing information visually, ensuring the client understands the assessment questions and instructions. Speaking louder (choice B) may distort the sound and not necessarily improve understanding. Facing the client (choice C) is important for lip reading but may not be sufficient for effective communication. Providing care in a quiet environment (choice D) is beneficial but might not fully address the need for clear communication in the assessment process for a client with hearing loss.

Question 4 of 5

A client is being taught by a nurse about the correct use of a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). What instruction should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct instruction the nurse should include when teaching a client about using a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is to hold the inhaler 1-2 inches from the mouth. This distance ensures proper delivery of the medication into the airways. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because inhaling for a specific duration, exhaling immediately after inhaling, or holding the inhaler directly at the lips are not recommended practices for the correct use of an MDI.

Question 5 of 5

A healthcare professional is preparing to administer multiple medications to a client with dysphagia. What action should the healthcare professional take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Clients with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing, so providing medications through a straw can help control the flow and prevent aspiration. Offering medications with a full glass of water (Choice A) may increase the risk of aspiration. Crushing medications and mixing them together (Choice B) can alter the medication's effectiveness or cause adverse effects. Mixing medications with applesauce (Choice D) may also present a choking hazard for clients with dysphagia.
