PN ATI Capstone Proctored Comprehensive Assessment Form A Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a 2-hour-old newborn for cold stress. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Jitteriness of the hands. Jitteriness is a key sign of cold stress in a newborn, indicating the need for immediate warming measures. A respiratory rate of 60/min may not be directly indicative of cold stress. Diaphoresis (excessive sweating) and bounding peripheral pulses are not typical findings associated with cold stress in newborns.

Question 2 of 5

A healthcare provider is reviewing a prescription for doxazosin with a client. Which instruction should the healthcare provider provide?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct instruction for a client prescribed with doxazosin is to rise slowly when sitting up. Doxazosin can cause orthostatic hypotension, leading to dizziness upon sudden position changes. Instructing the client to rise slowly helps prevent this side effect. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they are not directly related to the potential side effects or administration of doxazosin.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client about nonpharmacological pain management techniques. Which statement about hypnosis is appropriate?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: "Hypnosis promotes increased control of pain perception during labor." Hypnosis can be effectively utilized during labor to help individuals enhance their control over how they perceive pain. Choice B is incorrect because hypnosis does not primarily use therapeutic touch to reduce anxiety. Choice C is incorrect as hypnosis is not primarily focused on biofeedback as a relaxation technique. Choice D is incorrect because hypnosis does not provide direct instructions to minimize pain but rather helps individuals gain control over their pain perception.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer a measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) immunization to a child. Which is a contraindication for this vaccine?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Recent blood transfusion. A recent blood transfusion can interfere with the effectiveness of the MMR vaccine, making it a contraindication. Choice B, allergy to penicillin, is not a contraindication for the MMR vaccine. Choice C, minor acute illness, is not a contraindication unless the child has a moderate to severe illness. Choice D, low-grade fever, is not a contraindication as long as the child does not have a moderate to severe febrile illness.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection. Which infection control measure should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is to place the client in a private room. Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection requires contact precautions, which include isolating the client in a private room to prevent the spread of infection to others. Wearing a face shield may be necessary in certain situations for protection but is not the primary measure for C. diff. Placing the client in a negative pressure room is not specifically indicated for C. diff unless the client has additional respiratory issues. Using alcohol-based hand rub following client care is not sufficient for C. diff control; thorough handwashing with soap and water is recommended due to the spore-forming nature of C. diff.
