RN ATI Capstone Proctored Comprehensive Assessment Form A Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a child who is allergic to penicillin. The nurse should verify which of the following prescriptions with the provider?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Amoxicillin-clavulanate is related to penicillin, and a cross-sensitivity could occur, so the provider should be consulted.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is caring for a child who is allergic to penicillin. The nurse should verify which of the following prescriptions with the provider?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Amoxicillin-clavulanate is related to penicillin, and a cross-sensitivity could occur, so the provider should be consulted.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is caring for a patient postoperatively after a thyroidectomy. Which of the following findings should be reported immediately?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Tingling around the mouth should be reported immediately as it may indicate hypocalcemia, a serious complication resulting from accidental removal or damage to the parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy. Hoarseness and difficulty swallowing are common post-thyroidectomy symptoms related to the surgery itself and the manipulation of the vocal cords and nearby structures. Numbness in the fingers is not typically associated with immediate serious complications of a thyroidectomy.

Question 4 of 5

What is an expected finding during the assessment of a client transitioning into a new role?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: During a client's transition into a new role, the presence of suicidal or homicidal ideation should be assessed due to the increased risk associated with significant life changes. This finding could indicate a need for immediate intervention. While assessing the client's ability to express feelings of guilt is important, it may not be the most critical aspect during this specific assessment. Changes in coping skills over time are relevant but might not be the primary focus during a role transition assessment. The client's involvement in community activities, although beneficial for social support, is not directly related to the immediate concerns of assessing a client transitioning into a new role.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has schizophrenia about thioridazine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Report any sign of infection to the provider immediately.' This instruction is essential for clients taking thioridazine or other antipsychotic medications. Thioridazine does not typically affect blood pressure or cause easy bruising. Muscle rigidity is more commonly associated with other antipsychotic medications. Reporting signs of infection promptly is crucial as antipsychotic medications can affect the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections. Early detection and treatment of infections help prevent complications and ensure proper medication management.
