ATI Pediatrics Proctored Exam 2023 Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

A patient is 1 hour postoperative following an open reduction internal fixation of the left tibia. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: It is crucial to assess the neurovascular status of the extremities every 4 hours to monitor for any signs of complications such as impaired circulation or nerve damage. This frequent assessment helps in early detection of any issues that may arise postoperatively, allowing for timely intervention and prevention of potential complications.

Question 2 of 5

A child with nephrotic syndrome has not experienced diuresis after a month on corticosteroids. What protocol can the nurse encourage to induce diuresis?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: If diuresis has not occurred with corticosteroids in nephrotic syndrome, a diuretic like Furosemide (Lasix) is the appropriate choice to promote diuresis. Furosemide works by increasing urine production and reducing fluid retention. While Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory agent, it does not directly induce diuresis. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic and is not indicated for promoting diuresis in this scenario. Cyclophosphamide is an immunosuppressant, not an antisuppressant, and is not typically used to induce diuresis in nephrotic syndrome.

Question 3 of 5

How would you best evaluate the clinical usefulness of a test?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: When evaluating the clinical usefulness of a test, it is essential to consider the specific needs of clients and discuss these considerations with colleagues. This collaborative approach ensures that the chosen test is appropriate and beneficial for the individuals being assessed.

Question 4 of 5

A parent of a preschooler is being taught by a nurse about administering ear drops. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Correct administration of ear drops includes massaging the child's ear after administering the drops to facilitate proper absorption of the medication. This action helps ensure the effectiveness of the treatment.

Question 5 of 5

When educating a patient about sildenafil (Viagra), which adverse effect should be a priority for the patient to report to his prescriber?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Hearing loss.' In rare cases, Viagra has been associated with sudden hearing loss, typically in one ear, which can be partial or complete. Any onset of hearing problems while using Viagra should be reported promptly to the prescriber. It is recommended to discontinue the medication if it is used for erectile dysfunction. 'Flushing,' 'Diarrhea,' and 'Dyspepsia' are known adverse effects of Viagra but are generally less serious compared to hearing loss.
