RN ATI Capstone Proctored Comprehensive Assessment Form B Questions

Question 1 of 5

An occupational health nurse is preparing to teach a health promotion class for workers at a warehouse. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct statement to include is to 'Keep your abdominal muscles tightened when lifting objects.' This practice helps protect the back from injury by providing core stability. Rubbing hands together for 10 seconds when washing them (Choice A) is a good hygiene practice, but not directly related to warehouse work safety. Ensuring 20% or less of calories come from saturated fats (Choice C) is important for overall health but not specific to workplace safety. Engaging in aerobic exercise 2 to 4 days per week for 20 minutes (Choice D) is beneficial for health but not as directly relevant to preventing injuries while working in a warehouse.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for amoxicillin clavulanate to treat pharyngitis. Which statement indicates understanding?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The client should never double the dose if a dose is missed. This can lead to an overdose, which can cause serious adverse effects. Instead, the client should take the next dose as scheduled or consult the provider for guidance.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is in labor and has an external fetal monitor in place. The nurse observes late decelerations in the fetal heart rate. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Administering oxygen by face mask is the priority intervention when late decelerations are observed in the fetal heart rate. Late decelerations indicate uteroplacental insufficiency, and administering oxygen helps to improve fetal oxygenation. Repositioning the client may also be necessary to relieve pressure on the umbilical cord, but providing oxygen takes precedence to enhance fetal oxygenation. Decreasing IV fluids may not directly address the underlying issue leading to late decelerations. Documenting the findings is important but should not be the first action taken when managing late decelerations.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse in the PACU is caring for a client who has received general anesthesia and has a manifestation of malignant hyperthermia. The nurse should expect to administer which of the following medications?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Corrected Rationale: Dantrolene is the medication of choice to treat malignant hyperthermia, a life-threatening reaction to general anesthesia. It works by inhibiting the release of calcium ions in skeletal muscle cells, preventing muscle contracture and hypermetabolism. Acetaminophen (Choice A) and ibuprofen (Choice B) are not indicated for treating malignant hyperthermia. Diazepam (Choice D) may be used to control muscle spasms but is not the first-line treatment for malignant hyperthermia.

Question 5 of 5

What are the common side effects of opioid analgesics, and how should they be managed?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Common side effects of opioid analgesics include drowsiness and dizziness. These side effects can impair a person's ability to operate machinery or drive safely. To manage these side effects, it is essential to advise patients to avoid activities that require alertness until they know how the medication affects them. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because respiratory depression, constipation, and nausea are also common side effects of opioids, but they are not the primary side effects being asked for in this question.
