ATI Pediatric Proctored Exam 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Parents are speaking with the urologist about their son's undescended testicle. Which statement by the child's father causes the nurse to determine he understands the information presented?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because an undescended testicle can reduce fertility. Even after surgical correction (orchiopexy), fertility rates may be reduced, especially when one testis remains undescended. The statement in choice B is incorrect as the testicle should have descended into the scrotum by the time the infant is 4-6 months old. While choice C is true that surgical correction can reduce the risk of testicular tumors, the question focuses on the father's understanding of the information presented, which is better reflected in choice A. Choice D is incorrect because the optimal time for surgical correction of an undescended testicle is typically around 6-18 months of age, not necessarily at the time of diagnosis.
Question 2 of 5
When teaching an adolescent about managing tinea pedis, which statement indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wearing sandals allows air circulation around the feet, reducing perspiration and eliminating the environment for bacteria and fungus to thrive. This promotes the healing of the fungal infection. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
Question 3 of 5
Which principle does not follow neuromaturational theory?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Neuromaturational theory emphasizes that motor development progresses in a predictable sequence and rate, starting from primitive reflexes to voluntary control. It also states that low-level skills are foundational for higher-level skills. However, the theory does not support the idea that movement solely emerges from an interaction and cooperation of many systems, as it focuses more on the hierarchical development of motor skills.
Question 4 of 5
What is the next food texture after 'soft and bite-sized pieces of meltable and soft-solid foods'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After mastering soft and bite-sized pieces, children typically progress to regular table foods.
Question 5 of 5
A healthcare professional is reviewing the laboratory report of an infant who is receiving treatment for severe dehydration. The professional should identify which of the following laboratory values indicates effectiveness of the current treatment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A sodium level of 140 mEq/L within the expected reference range indicates effective treatment for dehydration. In dehydration, sodium levels are often elevated, so a normal sodium level suggests that the treatment is helping to restore the electrolyte balance in the infant's body.
