ATI RN Custom Exams Set 2

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is to administer the digoxin. An apical rate of 140 bpm is within the normal range for a newborn. Digoxin is commonly prescribed for heart failure in newborns to help improve cardiac function. Holding the medication or notifying the healthcare provider is not necessary as the heart rate is normal for a newborn. Rechecking the apical rate in 1 hour is not needed since the heart rate is within the expected range.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Conduction is the process of heat transfer that occurs between objects or substances that are in direct contact with each other. In this process, heat is transferred from a hotter surface to a cooler surface through direct contact. This type of heat transfer does not involve the movement of the substances themselves, only the transfer of thermal energy. Radiation (Choice A) is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, while convection (Choice C) is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids. Evaporation (Choice D) is a cooling process that involves the phase change of a liquid into a gas.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tyramine. Tyramine can interact with monoamine oxidase inhibitors, leading to hypertensive crises. Folate (choice A) is not contraindicated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Potassium (choice C) is an essential mineral and not specifically contraindicated with these medications. Vitamin K (choice D) is not a concern for interactions with monoamine oxidase inhibitors.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: In patients with chronic alcoholism, the most likely nutrient deficiency is Vitamin B1 (thiamine), not Vitamin B12. Chronic alcoholism often leads to Vitamin B1 deficiency, causing conditions like Wernicke's encephalopathy. While other vitamin deficiencies can also occur in chronic alcoholism, such as Vitamin C and Vitamin D, Vitamin B1 deficiency is more commonly associated with alcoholism.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Turnips, radish, and horseradish are known to cause false-positive results in a Guaiac Test, which is used to detect blood in the stool. Avoiding these foods is crucial to ensure accurate test results. Choice B is incorrect as iron preparation is not directly related to the Guaiac Test. Choice C is incorrect because avoiding meat is not specifically necessary before a Guaiac Test. Choice D is incorrect as caffeine and dark-colored foods can potentially interfere with test results, so they should not be encouraged.
