Nutrition ATI Proctored Exam
1. Which of the following conditions is not caused by energy drinks?
- A. Nervousness
- B. Bradycardia
- C. Seizures
- D. Dental caries
Correct answer: B: Bradycardia
Rationale: Energy drinks are known for causing a variety of health issues, including nervousness, seizures, and an increased risk of dental caries due to their high sugar content. However, they do not cause bradycardia, which is a slow heart rate. Instead, energy drinks are associated with causing an increased or rapid heart rate, known as tachycardia. Therefore, out of the listed options, bradycardia is the condition not caused by energy drinks.
2. Nurse Farah is caring for a client following a mastectomy. Which assessment finding indicates that the client is experiencing a complication related to the surgery?
- A. Pain at the incision site
- B. Arm edema on the operative side
- C. Sanguineous drainage in the Jackson-Pratt drain
- D. Complaints of decreased sensation near the operative site
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Arm edema on the operative side (lymphedema) is a known complication after a mastectomy. This can indicate impaired lymphatic drainage, leading to fluid accumulation in the arm. Pain at the incision site is expected postoperatively and may not necessarily indicate a complication. Sanguineous drainage in the Jackson-Pratt drain is a common finding in the immediate postoperative period. Complaints of decreased sensation near the operative site could be related to nerve damage or surgical manipulation, but it is not a typical complication after a mastectomy.
3. Donna needs further teaching about the use of partograph if she said to her CI that:
- A. I will start using the partograph if the patient's cervix is already 4 cm dilated.
- B. I can use the partograph in all pregnant women.
- C. I will plot the cervical dilatation using 'x'.
- D. I need to refer my patient to the hospital if the cervical dilatation reaches the action line.
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Donna needs further teaching because using a partograph in all pregnant women is incorrect. The partograph is specifically used when labor is established to monitor the progress of labor and identify deviations from normal patterns. It is not meant to be used indiscriminately in all pregnant women, but rather in those who are in labor to enhance safe delivery practices.
4. After auscultating a client's breath sounds, the nurse is providing care. Which finding is correctly matched to the nurse's primary intervention?
- A. Hollow sounds are heard over the trachea. The nurse increases the oxygen flow rate.
- B. Crackles are heard in bases. The nurse encourages the client to cough forcefully.
- C. Wheezes are heard in central areas. The nurse administers an inhaled bronchodilator.
- D. Vesicular sounds are heard over the periphery. The nurse has the client breathe deeply.
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Wheezes are indicative of narrowed airways, and bronchodilators help to open the air passages, making option C the correct match. Wheezes are typically heard in the central or peripheral lung areas and are associated with conditions like asthma or COPD. Inhaled bronchodilators work by dilating the bronchioles, which helps alleviate wheezing and improve airflow. Therefore, administering an inhaled bronchodilator is the appropriate intervention in response to wheezes.
5. Which food has the highest calcium content?
- A. 1 cup of carrot strips
- B. 3 oz of canned salmon
- C. 1 plain baked potato
- D. 1 cup of chopped chicken breast
Correct answer: 3 oz of canned salmon
Rationale: The highest source of calcium among the given choices is the 3 oz of canned salmon. This is due to the presence of bones in canned salmon, which are rich in calcium. The other options, including 1 cup of carrot strips, 1 plain baked potato, and 1 cup of chopped chicken breast, do not contain as much calcium due to the nature of their composition and lack of bone content.
