ATI Module B Practice Test Questions, Answered
1.A nurse is speaking with the mother of a 6-year-old child. Which of the following
statements by the mother should concern the nurse?
A. "The teacher says my child has to squint to see the board."
B. "My child has recently lost both front top teeth."
C. "My child often cheats when we play board games."
D. "Sometimes my child acts bossy with his friends." - A. "The teacher says my
child has to squint to see the board." Rationale: Squinting to see the board can
indicate a vision problem. It is essential to assess children for hearing and vision
problems. If not caught early, they lead to frustration and decreased ability to learn.
2. A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child who is resistant to taking medication.
Which of the following strategies should the nurse use to elicit the child's
cooperation?
A. Offer the child a choice of taking the medication with juice or water.
B. Tell the child it is candy.
C. Hide the medication in a large dish of ice cream.
D. Tell the child he will have to have a shot instead. - A. Offer the child a choice of
taking the medication with juice or water. Rationale: While taking the medicine is
not a choice, the child can decide what kind of fluid to take with the medication.
This gives the preschool-aged child a sense of control over a stressful situation and
increases the child's ability to cope.
3. A nurse is caring for a 4-year-old child who has croup and wet the bed overnight.
When the parents visit the next day, the nurse explains the situation and one of the
parents says, "She never wets the bed at home. I am so embarrassed." Which of the
following responses should the nurse make?
A. "It is expected for children who are hospitalized to regress. The toileting skills
will return when your child is feeling better."
B. "I know this can really be embarrassing. I have kids myself, so I understand, and
it doesn't bother me."
C. "Your child did not seem upset, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you."
D. "Why does it bother you that your child has wet the bed?" - A. "It is expected for
children who are hospitalized to regress. The toileting skills will return when your
,child is feeling better." Rationale: A recently learned skill, such as toilet training, is
often temporarily lost due to the stress of hospitalization. The nurse should reassure
the parents that regression is an expected behavior in children who are hospitalized
and that her child will regain bladder control when she is feeling better.
4. A nurse is caring for an 8-month-old infant who screams when the parent leaves
the room. The parent begins to cry and says, "I don't understand why my child is so
upset. I've never seen my child act this way around others before." Which of the
following statements should the nurse make?
A. "This is a normal, expected reaction for a child of this age."
B. "This is a response to an overstimulating environment."
C. "This is a common reaction to an overexposure to caregivers."
D. "This is a typical reaction for a child who is sick." - A. "This is a normal,
expected reaction for a child of this age." Rationale: The 8-month-old child is
exhibiting a normal response to separation from the parent by protesting loudly.
Explaining this expected separation anxiety reaction to the parent might help the
parent to cope with feelings of guilt when leaving the child's bedside.
5. A nurse is caring for a 12-month-old toddler who is hospitalized and confined to a
room with contact precautions in place. Which of the following toys should the nurse
recommend in order to meet the developmental needs of the client?
A. Large building blocks
B. Hanging crib toys
C. Modeling clay
D. Crayons and a coloring book - A. Large building blocks Rationale: Large building
blocks are age-appropriate toys for a 12-month-old toddler
6. A nurse is caring for an 18-month-old toddler who has been hospitalized for 10
days. After the toddler's mother leaves the room, the nurse observes the toddler
sitting quietly in the corner of the crib, sucking her thumb. When the nurse
approaches the crib, the toddler turns away from the nurse. The nurse should
understand that these behaviors indicate which of the following developmental
reactions?
A. An anxiety reaction
B. Regression
, C. Resentment toward the mother
D. Developing autonomy - A. An anxiety reaction Rationale: Hospitalization is
stressful, regardless of the age of the client. However, for an 18-month-old toddler,
separation from parents adds to that stress. The toddler's behavior indicates an
anxiety reaction to the stress of hospitalization. Separation anxiety initially causes
demonstrations of protest. Remaining sad and quiet when a parent leaves indicates
the second response to separation anxiety, which is despair.
7. A nurse is assessing a 6-month-old infant at a well-child visit. Which of the
following findings should the nurse expect?
A. Closed posterior fontanel
B. Uses thumb and index fingers in a pincer grasp
C. Lateral incisors
D. Sitting steadily without support - A. Closed posterior fontanel Rationale: The
infant's posterior fontanel should close by about 8 weeks of age
8. A nurse is teaching a class of older adults about the expected physiologic changes
of aging. Which of the following changes should the nurse include in the discussion?
(Select all that apply.)
A. More difficulty seeing due to a greater sensitivity to glare
B. Decreased cough reflex
C. Decreased bladder capacity
D. Decreased systolic blood pressure
E. Dehydration of intervertebral discs - All are correct Rationale: More difficulty
seeing due to a greater sensitivity to glare is correct. Older adults have an increased
susceptibility to glare, greater difficulty in seeing at low levels of illumination, and
alterations in color perception. Decreased cough reflex is correct. Older adults have a
decreased cough reflex, increased airway resistance, fewer alveoli, and a greater risk
for respiratory infections. Decreased bladder capacity is correct. Older adults have a
decreased bladder capacity and a reduction in renal blood flow. Decreased systolic
blood pressure is incorrect. Older adults have increased systolic blood pressure,
thickening of blood-vessel walls, and decreased peripheral circulation. Dehydration
of intervertebral discs is correct. Older adults have dehydration of intervertebral
discs, decreased muscle strength and mass, and decalcification of bones.
