RN ATI PEDIATRIC PROCTORED EXAM 2024 WITH NGN
A hypothesis is an expected statement of the relationship between variables in a study. In this study, the
dependent variables are absenteeism, retention, and attrition while the independent variable is the
mentorship program. The methodology of a study is the logistical framework that guides the planning and
execution of the study. An abstract is a summary of a research study published in a journal.
1. The practice of changing patients’ bedclothes each day in acute care settings is an example of what type of knowledge?
A) Authoritative
B) Traditional
C) Scientific
D) Applied
Ans: B
Feedback:
Changing bedclothes daily in acute care settings is an example of traditional knowledge. The practice is not
based on research findings, but is rather a part of nursing practice passed down from generation to
generation.

An obstetrical nurse wishes to identify whether clients’ perceptions of a high level of support from their
partner is associated with a decreased length of the second stage of labor. Which type of quantitative
research is most appropriate
2. for this research question?
A) Correlational research
B) Descriptive research
C) Quasi-experimental research
D) Experimental
researchAns: A
Feedback:
Correlational quantitative research is used to examine relationships between two or more variables. In
this case, the variables are perceptions of partner support and length of Stage 2 labor. There is no
manipulation of the variables as there would be in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The
focus on the relationship between the two variables goes beyond simple description of events.
Nurse researchers have predicted that a newly created mentorship program will result in decreased
absenteeism, increased retention, and decreased attrition among a hospital’s nursing staff. Which of the
following does this predicted
3. relationship represent?
A) Hypothesis
B) Dependent variable

C) Abstract
D) Methodology
Ans: A
Feedback:
A student nurse learns how to give injections from the nurse manager. This is an example of the
acquisition of what type
4. of knowledge?
A) Authoritative
B) Traditional
C) Scientific
D) Applied
Ans: A
Feedback:
Authoritative knowledge comes from an expert and is accepted as truth, based on the
person’s perceived expertise. Authoritative knowledge generally remains unchallenged as
long as the presumed authority maintains his or her perceived expertise.

Feedback:
A nurse is preparing to administer an immunization to a 4-year-old child. Which of the
following actions should the nurse plan to take?
A. Place the child in a prone position for the immunization.
B. Request that the child's caregiver leave the room during the immunization.
C. Administer the immunization using a 24-gauge needle.
D. Inject the immunization slowly after aspirating for 3 seconds. - C. Administer the
immunization using a 24-gauge needle.
Rationale: The nurse should administer an immunization for a 4-year-old child using a
22 to 25-gauge needle to minimize the amount of pain the child experiences.
A nurse is caring for a school-age child who has experienced a tonic-clonic seizure.
Which of the following actions should the nurse take during the immediate postictal
period?
A. Place the child in a side-lying position.
B. Delay documentation until the child is fully alert.
C. Give the child a high-carbohydrate snack.
D. Administer an oral sedative to the child. - A. Place the child in a side-lying position.
Rationale: The nurse should place the child in a side-lying position to prevent
aspiration.
NGN* A nurse on a pediatric unit is admitting a preschooler. After reviewing the
information in the medical record the nurse should identify that the child is at risk for
developing which of the following conditions?
Dropdown 1:
Splenomegaly
Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN)
Dysrhythmias
Dropdown 2:

, Positive mononucleosis rapid test
Urinary output
Cardiovascular assessment - 1. Splenomegaly
Rationale: The child's positive mononucleosis rapid test result indicates the presence
of infectious mono, a condition caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Therefore, the nurse
should identify that the child is at risk for developing splenomegaly, a common
complication of infectious mono.
2. Positive mono rapid test
Rationale: The child's positive mononucleosis rapid test result indicates the presence
of infectious mono, a condition caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Therefore, the nurse
should identify that the child is at risk for developing splenomegaly, a common
complication of infectious mono.
A nurse is assessing an infant who has a ventricular septal defect. Which of the
following findings should the nurse expect?
A. Loud, harsh murmur
B. Dysrhythmias
C. Weak femoral pulses
D. High blood pressure - A. Loud, harsh murmur
Rationale: The nurse should expect to hear a loud, harsh murmur with a ventricular
septal defect due to the left-to-right shunting of blood, which contributes to hypertrophy
of the infant's heart muscle.
A nurse is providing discharge teaching the guardians of a toddler with a lower leg
cast applied 24 hours ago. The nurse should instruct the guardians to report which of
the following findings to the provider?
A. Capillary refill time < 2 seconds.
B. Restricted ability to move the toes.
C. Swelling of the casted foot when the leg is dependent.
D. Pedal pulse +3 bilateral. - B. Restricted ability to move the toes.
Rationale: The nurse should inform the guardians that the restricted ability of the
toddler to move their toes is an indication of neuromuscular compromise and requires
immediate notification to the provider. Permanent muscle and tissue damage can
occur in just a few hours.
A nurse is planning an educational program to teach caregivers about protecting their
children from sunburns. Which of the following instructions should the nurse plan to
include?
