About this Exam
Prepare with the ATI CBC Level 3 Practice Test practice quiz. This question bank includes 10 questions covering value, syndrome, postpartum, medication, and within. Use it to review important concepts, identify knowledge gaps, and build confidence for the related exam, course, or assessment.
Sample Questions
Question
1
Which lab value is listed as a high value in nephrotic syndrome labs?
Explanation:
Nephrotic syndrome often sets up a prothrombotic state. Loss of anticoagulant proteins in the urine, like antithrombin III, combined with the liver’s increased production of coagulation factors and fibrinogen, makes blood more prone to clotting. In this hypercoagulable milieu, platelets can rise as a reactive change, so a high platelet count is a lab finding you might see. The other options don’t typically present as elevated in this context: platelets would not be high if thrombocytopenia were occurring; hemoglobin is usually normal or low rather than high; and sodium is not characteristically elevated in nephrotic labs.
Question
2
What can cause prerenal azotemia?
Explanation:
Reduced renal perfusion lowers the glomerular filtration rate without directly injuring kidney tissue. When the kidneys don’t receive enough blood flow, they conserve sodium and water and the filtration drops, causing azotemia that is classified as prerenal. This is why interference with renal perfusion is the correct way to describe prerenal causes. Obstruction of the urinary tract causes postrenal azotemia, not a perfusion problem. Glomerular inflammation is an intrinsic renal issue that damages the filtering units themselves. Acute tubular necrosis is also intrinsic: it involves damage to the tubular cells from ischemia or toxins. Prerenal azotemia, in contrast, centers on decreased blood flow to the kidneys and can, if not corrected, progress to intrinsic injury, but its starting event is reduced perfusion.
Question
3
Which item is not part of the ABCDEs of melanoma?
Explanation:
The ABCDE rule helps identify melanoma by focusing on features that signal a lesion may be malignant: Asymmetry (one half doesn’t mirror the other), Border irregularity (edges are uneven or notched), Color variation (multiple colors or uneven color), Diameter (growth beyond about 6 mm), and Evolution (changes over time in size, shape, color, or symptoms). Elevation, while a possible descriptor for how a lesion sits on the skin, isn’t part of the classic ABCDE criteria. In this rule, the E stands for Evolution or evolving, not Elevation. So Elevation is the item that isn’t included in the standard ABCDE checklist.
Question
4
Which condition is a risk factor for postpartum depression?
Explanation:
Risk factors for postpartum depression include a mix of personal history and birth-related stressors, and the experience of preterm birth stands out as a notable risk. When a baby is born prematurely, they often require NICU care and face health uncertainties, which heightens maternal stress, sleep disruption, and worry about the infant’s well-being. This combination of emotional strain and caregiving challenges after delivery can contribute to depressive symptoms during the postpartum period. While gestational diabetes, infertility treatment, and pregnancy complications can be stressful, they don’t show as strong and consistent a link to postpartum depression as preterm birth.
Question
5
Which medication is used after opioid detox to maintain abstinence?
Explanation:
After detox, the goal is to prevent relapse by blocking the rewarding effects of opioids. Naltrexone does this because it is an opioid receptor antagonist; once receptors are blocked, taking opioids won’t produce euphoria, which helps sustain abstinence. It’s started only after a clear detox has occurred, since giving it while opioids are still in the system can trigger withdrawal. In contrast, methadone and buprenorphine act as opioid agonist or partial agonist therapies that replace the abused opioid with a controlled substance to ease withdrawal and cravings, which supports ongoing opioid use in a controlled way rather than enforcing complete abstinence. Naloxone is used mainly for emergency overdose reversal, not long-term abstinence maintenance.
