The 2025 ATI Nursing Care of Children Proctored Exam with 60 Questions: Comprehensive Guide for Exam Success and Detailed Question Solutions is a vital study tool for nursing students preparing for the 2025 ATI Nursing Care of Children Proctored Exam. This comprehensive guide includes 60 targeted practice questions that reflect the exam’s format and content, focusing on pediatric nursing topics such as growth and development, common childhood illnesses, and family-centered care. The questions cover a range of scenarios, including calculating safe medication dosages for a child with asthma, identifying signs of dehydration in an infant with gastroenteritis, or implementing seizure precautions for a child with epilepsy. Each question is accompanied by detailed solutions and rationales, explaining clinical decision-making processes—for instance, why a nurse should use the FLACC pain scale to assess pain in a nonverbal toddler, or how to apply Erikson’s developmental stages to support a preschooler’s sense of initiative. Aligned with the ATI testing framework and NCLEX-RN pediatric nursing standards, this guide also offers a study section summarizing key concepts like pediatric immunization schedules, congenital heart defects (e.g., tetralogy of Fallot), and therapeutic play techniques. With exam success strategies, such as how to analyze priority-based questions and manage test anxiety, this resource ensures students are fully prepared to excel on the ATI proctored exam and build a strong foundation for pediatric nursing practice.
