ATI RN Custom Exams Set 5 Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse supervises care of a client in Buck's traction. The nurse determines that care is appropriate if which of the following is observed? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Correct care for a client in Buck's traction includes turning the client to the unaffected side to prevent complications such as pressure ulcers. Additionally, asking the client to dorsiflex the foot on the affected leg helps prevent foot drop. Removing the foam boot three times per day to inspect the skin is unnecessary and could disrupt the traction, so it is not appropriate.
Therefore, choices A and D are incorrect.
Question 2 of 5
A patient with Crohn's disease is experiencing diarrhea. Which dietary recommendation is appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A low-residue diet is appropriate for a patient with Crohn's disease experiencing diarrhea because it helps reduce bowel movements and manage symptoms.
Choice A, a high-fiber diet, can exacerbate diarrhea in Crohn's disease due to increased bulk and fermentation in the gut.
Choice C, a high-fat diet, may be hard to digest and can worsen symptoms.
Choice D, a high-protein diet, can be taxing on the digestive system and may not provide the relief needed for diarrhea in Crohn's disease.
Question 3 of 5
Neomycin may decrease absorption of which nutrient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Fat-soluble vitamins. Neomycin is known to interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. This is because neomycin can disrupt the normal gut flora responsible for the absorption of these vitamins.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because neomycin primarily affects the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, not minerals, proteins, amino acids, or water-soluble vitamins.
Question 4 of 5
Which referral would be most appropriate for the client diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, the occupational therapist. An occupational therapist specializes in helping clients with conditions like thoracic outlet syndrome by providing exercises, adaptations, and strategies to improve function and reduce symptoms.
Choice A, the physical therapist, may also be involved in treatment, but occupational therapists focus more on functional activities for daily living affected by the condition.
Choices B and D are not the most appropriate referrals for thoracic outlet syndrome as they do not directly address the functional limitations associated with this condition.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is analyzing laboratory values for the assigned clients. Which finding, based on the client's medical history, indicates the need for immediate follow-up?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An HbA1c of 7.0% in a client with diabetes mellitus indicates poor long-term glucose control, necessitating immediate follow-up. Elevated HbA1c levels suggest a higher average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months, increasing the risk of complications associated with diabetes.
Choices A, C, and D do not require immediate follow-up based solely on the provided information. A serum creatinine of 1.6 mg/dL in a client with chronic kidney disease, a BNP of 140 pg/mL in a client with heart failure, and hemoglobin of 16.5 g/dL and hematocrit of 45% in a male client with anemia are within acceptable ranges or do not indicate an urgent need for intervention.
