ATI Medical Surgical 2 Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment on a client with a diagnosis of pernicious anemia. Which finding would the nurse expect to note in this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A red, smooth, sore tongue is typical in pernicious anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency affecting epithelial cells. Dusky membranes, shortness of breath, and dyspnea are less specific.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a client who is preparing for a pelvic examination with Papanicolaou (Pap) test. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Emptying the bladder before a pelvic examination allows for better visualization and manipulation of the pelvic organs. Douching can interfere with test results, informed consent is not typically required for a Pap test, and sedation is not used for this procedure.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a client who has endometriosis. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Endometriosis can cause pain during bowel movements due to the presence of endometrial tissue on the bowel or other pelvic structures. Bed rest alone is not an effective treatment for endometriosis pain. Hormonal therapy can manage symptoms but does not cure endometriosis. Endometriosis can affect fertility, making it more difficult for some women to become pregnant.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who asks which diagnostic test is the preferred method for detecting cervical cancer. Which is an appropriate response by the nurse?

Rationale: The Papanicolaou (Pap) test is the standard method for detecting cervical cancer by identifying precancerous or cancerous cervical cells. The other tests are used for different conditions.
