ATI Nur 105 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse at a health fair is assessing the weight status of four clients. Which of the following clients are classified as overweight?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because a body mass index (BMI) of 29 falls within the overweight range (BMI 25-29.9). BMI is a widely used indicator of weight status that takes into account both weight and height.
Choices A and C focus on waist circumference, which is a measure of abdominal fat distribution and not a direct indicator of overall weight status.
Choice B with a BMI of 24 falls within the normal weight range.
Therefore, choice D is the only one that aligns with the criteria for overweight classification based on BMI.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who reports insomnia about promoting rest and sleep. Which of the following statements should the nurse identify as an indication that the client understands the instructions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Having a glass of wine before bedtime can disrupt sleep patterns and worsen insomnia.
Therefore, by stating that they will no longer have wine before bedtime, the client demonstrates an understanding of promoting rest and sleep.
Choice A suggests consuming caffeine, which can interfere with sleep.
Choice C involves vigorous exercise close to bedtime, which may be stimulating.
Choice D implies relaxation techniques in the afternoon, not before bedtime.
Question 3 of 5
A charge nurse is observing a newly-licensed nurse insert an indwelling urinary catheter for a male client. Which of the following actions by the newly-licensed nurse requires intervention by the charge nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Securing the tubing to the client's upper thigh requires intervention by the charge nurse. This action can lead to tension on the catheter, causing discomfort and potential damage to the urethra or bladder. The correct way to secure the tubing is by using a catheter strap or tape to gently secure it to the client's thigh or abdomen.
Choice A is correct as lubricating the first 2.5 to 5 cm of the catheter helps with smooth insertion.
Choice B is correct as donning sterile gloves before cleaning the meatus maintains aseptic technique.
Choice D is correct as gently pulling on the catheter to check for resistance ensures proper placement of the catheter.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting a client during ambulation when the client begins to fall. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action is to lower the client to the floor (
Choice
C) to prevent injury during a fall. This is the safest option as it minimizes the risk of injury by reducing the distance of the fall. Supporting the client's arm (
Choice
A) may not be enough to prevent a fall. Assuming a narrow base of support (
Choice
B) would not provide stability during a fall. Leaning the client toward the wall (
Choice
D) could actually increase the risk of injury if the client falls in that direction. Lowering the client to the floor allows for a controlled descent and minimizes the impact of the fall.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The pharmacy is delayed in supplying the client's next container of TPN. Which of the following fluids should the nurse infuse until the next container arrives?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Dextrose 5% in water. This is the most appropriate fluid to infuse because it provides some calories and helps prevent hypoglycemia in a client receiving TPN. Lactated Ringer's solution (
A) does not provide adequate nutrition. Dextrose 10% in water (
B) may be too concentrated and increase the risk of hyperglycemia. 0.9% sodium chloride (
D) is a simple fluid and does not provide any nutrients.
