ATI RN Custom Exams Set 1 Questions

Question 1 of 5

After undergoing a pericardiocentesis, which interventions should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Following a pericardiocentesis, it is crucial for the nurse to monitor vital signs regularly, evaluate cardiac rhythm, and record the amount of fluid removed as output to detect any complications promptly. These interventions help in ensuring the client's safety and detecting any potential issues early. Therefore, selecting 'All of the above' (Choice D) is the correct answer as it encompasses all the essential interventions required post-pericardiocentesis. Choices A, B, and C are necessary actions to provide comprehensive care and monitor the client effectively.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following is NOT one of the three basic areas of concern into which practical nurse management responsibilities can be categorized?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Managing patients' legal affairs.' Practical nurse management responsibilities are typically categorized into managing work center operations, managing personnel, and overseeing patient care. Legal affairs management is not a standard responsibility for practical nurse management. Choice B is incorrect as it introduces information about the hypothalamus, which is unrelated to the question. Choice C and D are both common areas of concern in practical nurse management, involving the operations of the work center and managing personnel, respectively.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following is a potential side effect associated with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stomach irritation and bleeding. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause stomach irritation and bleeding due to their effects on gastric mucosa. Stomatitis and esophagitis (Choice B) are not typically associated with NSAID use. While NSAIDs may affect renal function, leading to fluid retention and edema, they do not directly cause increased potassium excretion (Choice D). Impaired folate absorption (Choice C) is not a common side effect of NSAIDs.

Question 4 of 5

The nurse is caring for a client whose religious background is Seventh Day Adventist (Church of GOD). Which nursing action(s) are most appropriate in terms of providing for the dietary needs of this client? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Seventh Day Adventists typically avoid caffeine and pork, so providing snacks between meals and removing coffee from the breakfast tray are appropriate actions to meet the dietary needs of this client. Providing snacks helps ensure the client has options that align with their dietary restrictions, while removing coffee respects their avoidance of caffeine. Ensuring that there is no pork on the dinner tray is also crucial as pork is typically avoided in their diet, making choice C correct. Therefore, choices A and B are correct, making D the most appropriate selection.

Question 5 of 5

The hypertonicity of the muscles in an infant with cerebral palsy causes scissoring of the legs. The nurse teaches the mother that the preferred way to carry the infant is in a sitting position:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct way to carry an infant with cerebral palsy experiencing muscle hypertonicity and scissoring of the legs is astride one of the mother's hips. This position helps keep the infant's legs apart, reducing muscle tightness. Strapping the infant in an infant seat, wrapping tightly in a blanket, or using the football hold under the arm does not address the specific needs related to muscle hypertonicity and scissoring of the legs in cerebral palsy.
