LPN Fundamentals of Nursing ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
When the nurse's assigned client is being discharged to another institution or a home setting where a visit by the community health nurse is required, which of the following information is most likely to be included in the discharge and referral summaries?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Discharge summaries most likely include unresolved problems and continuing needs like wound care to ensure seamless care transition. Financial assessments, physician orders, or new plans might supplement but aren't primary. This focus aids community nurses in prioritizing interventions, a key nursing handoff element.
Question 2 of 5
In instructing a client on cholesterol, the nurse will teach which of the following things?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Most cholesterol is liver-synthesized, not diet-derived, and is needed, not destroyed intestinally. Nurses clarify this for dietary understanding.
Question 3 of 5
Which assessment finding indicates the need for assistive devices during mobilization and transfers?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A history of falls and unsteady gait signals the need for assistive devices like walkers during mobilization, highlighting instability and fall risk in transfers. Strong muscles, full joint motion, or upper body strength suggest less need, but past incidents outweigh these. Nurses assess this to tailor safety measures, ensuring devices support patients with proven mobility challenges, preventing further injuries effectively.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing oxygen therapy to a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Which oxygen delivery system would be most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A Venturi mask (B) is most appropriate for COPD, delivering precise oxygen (24-50%) to maintain SpO2 88-92%, avoiding suppression of hypoxic drive. Nasal cannula (A) lacks precision. Non-rebreather (C) risks high oxygen, reducing respiratory drive. Oxygen tent (D) is impractical. Controlled delivery aligns with GOLD standards, balancing oxygenation and CO2 retention.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a face tent. Which action by the nurse is important to ensure proper oxygen delivery?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Frequently checking for condensation (C) in a face tent ensures unobstructed oxygen flow, as buildup reduces delivery. Snug fit (A) restricts airflow in tents. Nose breathing (B) isn't required tents cover both. Q8h SpO2 (D) is too infrequent. Condensation checks, per nursing standards, maintain therapy effectiveness.
