ATI Fundamentals LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following nursing intervention is appropriate when an IV infusion infiltrates?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: IV infiltration (fluid in tissues) requires discontinuing the infusion to stop further leakage, preventing swelling or tissue damage. Elevation reduces edema post-removal, flushing worsens infiltration, and warm compresses aid absorption later. Nurses prioritize stopping the source, then assess for complications like phlebitis, ensuring patient comfort and vein integrity.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse identifies ways he/she can improve performance. He/she reflects on his nursing experiences. This is an example of the core critical thinking skill:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Self-regulation in critical thinking involves monitoring and improving one's performance through reflection on experiences, identifying strengths and weaknesses. A nurse reflecting on past care to enhance future practice exemplifies this e.g., adjusting communication after a patient misunderstanding. Analysis breaks down data (e.g., lab results), not necessarily reflecting on personal performance. Inference draws conclusions from evidence (e.g., diagnosing from symptoms), not self-improvement. Explanation justifies actions (e.g., why a drug was given), not introspective growth. Self-regulation's focus on self-assessment and correction aligns with the nurse's reflective process, fostering continuous professional development, a vital skill in nursing for adapting to challenges and ensuring high-quality, patient-centered care over time.
Question 3 of 5
Nursing identifies its domain in a paradigm that includes:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nursing's paradigm comprises person (client), health (well-being goal), environment/situation (context), and nursing (practice) a metaparadigm unifying theories like Nightingale's or Watson's. This defines nursing's scope, focusing on client care holistically. Concepts, theory, health, and environment are abstract, not a complete paradigm missing 'person' and 'nursing.' Health, person, environment, and theory swap 'nursing' for 'theory,' confusing framework with product. Nurses, physicians, models, and needs mix roles and tools, not core concepts. The person, health, environment, and nursing quartet encapsulates nursing's domain, guiding practice and research comprehensively.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to take vital signs in an alert client admitted with dehydration secondary to vomiting and diarrhea. What is the best method to assess the client's temperature?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Axillary is safest and most accessible for a dehydrated client with GI issues, avoiding oral route due to vomiting and diarrhea.
