ATI Msn De5320 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is planning a room assignment for a client who has a productive cough, a questionable chest x-ray, and a positive Mantoux test. Room 208 is a private, negative-pressure airflow room; room 212 is a semi-private, positive-pressure airflow room; 214 is a negative-pressure, semi-private room; and room 216 is a private, positive-pressure airflow room. To which of the following rooms should the nurse assign the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A private, negative-pressure room (208) is ideal for suspected tuberculosis, preventing airborne pathogen spread. Semi-private rooms (214, 212) risk infecting others, and positive-pressure rooms (212, 216) are unsuitable for airborne infections.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports experiencing flashbacks of a traumatic event that occurred a year ago. The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following stress-related disorders?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: PTSD causes long-term flashbacks post-trauma, matching a year-long duration. ASD is short-term, episodic acute stress isn’t a diagnosis, and IBS is unrelated to psychological trauma.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing a teaching plan for a client who has diabetes mellitus. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Assessing readiness to learn ensures the teaching plan matches the client’s mental state and comprehension, optimizing education. Providing materials, demonstrating skills, or setting goals assumes readiness.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to transfer a client who has left-sided weakness from a sitting position in bed to a chair. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Locking bed wheels ensures stability during transfer, enhancing safety. A 90° chair angle complicates movement, the chair should be on the strong side, and raising the bed excessively risks unsafe positioning.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a client that has been having pain without a clear etiology. Which nursing diagnosis should the nurse write as most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ‘Acute pain related to unknown etiology’ accurately reflects the pain’s unclear cause, guiding further assessment. Option A lacks etiology, B assumes a psychosomatic cause without evidence, and D is less precise than ‘etiology.’
