ATI NUR 112 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client is receiving miotics for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma. The nurse determines that a priority nursing problem is the risk for injury. This nursing problem is based on which etiology?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Miotics cause pupil constriction, reducing night vision and increasing injury risk. Photophobia, tearing, and color perception are less impactful.
Question 2 of 5
A client with multiple sclerosis starts a new prescription, baclofen, to control muscle spasticity. Three days later, the client calls the clinic nurse and reports feeling fatigued and dizzy. Which instruction should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Baclofen’s common side effects include dizziness and fatigue, so avoiding hazardous activities ensures safety. Stopping abruptly, diet changes, or ER visits are inappropriate.
Question 3 of 5
A client who is receiving pregabalin for fibromyalgia complains of tremors in the hands. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tremors are a side effect of pregabalin, requiring provider notification for dose adjustment. Antianxiety drugs, blood pressure, or glucose levels are unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
A client with a cold is taking the antitussive medication benzonatate. Which assessment information indicates to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Benzonatate suppresses cough, so no coughing spells indicate efficacy. Sleep, secretions, and nasal discharge are not primary targets.
Question 5 of 5
A female client who is starting a new prescription for doxycycline hyclate tells the nurse that she takes birth control pills. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Doxycycline reduces contraceptive efficacy, requiring additional contraception. No contraindication exists, timing separation is irrelevant, and stopping pills is unnecessary.
