ATI 110 Fundamentals Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client is to receive enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneously. Available is enoxaparin 40 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 0.8
Rationale: Calculation: 30 mg / 40 mg/mL = 0.75 mL, rounded to 0.8 mL.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is obtaining an oxygen saturation on a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A finger with <2 sec capillary refill ensures good perfusion for accurate pulse oximetry. Waiting 10 sec is unnecessary, BP cuffs interfere, and relocating every 8 hrs isn’t routine.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 30 mg IV bolus stat. Available is furosemide injection 10 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Calculation: 30 mg / 10 mg/mL = 3 mL.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is on bedrest and is experiencing constipation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increasing fluid intake softens stool and promotes bowel movements, especially for bedridden clients. Low-fiber diets worsen constipation, mineral oil is not first-line, and fluid temperature is irrelevant.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a Penrose drain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A perforated gauze pad absorbs drainage from a Penrose drain, maintaining a clean site. Cleaning outward, not inward, prevents infection; Penrose drains lack reservoirs or suction.
