ATI NUR 112 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client who has been experiencing headaches since using the herbal remedy feverfew. Which information is important to include for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Feverfew’s allergenic potential in clients sensitive to chamomile, ragweed, or yarrow is critical to prevent severe reactions. Other effects are less urgent.
Question 2 of 5
Administer a scheduled dose of labetalol PO to a client with hypertension. The client’s temperature is 99°F (37.2°C), a heart rate of 48 beats per minute, respirations of 16 breaths per minute, and a blood pressure of 150/90 mm Hg. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Labetalol risks worsening bradycardia (HR 48 bpm), so withholding and notifying the provider is critical. Administering, assessing hypotension, or telemetry are less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
An older client with heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease (CAD), and hypertension (HTN) is receiving these daily prescriptions: atenolol, furosemide, and enalapril. Which assessments should the nurse include in evaluating the effectiveness of the medications? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: Heart sounds, blood pressure, and daily weight monitor cardiac function, fluid status, and hypertension control. Bowel sounds and range of motion are unrelated.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A client with narcolepsy receives a new prescription for methylphenidate. Prior to administration of the medication, the nurse should review the medical record for which condition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Methylphenidate can elevate blood pressure, risking complications in hypertension. Cholesterol, diabetes, and bronchitis are not primary concerns.
