ATI NUR 112 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client who has been taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is experiencing gastric pain and blood in his stool. The healthcare provider discontinues the NSAIDs and prescribes esomeprazole. Which information should the nurse include in this client’s teaching plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Black stools may indicate GI bleeding, a serious concern requiring immediate provider notification. Bland diets, minor side effects, and NSAID resumption are less critical.
Question 2 of 5
When administering zolpidem to an older client, which computer documentation indicates that the desired outcome has been achieved?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Zolpidem treats insomnia, so sleeping soundly is the desired outcome. It doesn’t directly affect incontinence, concentration, or emotions.
Question 3 of 5
A female client with osteoporosis has been taking a weekly dose of oral risedronate for several weeks. The client calls the clinic nurse to report increasing heartburn. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Heartburn suggests improper risedronate administration (e.g., not staying upright). Assessing technique corrects issues. Antacids, water reminders, or ER visits are less appropriate.
Question 4 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 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.
