ATI NUR 112 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client with a history of smoking cigarettes for many years arrives at the clinic and expresses a desire to stop smoking. The client receives a prescription for bupropion to reduce nicotine cravings. Which information should the nurse include in the discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bupropion can cause insomnia and weight loss, which clients should monitor. Taste changes, water intake, and tyramine restrictions are not relevant.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
Based on a client’s serum digoxin level, the client is diagnosed with digoxin toxicity. Which action should the nurse expect to implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Digoxin toxicity requires checking electrolytes (e.g., hyperkalemia) and acid-base status to guide treatment. Potassium, cardioversion, or alternate routes are inappropriate.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
When preparing to apply a scheduled fentanyl transdermal patch, the nurse notes that the previously applied patch is intact on the client’s upper back and the client denies pain. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Remove the old patch and apply a new one in a different location to prevent overdose and skin irritation. Multiple patches, provider consultation, or oral analgesics are unnecessary.
