ATI NUR 112 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A client with cystitis receives a prescription for phenazopyridine. Which information should the nurse explain to the client about its therapeutic effect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Phenazopyridine numbs the urinary tract, relieving pain from cystitis. It’s not an antibiotic, antispasmodic, or tied to post-intercourse use.
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
Furosemide is prescribed for a client with a history of heart failure (HF). Which foods should the nurse encourage this client to eat?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Furosemide causes potassium loss, so potassium-rich foods like bananas, oranges, and peaches prevent hypokalemia. Other foods lack sufficient potassium.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
Before administering a laxative to a bedfast client, it is most important for the nurse to perform which assessment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Bowel movement frequency and consistency guide laxative need and dosing, preventing complications. Mobility, skin, and urge recognition are secondary.
