ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A newly licensed nurse has forgotten their password and asks another nurse to access the computer system for them so they can document care before transferring the client to another unit. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct response is C: "I can give you the contact information for someone to assist you with recovering your password." This is the best option because it promotes confidentiality and adheres to ethical standards. It avoids sharing personal login information, which can breach security protocols and potentially result in disciplinary actions. By providing contact information for password recovery assistance, the nurse is directing the colleague towards the appropriate channels for resolving the issue. This approach upholds professionalism and accountability.
Other
Choices:
A: Seeing the supervisor for a temporary password may not be the most efficient or secure method for resolving a forgotten password issue.
B: Providing client information to the charge nurse for documentation is inappropriate and could compromise patient privacy.
D: Allowing another nurse to use one's own password is a violation of security policies and sets a risky precedent for future incidents.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching about safety considerations to an older adult client who lives at home. The client has heart failure and a new prescription for hydrochlorothiazide. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will leave a light on in my bathroom at night." This statement indicates an understanding of safety considerations for an older adult with heart failure taking hydrochlorothiazide. Leaving a light on in the bathroom at night can prevent falls, as older adults are at higher risk due to medication side effects like dizziness from hydrochlorothiazide. Option A is incorrect as regular weight monitoring is crucial for heart failure but should be done more frequently than once weekly. Option B is incorrect as hydrochlorothiazide is typically taken in the morning to avoid frequent urination at night. Option D is incorrect as taking a hot bath before bed can cause dehydration and affect blood pressure, which is not recommended for someone with heart failure.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to reposition a client who has a lower back injury. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Roll the client as one unit in a smooth, continuous motion. This is the correct action because repositioning the client as one unit minimizes strain on the lower back area, reducing the risk of further injury. Rolling the client smoothly and continuously ensures a controlled movement, preventing sudden jerks or jolts that could exacerbate the injury.
B: Flex the client's knees - While flexing the client's knees can provide some support, it does not address the primary concern of repositioning the client as one unit to prevent strain on the lower back.
C: Place the client's arms at their sides - The position of the client's arms is not directly related to repositioning a client with a lower back injury.
D: Place the client on the side of the bed nearest the direction they will be turned - This action does not address the proper technique of repositioning the client as one unit to protect the lower back.
Overall, choice A

Question 5 of 5
A nurse is performing an eye assessment for a newly admitted client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Eyelashes that curl slightly outward. This finding is expected during an eye assessment as it indicates normal eyelash orientation. The eyelashes help protect the eyes from foreign objects.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. B is incorrect as the normal blink rate is 15 to 20 times per minute, not 30 to 35. C is incorrect because normal pupil size is 2 to 4 mm in diameter, not 8 to 9 mm. D is incorrect as corneas should be clear, not opaque.
