ATI Custom Fundamentals Final Exam Fall 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who speaks a different language than the nurse. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. The nurse should telephone the interpreter designated for the facility to ensure accurate communication. This is essential to maintain confidentiality, accuracy, and professionalism. Using an official interpreter helps avoid misunderstandings, ensures cultural sensitivity, and maintains ethical standards.
Choice B is incorrect as it may lead to misinterpretations.
Choice C is inappropriate as the partner may not provide accurate translations.
Choice D, an electronic translating service, lacks the human touch and may not convey nuances accurately.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a heart rate of 56/min. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Report of dizziness. A heart rate of 56/min is bradycardia, which can lead to decreased blood flow and potentially cause dizziness due to reduced oxygen delivery to the brain. A: High temperature is not directly related to heart rate. B: History of smoking may be a risk factor for heart issues but does not directly correlate with the heart rate in this case. D: Hypoglycemia may cause tachycardia, not bradycardia.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer cefadroxil oral suspension 15 mg/kg PO to a client who weighs 98 lb. Available is cefadroxil 250 mg/5 mL. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Convert the client's weight to kilograms. This is the first step because the dose of cefadroxil is calculated based on the client's weight in kilograms.
To convert 98 lb to kg, divide the weight in pounds by 2.2 (1 kg = 2.2 lb).
Therefore, 98 lb ÷ 2.2 = 44.54 kg. Once the weight is converted to kilograms, the nurse can then calculate the dosage in milligrams (choice
B) by multiplying the weight in kg by 15 mg. The nurse would then calculate the dosage in milliliters (choice
C) by using the concentration of the medication (250 mg/5 mL). Rounding the amount to be administered to the nearest whole number (choice
A) would be the final step before administering the medication.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing an in-service about communication for a group of staff nurses. Which of the following information should the nurse include when discussing the electronic mode of communication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Option B is correct because electronic communication includes video conference calls with clients. This form of communication allows for visual and auditory interaction, enhancing engagement and understanding between healthcare providers and clients.
Summary of Other
Choices:
A: Incorrect. Providers should not send prescriptions on unencrypted devices due to privacy and security concerns.
C: Incorrect. Electronic communication carries a risk of privacy violations if not properly secured and encrypted.
D: Incorrect. Social media is a form of electronic communication, but may not always be appropriate for professional healthcare interactions.
Question 5 of 5
A newly licensed nurse is applying for their first job and wants guidance on pay. Which of the following professional standards should the nurse review?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice. The nurse should review this professional standard because it outlines the expectations and responsibilities of nurses in their practice. It provides guidance on the level of care and professionalism expected, helping the nurse understand their role and scope of practice. The other choices are incorrect because:
A: The Code of Ethics for Nurses focuses on ethical principles and values guiding nursing practice, not specifically on pay guidance.
C: American Nurses Association Position Statements are statements on current issues and topics in nursing, not specific to pay guidance.
D: Principles of Nursing Practice may provide general principles of nursing care but do not specifically address pay guidance.
