ATI 110 Fundamentals Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has an oral temperature of 39 C (102.27 F). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fever increases metabolic demand, causing tachycardia (108/min). Peripheral pulses increase, respiratory rate rises (not 10/min), and pupils are unaffected.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is taking care of a patient that has a new prescription for labetalol (beta blocker). What adverse effect should the nurse include in the medication education?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Labetalol, a beta blocker, can cause bradycardia by slowing heart rate. Hypokalemia, bleeding, and seizures are not typical adverse effects.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has had partial removal of the parathyroid gland. The client reports numbness and tingling of the hands and fingers. Which lab value would the nurse expect to see?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Partial parathyroidectomy reduces PTH, causing hypocalcemia (7.5 mg/dL), leading to numbness and tingling. Chloride and potassium are unrelated, and high calcium is not expected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is documenting client care including only unexpected findings related to the client's condition. Which of the following documentation methods is the nurse utilizing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Charting by exception (CBE) documents only abnormal findings, assuming normalcy otherwise. SOAP, DAR, and POMR include both normal and abnormal data.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a wound that is healing by primary intention. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Primary intention involves sutured wound edges for faster healing. Granulation is secondary intention, healing is quick, and contamination risks infection.
