ATI Custom T1 PM Summer 2023 Exam 5 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with teaching a newly licensed nurse about pain. Which of the following is an example of acute pain?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Surgical incision. Acute pain is sudden and usually short-term, resulting from tissue damage or injury like a surgical incision. It has a clear onset and identifiable cause. Fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, and rheumatoid arthritis are chronic pain conditions characterized by long-lasting pain without a clear cause or sudden onset.
Therefore, they do not fit the definition of acute pain.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer cefotaxime 100 mg IM to a client. How many grams (g) should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.1 g. Cefotaxime is typically dosed in milligrams (mg), not grams (g).
To convert mg to g, divide the dose by 1000 since 1 g = 1000 mg.
Therefore, 100 mg of cefotaxime is equal to 0.1 g.
Choice A (10 g) is way too high and would be toxic.
Choice B (100 g) is even higher and would be extremely dangerous.
Choice D and the subsequent choices are not provided, so they are not applicable.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is discussing potential barriers to effective communication with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following barriers should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A,C,D
Rationale: The correct answer is A, C, and D. Noise from nearby monitoring equipment can hinder effective communication by making it difficult to hear and understand. Cultural differences may lead to misunderstandings, affecting communication. Using medical terminology with clients who may not understand can create barriers. Adequate lighting (
B) and facing the client (E) are important for communication but are not listed as potential barriers in this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse calculates a client's fluid intake over the past 8 hours. The client had one 4-oz cup of coffee, 3 oz of juice, and 12 oz of soda. How many mL should the nurse document as the client's total intake for the shift?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 570 mL.
To calculate the total intake, convert the volume of each drink to mL: 4 oz = 120 mL, 3 oz = 90 mL, 12 oz = 360 mL. Add these together: 120 + 90 + 360 = 570 mL. This is the total fluid intake for the client over the past 8 hours.
Choice A (120 mL) is incorrect as it only accounts for the coffee.
Choice B (90 mL) is incorrect as it only accounts for the juice.
Choice D (360 mL) is incorrect as it only accounts for the soda.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an oxygen saturation of 88%. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Encourage the client to take deep breaths. This action will help improve oxygenation by increasing lung ventilation and oxygen exchange. Deep breathing helps to expand the lungs fully, allowing more oxygen to enter the bloodstream. Decreasing the head of the bed (
A) is typically done for clients with respiratory distress to improve oxygenation. Asking the client to cough (
B) every 4 hours may help with airway clearance but does not directly address oxygen saturation. Requesting an opioid analgesic (
D) is not indicated for improving oxygen saturation and may potentially depress the respiratory drive, worsening the situation.
