ATI N103N103 Fundamentals Final Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with end-stage liver cancer. Which response is an indication the client is in the denial phase of the grief process?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Denial is shown by rejecting the prognosis, believing the doctor is exaggerating. Other responses reflect anger, acceptance of symptoms, or full acceptance.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has pneumonia and a prescription for oxygen therapy at 5 L/min via nasal cannula. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Attaching a humidifier bottle prevents nasal dryness from high-flow oxygen, enhancing comfort and effectiveness. Securing tubing to the bed risks dislodgement, petroleum jelly is flammable, and removing the cannula interrupts critical oxygen delivery.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is auscultating a client's lung sounds and identifies crackles in the left lower lobe. Which intervention should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Repeating auscultation after coughing clears potential secretions, confirming if crackles are due to mucus or fluid. Fluid restriction, positioning, or antibiotics require further assessment first.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing an educational program about client confidentiality. The nurse should explain that nurses may share a client's protected health information with which individuals?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Health care team members involved in the client’s care can access protected health information under HIPAA to ensure safe treatment. Sharing with family, administrators, or clergy requires client consent or a specific need, which is not automatic.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer digoxin 1.5 mg PO to a client. The amount available is digoxin 0.5 mg tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale:
To administer 1.5 mg of digoxin using 0.5 mg tablets divide 1.5 mg by 0.5 mg/tablet = 3 tablets. The answer is a whole number requiring no rounding.
