ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 I Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who had a stroke and coughs frequently when swallowing. The nurse should identify that which of following members of the interdisciplinary team?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A speech-language pathologist assesses and treats dysphagia, common post-stroke, to prevent aspiration. OTs aid ADLs, PTs improve mobility, and social workers address psychosocial needs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a mental health clinic is caring for an older adult client who has depression and has stopped taking their medication. The client tells the nurse, 'I want to die now that my partner is gone.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Directly asking about self-harm assesses suicide risk, a priority given the client’s statement. Exploring partner loss, deferring to the provider, or focusing on medication non-adherence delays immediate safety assessment.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse manager overhears a nurse telling a client, 'I will administer your medication by injection if you don’t swallow your pills.' The nurse manager should identify that the nurse is committing which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assault is a threat causing apprehension of harm. The nurse’s statement threatens an injection, constituting assault. Defamation involves false statements, battery is physical contact, and invasion of privacy involves private affairs—none apply here.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has decreased mobility about passive range-of-motion exercises. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Repeating movements 3-5 times maintains mobility safely. Pain risks injury, quick moves lack control, and once daily is insufficient—multiple sessions are typical.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing complementary therapies approved by the provider with a client who has hypertension. Which of the following supplements should the nurse discuss with the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Garlic may modestly lower blood pressure by relaxing vessels. Peppermint oil and chamomile lack significant BP effects, while licorice root raises BP due to sodium retention.
