ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 I Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has influenza and isolation precautions in place. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent the spread of infection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Wearing a mask within 3 feet prevents droplet transmission of influenza. Metronidazole treats bacteria, eyewear isn’t routine, and negative airflow is for airborne diseases like TB.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform an anthropometric assessment on a client. Which of the following client data should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Weight is a key anthropometric measure reflecting nutritional status. Orientation, respiratory rate, and pain are unrelated to body measurement.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of possible anaphylaxis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A sharp drop in blood pressure is a key anaphylaxis symptom, indicating shock. Swelling in feet, injection site pain, and decreased heart rate (late-stage) aren’t primary indicators—tachycardia is more typical early on. Note: Question seems misaligned; likely intended for osteoporosis, not anaphylaxis.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to self-administer heparin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Injecting 2 inches from the umbilicus avoids vascular areas, reducing bleeding risk. An 18-gauge needle is too large (25-27 gauge is standard), air bubbles in prefilled syringes ensure full dosing, and massaging increases bruising risk due to heparin’s anticoagulant effect.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports frequent headaches and believes balance is achieved through the concept of yin and yang. Which of the following foods should the nurse expect the client to choose to treat their headache?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), yin and yang describe balance between opposing forces. Headaches may indicate excess yang (warmth, activity). Honey, a yin-nourishing food with cooling properties, helps reduce yang energy. Fresh vegetables lack specific yin/yang ties, chicken is neutral, and chili peppers increase yang, potentially worsening the headache.
