ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has left lower-lobe atelectasis. In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client for postural drainage?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Right lateral Trendelenburg positions the left lower lobe uppermost, facilitating drainage. Other positions don’t target the affected area effectively.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching an older adult client about reducing the risk for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Avoiding sun reduces vitamin D. Decreasing dairy lowers calcium. Walking three times weekly is weight-bearing and promotes bone health. 250 mg calcium is insufficient for prevention.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client how to self-administer daily low-dose heparin injections. Which of the following factors is most likely to increase the client's motivation to learn?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: While it's important for the nurse to explain the need for education, the client's belief in personal benefits is more motivating. The belief that their needs will be met through education fosters motivation. Empathy from the nurse can enhance the learning experience but might not solely motivate the client. Seeking family approval is an external motivator, but personal belief in the benefits of education is more intrinsic.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to teach a female client about osteoporosis prevention. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maintaining lean body mass is beneficial but not specific to osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercises like walking help maintain bone density. Vitamin B12 isn’t linked to osteoporosis prevention. Water aerobics are less effective than weight-bearing exercises for bone health.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who is at risk for falls to a medical-surgical unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Elevating full-length side rails on both sides of the client's bed is not recommended, as it can increase the risk of injury if the client tries to climb over them or gets trapped between them. Placing the bedside table 0.9 m away is unrelated to fall prevention. A night light can help the client see better in the dark and avoid tripping or falling over objects. Maintaining the room temperature is important for comfort but doesn't directly prevent falls.
