ATI N103N103 Fundamentals Final Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is confused and uncooperative. The client hit the nurse when they attempted to give them their medication. The nurse asks the charge nurse if she can apply restraints on the client. The charge nurse should explain to the nurse this action is a violation of the client’s rights and is an example of which tort?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Applying restraints without justification constitutes false imprisonment violating client rights. Defamation (
A) invasion of privacy (
B) and slander (
C) are unrelated to unauthorized restraint use.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client at risk for fluid volume overload with an order to infuse 1 unit of blood. The health care provider specified the rate of infusion must be 8 hours to prevent the effects of fluid volume overload in this client. Which intervention should the nurse implement for this client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Blood transfusions must be completed within 4 hours to prevent bacterial growth and complications per AABB/CDC guidelines. An 8-hour infusion (A
D) is unsafe and splitting the unit (
B) is not standard without specific protocols. Questioning the order (
C) ensures patient safety.
Question 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
A client has an injury to the left ankle requiring partial weight bearing. The client is elderly with a history of balance deficit. Which assistive device would be most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Adjusting pain medication dosage for age is critical for elderly clients to prevent overmedication, supporting safe mobility with a balance deficit. The other options are unrelated to assistive devices or inappropriate for PCA use.
