ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports that she has insomnia. Which of the following interventions is appropriate for the nurse to recommend?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A light carbohydrate snack promotes sleep by increasing tryptophan levels. Napping can disrupt nighttime sleep, exercise close to bedtime increases alertness, and cocoa contains caffeine, which can worsen insomnia.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports a pain level of 5 on a scale from 0 to 10. The client informs the nurse that pain medications are not an option for managing pain. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dismissing the client’s preference is inappropriate. Herbal remedies require provider approval. Offering a back massage is a non-pharmacological intervention that respects the client’s wishes. Questioning the client’s reasoning may seem confrontational.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about managing constipation. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Drinking 2–3 L of fluid daily promotes bowel regularity. Increasing fiber, not decreasing, helps. Laxatives should be used sparingly, and physical activity stimulates bowel motility.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is immunocompromised. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hand hygiene with alcohol-based rub before contact reduces infection risk in immunocompromised clients. Semiprivate rooms increase exposure, masks may not be sufficient, and sterile gloves are unnecessary for routine perineal care.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a controlled substance to a client for pain management. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Discrepancies should be reported before administration. Wasted controlled substances should be disposed of per facility policy, not in a sharps container. The count should be verified before removing the dose. Asking a second nurse to witness and sign for wasted portions ensures accountability and compliance with regulations.
