ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 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: C
Rationale: Cocoa’s caffeine can disrupt sleep. Exercise close to bedtime increases alertness. A light carbohydrate snack promotes serotonin and melatonin production, aiding sleep. Naps can interfere with nighttime sleep.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is prioritizing care for a client. Which of the following procedures should the nurse perform first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Catheter care, feeding, and wound irrigation are important but secondary to airway management. Endotracheal suctioning ensures a patent airway, critical for oxygenation.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires airborne precautions. The nurse is preparing to leave the client's room following a dressing change. Which of the following pieces of personal protective equipment should the nurse remove first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Gloves are the most contaminated and removed first per CDC guidelines to prevent self-contamination. Gown, eyewear, and mask follow in that order.
