ATI 110 Fundamentals Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose partner died 3 years ago and reports that they are still unable to accept the loss. The nurse should identify that the client has manifestations of which of the following types of grief?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Inability to accept loss after 3 years indicates prolonged grief, persisting beyond normal grieving. Uncomplicated resolves sooner, anticipatory is pre-loss, and disenfranchised is unsupported.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has an oral temperature of 39 C (102.27 F). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fever increases metabolic demand, causing tachycardia (108/min). Peripheral pulses increase, respiratory rate rises (not 10/min), and pupils are unaffected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has circulatory overload. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Circulatory overload increases cardiac workload, causing tachycardia. Diaphoresis is unrelated, weight gain (not loss) occurs, and hypertension (not hypotension) is typical.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for four clients who have drainage tubes. Which of the following clients should the nurse recognize as being at risk for hypokalemia?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: NG suction removes potassium-rich gastric fluids, risking hypokalemia. Chest tubes, urinary catheters, and tracheostomies don’t directly cause potassium loss.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose partner has recently died. The client states, 'I am learning how to pay my own bills.' The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following tasks in Worden’s Four Tasks of Grieving?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Learning to pay bills reflects adjusting to life without the deceased, a Worden task. Other tasks involve emotional processing or maintaining connection.
