ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a pressure ulcer. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Keeping the ulcer moist with a hydrogel dressing promotes healing. Dry gauze can adhere to the wound, hydrogen peroxide can damage tissue, and positioning on the ulcer increases pressure and delays healing.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse at a long-term care facility is providing change-of-shift report to an oncoming nurse about a client who has shingles. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the report?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Including the type of transmission-based precautions (e.g., contact precautions for shingles) is critical to prevent infection spread. Routine vital sign times, health history, and visitor numbers are less specific to shingles management.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about a low-residue diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A low-residue diet minimizes intestinal residue. White rice is low in fiber and appropriate. Whole-grain bread, broccoli, and raw carrots are high-fiber foods that should be avoided.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client with heart failure. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Peripheral edema is a common sign of heart failure due to fluid retention. Bradycardia is less common; tachycardia is more typical. Weight gain, not loss, occurs due to fluid accumulation. Lung sounds may include crackles, not clear sounds.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is performing a skin assessment on an older adult client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reduced sweat production is expected in older adults due to decreased gland activity. Skin elasticity decreases, oil production reduces, and the outer layer thins with age.
