ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with pneumonia. Which of the following interventions should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Encouraging fluid intake helps thin respiratory secretions and prevents dehydration in pneumonia. Antipyretics are used for fever but are not the priority. Prone positioning is not standard for pneumonia. Oxygen therapy may be needed, not limited.
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 caring for a client with a new prescription for oxygen therapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placing a ‘No Smoking’ sign prevents fire hazards, as oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen tanks should be stored upright, petroleum-based lotions are contraindicated, and open flames are dangerous.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about preventing back strain to the caregiver of a client who is immobile and requires assistance to reposition in bed. Which of the following statements by the caregiver indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Twisting at the waist can strain back muscles. Keeping legs straight increases back strain. Tightening abdominal muscles stabilizes the spine and prevents back strain, indicating understanding. Placing the bed in the lowest position is unrelated to repositioning technique.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client with suspected appendicitis. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Rebound tenderness in the right lower quadrant is a classic sign of appendicitis (e.g., Rovsing’s sign). Bowel sounds may be decreased, nausea is common, and tachycardia, not bradycardia, is typical due to pain and inflammation.
