ATI Medical Surgical 2 Final 2024 Assessment Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for several clients at a community clinic. Which of the following clients is most at risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A 40-year-old client with hypoglycemia is at higher risk for type 2 diabetes, as hypoglycemia can indicate insulin resistance or pre-diabetes, especially with age-related risk factors. Autoimmune disorders are linked to type 1 diabetes, lack of sleep is a weaker predictor, and never giving birth is not a risk factor.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a clinic is assessing a client who has AIDS and a significantly decreased CD4+ T-cell count. The nurse should recognize that the client is at risk for developing which of the following infectious oral conditions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection in HIV/AIDS patients with low CD4+ T-cell counts, causing oral thrush.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has a rotator cuff injury. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Difficulty with abduction of the arm at the shoulder is a common finding in clients with a rotator cuff injury. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and facilitate its movement. When these muscles or tendons are injured, movements such as lifting the arm away from the body (abduction) can become painful and difficult.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is 2 hours postoperative following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The client is receiving continuous bladder irrigation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: It is common for clients to feel a constant urge to void due to bladder irritation from the catheter and continuous bladder irrigation. Reminding the client that this is normal can alleviate anxiety.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Administering antibiotics is a primary intervention for acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) when caused by a bacterial infection, such as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Antibiotics help eliminate the infection and prevent further glomerular damage. Fluid intake may need restriction due to oliguria or edema, frequent ambulation is not a priority, and daily weight measurements are preferred over weekly for monitoring fluid status.
