ATI Msn De5320 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has anorexia nervosa. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: Anorexia nervosa causes lanugo (fine hair) from low body fat, cold extremities from poor circulation, and hypotension from malnutrition.
Tooth erosion is linked to bulimia, and constipation, not diarrhea, is typical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about hospice care. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hospice care is for terminally ill clients (prognosis ≤6 months), focusing on comfort. It can be provided at home, discontinued if conditions improve, and does not aim to prolong life.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about physical manifestations associated with the fight-or-flight response to stress. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dilated pupils enhance vision during fight-or-flight, driven by adrenaline. Airways dilate, blood pressure rises, and glucose increases for energy, ruling out other options.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse is planning a room assignment for a client who has a productive cough, a questionable chest x-ray, and a positive Mantoux test. Room 208 is a private, negative-pressure airflow room; room 212 is a semi-private, positive-pressure airflow room; 214 is a negative-pressure, semi-private room; and room 216 is a private, positive-pressure airflow room. To which of the following rooms should the nurse assign the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A private, negative-pressure room (208) is ideal for suspected tuberculosis, preventing airborne pathogen spread. Semi-private rooms (214, 212) risk infecting others, and positive-pressure rooms (212, 216) are unsuitable for airborne infections.
Question 5 of 5
Which nursing action would be appropriate to protect a patient during a seizure?
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E
Rationale: Padding the head, avoiding oral objects, turning to the side, and using pillows prevent injury and aspiration. Moving to bed during a seizure risks harm.
