ATI LPN Fundamentals exam VI Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data on a client who has circulatory overload. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Tachycardia compensates for increased fluid volume in circulatory overload, unlike diaphoresis, hypotension, or weight loss.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer heparin subcutaneously to an obese client who has a deep vein thrombosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A 90° angle suits obese clients' thicker subcutaneous tissue, unlike a larger gauge needle, massaging (risks bruising), or aspirating (unnecessary).
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing an injection using a single dose glass ampule. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using a filter needle prevents glass particles from being drawn into the syringe, unlike shaking the ampule, using sterile gloves unnecessarily, or snapping the top towards hands which risks injury.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse is observing a nurse performing a Mantoux tuberculin skin test for a client. Which of the following actions should prompt the charge nurse to intervene?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Massaging after injection disperses PPD, affecting test accuracy, unlike the correct bleb size, avoiding needle tip visualization, and stretching skin which are proper techniques.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a subcutaneous injection to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cleansing with a circular motion reduces infection risk, unlike sterile gloves (unnecessary), specific hand use, or a 15° angle (too shallow).
