ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is conducting the Weber's test on a client. Which of the following is an appropriate action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Weber’s test uses a tuning fork on the forehead to assess hearing symmetry. High-pitched sounds, mastoid placement, or whispering are for other tests.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who received an IM antibiotic injection 15 min ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication of a possible anaphylactic reaction to the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A sharp drop in blood pressure is a hallmark of anaphylaxis, indicating systemic vasodilation and shock. Swelling in feet is less specific. Injection site pain is local, not systemic. Decreased heart rate isn’t typical; tachycardia is more common.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is performing an eye assessment for a newly admitted client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Outward-curling eyelashes are normal. A blink rate of 30–35 is high. Pupils of 8–9 mm suggest dilation, not normal. Opaque corneas indicate pathology.
Question 4 of 5
A newly licensed nurse has forgotten their password and asks another nurse to access the computer system for them so they can document care before transferring the client to another unit. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Involving the supervisor may not be necessary when password recovery options exist. Having another nurse document risks accountability issues. Providing contact information for password recovery is appropriate and maintains security. Sharing passwords violates policy and compromises security.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who requires airborne precautions. The nurse is preparing to leave the client's room following a dressing change. Which of the following pieces of personal protective equipment should the nurse remove first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Gloves are the most contaminated and removed first per CDC guidelines to prevent self-contamination. Gown, eyewear, and mask follow in that order.
