ATI 110 Fundamentals Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is obtaining an oxygen saturation on a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A finger with <2 sec capillary refill ensures good perfusion for accurate pulse oximetry. Waiting 10 sec is unnecessary, BP cuffs interfere, and relocating every 8 hrs isn’t routine.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is on bedrest and is experiencing constipation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increasing fluid intake softens stool and promotes bowel movements, especially for bedridden clients. Low-fiber diets worsen constipation, mineral oil is not first-line, and fluid temperature is irrelevant.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse in a public clinic is planning a health fair for older adult clients in the community. In teaching medication safety, which of the following foods should the nurse advise the clients to avoid when taking their prescriptions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Grapefruit juice inhibits CYP3A4, increasing drug levels and toxicity risk. Orange juice, milk, and carbonated beverages are generally safe.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is receiving a telephone prescription for a client from a provider. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when transcribing the prescription?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reading back the prescription ensures accuracy, reducing errors. Initials, repeating without verification, and shorthand risk miscommunication.

A nurse is preparing to administer digoxin 5 mg PO to a client. The amount available is digoxin 0.5 mg/tablet. How many tablets should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 10
Rationale: Calculation: 5 mg / 0.5 mg/tablet = 10 tablets.
