ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has a new prescription for parenteral nutrition (PN) in 20% dextrose and fat emulsions. Which of the following is an appropriate action to include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Daily glucose checks are important but not specific to PN initiation. Bag changes vary by policy. High-dextrose PN requires a central line to prevent vein damage. Separate administration isn’t standard.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has left lower-lobe atelectasis. In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client for postural drainage?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Right lateral Trendelenburg positions the left lower lobe uppermost, facilitating drainage. Other positions don’t target the affected area effectively.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a mental health clinic is caring for an older adult client who has depression and has stopped taking their medication. The client tells the nurse, 'I want to die now that my partner is gone.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Advising to discuss with the provider doesn't address the immediate concern of potential harm. Asking about thoughts of self-harm assesses the client's immediate safety. Inquiring about medication discontinuation is important but not as urgent as addressing suicidal ideation. While understanding the relationship is important, it's not the priority when a client expresses suicidal thoughts.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse manager overhears a nurse telling a client, 'I will administer your medication by injection if you don't swallow your pills.' The nurse manager should identify that the nurse is committing which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assault is threatening harm, as here. Defamation is false reputation harm. Battery is unauthorized touching. Privacy invasion involves confidentiality breaches.
