ATI Medical Surgical 2 Final 2024 Assessment Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has acute glomerulonephritis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Administering antibiotics is a primary intervention for acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) when caused by a bacterial infection, such as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Antibiotics help eliminate the infection and prevent further glomerular damage. Fluid intake may need restriction due to oliguria or edema, frequent ambulation is not a priority, and daily weight measurements are preferred over weekly for monitoring fluid status.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse has received a report on a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A client with a stroke reporting severe headache and confusion may have increased intracranial pressure or hemorrhage, requiring immediate assessment.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory data of a client following a hemodialysis treatment. The nurse should expect to find a decrease in which of the following laboratory values?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hemodialysis removes excess potassium, which is critical in renal failure to prevent cardiac complications. RBC count, calcium, and protein levels are not primarily targeted by dialysis.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has fibromyalgia about self-care strategies for managing the disorder. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A regular sleep pattern improves sleep quality, reducing fibromyalgia symptoms. Avoiding exercise during flare-ups may help, but gentle exercises are preferred. Jogging/running may be too intense, and calcium intake is not linked to fibromyalgia management.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is 2 hours postoperative following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The client is receiving continuous bladder irrigation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: It is common for clients to feel a constant urge to void due to bladder irritation from the catheter and continuous bladder irrigation. Reminding the client that this is normal can alleviate anxiety.
