ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is scheduled for an intravenous pyelogram. Which of the following actions is appropriate for the nurse to include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Oral contrast is not typically used for an intravenous pyelogram. Pain in the suprapubic region is not a common side effect of an intravenous pyelogram. The nurse should assist the client with a bowel cleansing before an intravenous pyelogram to ensure clear images. Removing metal objects is important for MRI, not an intravenous pyelogram.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with pneumonia. Which of the following interventions should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Encouraging fluid intake helps thin respiratory secretions and prevents dehydration in pneumonia. Antipyretics are used for fever but are not the priority. Prone positioning is not standard for pneumonia. Oxygen therapy may be needed, not limited.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a seizure disorder. Which of the following actions should the nurse take during a seizure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Turning the client to the side during a seizure maintains airway patency and prevents aspiration. Restraining limbs can cause injury, tongue depressors are dangerous, and oral medications cannot be given during a seizure.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning to provide discharge instructions to a client who does not speak the same language as the nurse. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Assistive personnel may not be trained or qualified to provide medical interpretation. Family members may not have the necessary medical knowledge to accurately translate medical information. The nurse should arrange for a video conference with an interpreter who speaks the client's language to provide discharge instructions. This ensures that the client receives accurate and complete information in a language they understand. Simply indicating printed instructions may not ensure understanding.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client with suspected hypoglycemia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diaphoresis is a common sign of hypoglycemia due to the body’s stress response. Tachycardia, not bradycardia, is typical. Fever is unrelated, and skin is often moist, not dry.
