ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a controlled substance to a client for pain management. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Discrepancies should be reported before administration. Wasted controlled substances should be disposed of per facility policy, not in a sharps container. The count should be verified before removing the dose. Asking a second nurse to witness and sign for wasted portions ensures accountability and compliance with regulations.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a new prescription for oxygen therapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placing a ‘No Smoking’ sign prevents fire hazards, as oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen tanks should be stored upright, petroleum-based lotions are contraindicated, and open flames are dangerous.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer several medications to a client. Which of the following data should the nurse plan to use to confirm the client's identity?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The client's room number is not a reliable method to confirm the client's identity because multiple clients may be assigned to the same room, and there is a possibility of room changes or transfers. The client's admitting diagnosis is not a suitable method to confirm identity as it does not provide specific information about the individual patient. The name of the client's next of kin is not a reliable method to confirm the client's identity as it refers to a family member or emergency contact, not the client themselves. The nurse should plan to use the client's telephone number to confirm their identity, as it is a unique identifier. Note: Typically, client identity is confirmed using two identifiers such as name and date of birth, but based on the provided options, the telephone number is the most reliable.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about preventing falls at home. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Removing loose rugs reduces tripping hazards, indicating understanding. Cluttered floors increase fall risk, socks reduce traction, and dim lighting impairs visibility.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a new colostomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse teach the client to perform to care for the stoma?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Petroleum jelly can interfere with the adhesion of the ostomy appliance. Hydrogen peroxide is too harsh and can damage the stoma tissue. Emptying the ostomy pouch when it is one-third to one-half full prevents leakage and maintains skin integrity. Changing the appliance every 12 hours is too frequent; typically, it is changed every 3–7 days.
