ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a vaccine to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Verifying the vaccine expiration date ensures safety and efficacy. The vastus lateralis is typically used for infants, not adults. A 5/8-inch needle is often used for subcutaneous injections, and aspiration is not required for vaccines.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about self-catheterization. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Washing hands before self-catheterization prevents infection, indicating understanding. Catheters are typically single-use, not reused weekly. Water-soluble lubricant, not petroleum jelly, is used. The procedure is often done in a seated or semi-upright position.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer insulin to a client with diabetes mellitus. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to ensure safe administration?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Shaking the insulin vial can denature the insulin; it should be gently rolled if needed. A 25-gauge needle is appropriate, but the key safety step is verifying the insulin type and dose with another nurse to prevent medication errors. Insulin is typically administered in subcutaneous sites like the abdomen or thigh, not the deltoid muscle.
Question 5 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.
