ATI PN Fundamentals of Nursing 2020 with NGN Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an opioid analgesic IM to a client. The vial contains 2 mg of medication, but the client's prescription is for 1 mg. After administering the medication, which of the following actions should the nurse take when handling the remaining medication in the vial?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Drawing and labeling the remaining dose minimizes waste and ensures safety with proper documentation. Discarding is wasteful, witnessing isn't needed here, and storing in a drawer risks errors.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an indwelling urinary catheter and a prescription for furosemide. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Recording output monitors furosemide's diuretic effect and fluid balance. Ketones, 24-hr collection, and specific gravity aren't routine here.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a closed chest tube drainage system. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the system below chest level ensures proper drainage. Looping risks fluid buildup, clamping risks pneumothorax, and milking can harm lung tissue.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting a capillary blood sample from an older adult client. After puncturing the client's finger, the nurse is unable to obtain an adequate amount of blood. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Warming the hand dilates vessels, improving blood flow. Alcohol or pressure reduce flow, and raising the hand isn't as effective.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has a hearing aid. Which of the following actions should the nurse take when the client reports hearing a whistling sound from the hearing aid?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Whistling (feedback) often results from high volume; lowering it helps. Turning off doesn't fix it, alcohol or water can damage the device.
