ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to insert a peripheral IV catheter into a client's arm. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to help dilate the vein?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Dangling the arm uses gravity to increase blood flow and dilate veins. Stroking the skin, flexing the arm, or applying a cool compress does not effectively dilate veins.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about managing constipation. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Drinking 2–3 L of fluid daily promotes bowel regularity. Increasing fiber, not decreasing, helps. Laxatives should be used sparingly, and physical activity stimulates bowel motility.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a urinary tract infection. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Drinking cranberry juice may help prevent recurrent UTIs by reducing bacterial adhesion. Fluid intake should be increased to flush bacteria. Antibiotics should be taken for the full course. Sitz baths can be soothing and are not contraindicated.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer eye drops to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pulling the lower eyelid down creates a pocket for the drops, ensuring proper administration. Drops should not be instilled on the cornea, the client should look upward, and the dropper tip should remain sterile without needing alcohol wiping.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is immunocompromised. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hand hygiene with alcohol-based rub before contact reduces infection risk in immunocompromised clients. Semiprivate rooms increase exposure, masks may not be sufficient, and sterile gloves are unnecessary for routine perineal care.
