ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 I Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to teach a female client about osteoporosis prevention. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse make for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Walking (30 min, 3-5 times/week) is a weight-bearing exercise that boosts bone density, reducing osteoporosis risk. Water aerobics lacks sufficient impact, lean body mass may increase risk if underweight, and vitamin B12 isn’t directly linked—calcium and vitamin D are key.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has left lower-lobe atelectasis. In which of the following positions should the nurse place the client for postural drainage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Right lateral Trendelenburg elevates the left lower lobe, using gravity to drain secretions. Low-Fowler’s, right-side elevation, and prone positions don’t target this area effectively.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who is at risk for falls to a medical-surgical unit. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A night light improves visibility, reducing fall risk. A distant table limits access, full side rails risk entrapment, and 18°C isn’t a fall prevention standard.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to provide tracheostomy care for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A hook-and-loop collar secures the tracheostomy tube safely, preventing dislodgement. Cutting gauze risks loose fibers, hydrogen peroxide is too harsh, and sterile (not clean) gloves are required for inner cannula cleaning to prevent infection.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is performing an eye assessment for a newly admitted client. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Eyelashes curling outward are normal, protecting the eye. Opaque corneas, dilated pupils (8-9 mm), and excessive blinking (30-35/min vs. 15-20) are abnormal.
