ATI PN Fundamentals of Nursing 2020 with NGN Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge instructions with a client who is walking with crutches. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the instructions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Advancing crutches first on steps is correct. Other statements reflect unsafe practices.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is wearing sterile gloves in preparation for assisting with a client's sterile procedure. While waiting for the procedure to begin, how should the nurse position her hands?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Interlocking fingers above the waist keeps hands sterile and away from contaminants. Other positions risk touching non-sterile areas.
Question 3 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: Lowering volume stops feedback (whistling). Other actions don't address it or risk damage.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is receiving IV fluid replacement to treat diarrhea but now has oliguria. Laboratory results include a potassium level of 5.6 mEq/L. The nurse should report which of the following findings to the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Palpitations signal potential cardiac arrhythmias from hyperkalemia, needing urgent reporting. Other symptoms are less immediately critical.
