ATI Med Surg 1 Quiz Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is scheduling an older client for a surgical clearance appointment. Which intervention is best to reduce the risk of drug interactions for the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reviewing all current medications and supplements allows the healthcare team to identify potential drug interactions and adjust treatment. While a medication schedule is helpful, it does not address the risk of interactions during pre-surgical planning. Instructing the client to avoid OTC medications is overly broad and may lead to unnecessary medication omission. Filling prescriptions locally does not address the risk of interactions directly.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who reports experiencing oral itching and swelling after consuming bananas and kiwis. Which allergy should the nurse suspect the client is at risk for?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A latex allergy is associated with cross-reactivity to certain foods, including bananas and kiwis, due to similar proteins. Shellfish, contrast dye, and iodine allergies are not commonly linked to these fruits.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about anesthesia. The nurse should include that an epidural is an example of which of the following types of anesthesia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: General anesthesia involves the loss of consciousness and is not related to epidurals. Local anesthesia numbs a small, localized area and is not comparable to epidurals. Moderate sedation provides sedation without loss of consciousness, unrelated to epidural function. Epidural anesthesia is a form of regional anesthesia that blocks sensation in a specific region of the body.
Question 4 of 5
A client is brought to post anesthesia care unit (PACU) after an invasive procedure. Based on the two sets of vital signs in the chart tab, which action is most appropriate by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The changes in vital signs are within expected ranges post-procedure, so continued monitoring is appropriate. A temperature increase to 99°F is not significant and does not require immediate reporting. No signs of hypovolemia or dehydration warrant increasing IV fluids. A blood pressure decrease to 112/72 mm Hg is minimal and not concerning.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer lidocaine 50 mg IV bolus. Available is lidocaine 200 mg/mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Volume = dose/concentration = 50/200 = 0.25 mL = 0.3 mL (rounded to the nearest tenth).
