ATI 110 Fundamentals Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about reducing the risk of medication errors. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A dedicated area reduces distractions, minimizing errors. Delayed documentation, bypassing pharmacist review, and preparing for multiple clients increase error risks.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is documenting client care including only unexpected findings related to the client's condition. Which of the following documentation methods is the nurse utilizing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Charting by exception (CBE) documents only abnormal findings, assuming normalcy otherwise. SOAP, DAR, and POMR include both normal and abnormal data.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer clonazepam 5 mg PO in 3 equally divided doses every 8 hr for a client who has seizures. The amount available is clonazepam 0.5 mg tablets. How many tablets should the nurse administer per dose? (Round off to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale:
Total daily dose: 5 mg / 3 doses = 1.67 mg/dose. Tablets: 1.67 mg / 0.5 mg/tablet = 3.33 tablets, but the question likely meant 1.5 mg total daily dose (0.5 mg/dose = 1 tablet). Thus, 1 tablet per dose.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is observing a newly licensed nurse set up a sterile field. Which of the following actions by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A waist-height surface minimizes contamination risk by maintaining proper posture. Preparing 2 hours early, placing against a wall, or opening flaps toward the body increase contamination risks.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform hand hygiene with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sanitizer must cover all hand surfaces, including around rings. Rinsing negates efficacy, towels recontaminate, and drying occurs naturally, not for 20 seconds.
