ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
A nurse is planning care to prevent skin breakdown for a client who is immobile and has urinary incontinence. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Indwelling catheters increase infection risk. An alternating pressure mattress redistributes pressure to prevent ulcers, making it appropriate. Cornstarch can promote fungal infections. Repositioning every 2 hours, not 4, is standard.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing client confidentiality with a newly licensed nurse. The nurse should identify which of the following examples as a violation of HIPAA?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Discussing a client’s transfer with a nurse from another unit violates HIPAA unless the nurse has a need-to-know. Faxing to a provider, teaching with consent, and surgical reports are permissible.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a tracheostomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse prioritize?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Suctioning the tracheostomy as needed maintains airway patency, which is the priority. Tracheostomy tubes are changed per protocol (e.g., weekly), dressings should be clean and moist, and humidification prevents mucus drying.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports that she has insomnia. Which of the following interventions is appropriate for the nurse to recommend?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A light carbohydrate snack promotes sleep by increasing tryptophan levels. Napping can disrupt nighttime sleep, exercise close to bedtime increases alertness, and cocoa contains caffeine, which can worsen insomnia.
