ATI RN Fundamentals 2019 with NGN - Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about the use of a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Shaking the inhaler 5–6 times is sufficient. Holding the breath for 10 seconds maximizes medication absorption. Inhaling quickly and deeply ensures proper delivery to the lungs. Waiting 30–60 seconds between puffs is standard for most MDIs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a transdermal patch. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Removing the previous patch prevents medication overdose. Patches should be applied to clean, hairless skin, rotated to different sites, and left on for the prescribed duration (typically 12–24 hours, depending on the medication).
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a group of clients whose primary languages are different from the nurse's. For which of the following clients should the nurse provide written materials in the client's primary language?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Written materials in the client's primary language are essential for discharge teaching to ensure understanding and compliance. A video in the client's language may suffice for meal services. An interpreter can assist with incentive spirometer teaching. Pain medication administration does not typically require written materials.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a new prescription for oxygen therapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Placing a ‘No Smoking’ sign prevents fire hazards, as oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen tanks should be stored upright, petroleum-based lotions are contraindicated, and open flames are dangerous.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports a pain level of 5 on a scale from 0 to 10. The client informs the nurse that pain medications are not an option for managing pain. Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dismissing the client’s preference is inappropriate. Herbal remedies require provider approval. Offering a back massage is a non-pharmacological intervention that respects the client’s wishes. Questioning the client’s reasoning may seem confrontational.
