ATI Med Surg Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has acute kidney disease about fluid restrictions. Which of the following statements by the client should the nurse identify as understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Not counting ice cream as fluid shows misunderstanding, as it contributes to fluid intake, indicating correct understanding of restrictions.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has impaired renal function. For which of the following findings should the nurse notify the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oliguria (175 mL/8 hr) suggests worsening renal function, requiring notification. Strong odor, normal output, and cloudy urine are less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A client who has low back pain reports that they are unable to void. The nurse notices a distended bladder on assessment. Which of the following is the likely cause of this client's low back pain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A distended bladder from urinary retention causes low back pain. Stress fractures, nerve root pain, and renal cancer are less likely causes.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hyperkalemia occurs in the oliguric phase due to reduced potassium excretion. Creatinine rises, GFR decreases, and hypermagnesemia is more likely.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer amantadine 150 mg PO every 12 hours. Available is amantadine 50 mg/5 mL syrup. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 15 mL
Rationale: 150 mg ÷(50 mg/5 mL) = 15 mL per dose.
