ATI N103N103 Fundamentals Final Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who is obese and has obstructive sleep apnea on how to decrease the number of nightly apneic episodes. Which client statement indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Weight loss reduces airway obstruction in obstructive sleep apnea, decreasing apneic episodes. Sleeping pills worsen obstruction, humidifiers don’t address episodes, and back sleeping exacerbates the condition.
Question 2 of 5
A primary health care provider orders chest physiotherapy with percussion and vibration for a client. After the health care provider leaves, the client says, 'I still don't understand the purpose of this therapy.' Which statement should be included in the nurse's response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chest physiotherapy loosens and mobilizes secretions to clear airways, aiding conditions like COPD or pneumonia. It doesn’t direct secretions to the lung base, eliminate coughing, or limit mucus production.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is confused and uncooperative. The client hit the nurse when they attempted to give them their medication. The nurse asks the charge nurse if she can apply restraints on the client. The charge nurse should explain to the nurse this action is a violation of the client’s rights and is an example of which tort?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Applying restraints without justification constitutes false imprisonment violating client rights. Defamation (
A) invasion of privacy (
B) and slander (
C) are unrelated to unauthorized restraint use.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is doing hourly rounding and finds a client unresponsive. The nurse is unable to obtain a pulse and the client is not breathing. What intervention would be the priority for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Starting chest compressions is the priority in cardiac arrest to restore circulation. Central lines, assessments, and rescue breathing follow after initiating compressions.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is giving preoperative instructions to a patient scheduled for surgery. The patient tells the nurse, 'I will prepare my advance directives before I come to the hospital.' Which statement shows the client understands advance directives?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The statement about not wanting to be kept on a breathing machine shows the client understands that advance directives specify medical treatment preferences, such as life-sustaining measures. The other options reflect misunderstandings, such as needing doctor approval, surgery dependency on forms, or confusion about healthcare proxy designation.
