ATI RN Fundamentals 2023 Exam 5 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a group of older adult clients about medication safety. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Herbal supplements must be reported due to interactions; allergies can develop over time; stopping medication abruptly is unsafe. Food-drug interactions (e.g., grapefruit with statins) show understanding.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has an NG tube set to low-intermittent suction for gastric decompression. The nurse observes that the NG tube is not draining. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lowering the bed to 15 degrees may assist drainage but is less effective than clearing a potential blockage. Injecting 10 mL of air into the vent lumen is a standard technique to dislodge obstructions, restoring drainage. High suction risks gastric mucosa damage, and connecting the air vent to suction disrupts its purpose of preventing adherence to the stomach lining.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is exhibiting violent behavior and requires the application of wrist restraints. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Quick-release ties ensure safety by allowing rapid removal in emergencies. A prescription is needed but not the first action. Securing to side rails risks injury, and two fingers (not three) is the correct spacing.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing information to a client about durable power of attorney. The nurse should include that durable power of attorney is enforceable under which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Self-care incapacity or terminal illness doesn’t automatically trigger it; it’s enforceable when the client can’t express wishes due to incapacity. Refusal of treatment doesn’t activate it if the client is competent.
