ATI NUR 112 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider prescribes enoxaparin sodium 80 mg SUBQ three times daily. The nurse is preparing a preloaded 1 mL syringe labeled 'Enoxaparin sodium injection, USP 60 mg/0.6 mL.' How many mL should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Calculation: 60 mg/0.6 mL = 100 mg/mL; 80 mg ÷ 100 mg/mL = 0.8 mL. Thus, 0.8 mL delivers the prescribed 80 mg.
Question 2 of 5
Furosemide is prescribed for a client with a history of heart failure (HF). Which foods should the nurse encourage this client to eat?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Furosemide causes potassium loss, so potassium-rich foods like bananas, oranges, and peaches prevent hypokalemia. Other foods lack sufficient potassium.
Question 3 of 5
A client who is receiving pregabalin for fibromyalgia complains of tremors in the hands. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Tremors are a side effect of pregabalin, requiring provider notification for dose adjustment. Antianxiety drugs, blood pressure, or glucose levels are unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
Administer a scheduled dose of labetalol PO to a client with hypertension. The client’s temperature is 99°F (37.2°C), a heart rate of 48 beats per minute, respirations of 16 breaths per minute, and a blood pressure of 150/90 mm Hg. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Labetalol risks worsening bradycardia (HR 48 bpm), so withholding and notifying the provider is critical. Administering, assessing hypotension, or telemetry are less urgent.
Question 5 of 5
A client with a cold is taking the antitussive medication benzonatate. Which assessment information indicates to the nurse that the medication is effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Benzonatate suppresses cough, so no coughing spells indicate efficacy. Sleep, secretions, and nasal discharge are not primary targets.
