ATI n200 Med Surg Exam 6 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse has discussed activity as a way to lose weight with a group of overweight clients. Which is the BEST cardiovascular exercise plan for weight loss?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Walking for 30 minutes 5-7 days a week is sustainable, manageable, and effective for weight loss through consistent calorie burning. Running, soccer, and weightlifting are beneficial but less frequent or not primarily cardiovascular, making them less ideal for weight loss.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a prescribed dose of omeprazole to a client with peptic ulcer disease. What does the nurse need to remember when administering this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Omeprazole is most effective when taken 30 minutes before meals to inhibit acid production. It is not an antibiotic, should not be crushed, and treatment duration varies.
Question 3 of 5
Urinary tract infections associated with indwelling catheters are a major component of hospital-associated infections. What must nurses do to help decrease the incidence of these infections in their clients? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D
Rationale: Clean technique, early catheter removal, avoiding catheterization, and adequate fluid intake reduce UTI risk. Keeping the bag at bladder level is incorrect; it should be below to prevent reflux.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is planning a teaching session for a patient with a duodenal ulcer. Which instructions are MOST important to include in the teaching? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)
Correct Answer: A,D,E
Rationale: Aspirin and ibuprofen irritate the stomach lining, and smoking impairs ulcer healing. Coffee and dairy increase acid production, worsening symptoms.
Question 5 of 5
A client takes the morning dose of 10 units of insulin aspart at 0800. At what time would the nurse assess for hypoglycemia?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Insulin aspart peaks around 1-2 hours after administration, making 0930 (1.5 hours post-dose) the optimal time to assess for hypoglycemia. 0830 is too early, and 1030 or 1130 are beyond the peak risk period.
