ATI NUR 112 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is administering sucralfate to a client with stomatitis secondary to chemotherapy. The client wants to take the medication after breakfast. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Sucralfate requires an empty stomach for efficacy, so it must be taken 1 hour before meals. Post-meal dosing or documenting refusal is incorrect.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A client with cystitis receives a prescription for phenazopyridine. Which information should the nurse explain to the client about its therapeutic effect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Phenazopyridine numbs the urinary tract, relieving pain from cystitis. It’s not an antibiotic, antispasmodic, or tied to post-intercourse use.
Question 4 of 5
A client is receiving tamsulosin, an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent, for the management of urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which instruction is most important for the nurse to provide?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tamsulosin can cause orthostatic hypotension, so slow position changes prevent falls. Timing, fluid reduction, and twice-weekly dosing are incorrect.
Question 5 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.
