ATI RN Fundamentals Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing the carotid arteries of a client with cardiovascular disease. What action should be performed next by the nurse?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Demonstrate that both arteries will be palpated simultaneously to compare amplitude. This is the correct action because assessing both carotid arteries simultaneously allows for comparison of their amplitudes, helping to identify any discrepancies in blood flow. Palpation also provides information about the strength and regularity of the pulse.

Explanation for why other choices are incorrect:
A: Discussing the use of light is not relevant for assessing carotid arteries.
B: Instructing the client to take a deep breath is not necessary for assessing carotid arteries.
D: Showing the client the diaphragm of the stethoscope is not appropriate for palpating the carotid arteries.

Overall, choice C is the most appropriate action for assessing the carotid arteries in a client with cardiovascular disease.
