ATI NUR 112 Fundamentals Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with atrial fibrillation who receives a prescription for warfarin. The international normalized ratio (INR) is 2.8. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An INR of 2.8 is therapeutic, but notifying the provider ensures dose stability and prevents bleeding risks. Administering, retesting, or monitoring alone are insufficient.
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
When administering zolpidem to an older client, which computer documentation indicates that the desired outcome has been achieved?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Zolpidem’s goal is to treat insomnia, so sound sleep is the outcome. It doesn’t address incontinence, concentration, or emotional outbursts.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A client with narcolepsy receives a new prescription for methylphenidate. Prior to administration of the medication, the nurse should review the medical record for which condition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Methylphenidate can elevate blood pressure, risking complications in hypertension. Cholesterol, diabetes, and bronchitis are not primary concerns.
