ATI RN Fundamentals Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is preparing to assess the heart rate on an adult female client. The nurse recognizes that the apical pulse can be assessed in an adult female at which of the following anatomical position?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Fifth left intercostal space at the midclavicular line. The apical pulse is best assessed at the apex of the heart, which is located at the fifth intercostal space at the midclavicular line. This location allows for optimal auscultation of the heart sounds. Assessing the apical pulse at this position ensures accurate measurement of the heart rate.

Explanation for incorrect choices:
B: Third left intercostal space at the midclavicular line - This position is too high and does not correspond to the location of the apical pulse.
C: Fourth left intercostal space at the sternal border - This position is more associated with assessing the point of maximal impulse (PMI) rather than the apical pulse.
D: Under the left breast at the midclavicular line - This location is not typical for assessing the apical pulse and may lead to inaccurate readings.
