ATI RN Fundamentals Exam 2 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse recognizes that the following statement is true regarding the internal structures of the breast: The breast is made up of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The breast consists of fibrous tissue (Cooper’s ligaments for support), glandular tissue (for milk production), and adipose tissue (fat). Muscle is minimal, and milk ducts are part of glandular tissue, not the primary component.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is performing an assessment of the clients lungs. The nurse recognizes that the left lung:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The left lung has two lobes (upper and lower), unlike the right lung’s three. It’s not limited to the upper lobe posteriorly, not shorter due to the stomach, and lacks a horizontal fissure, which is specific to the right lung.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the anatomy and physiologic functioning of the heart. The nurse should recognize that which statement best describes the atrial kick?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The atrial kick refers to atrial contraction late in diastole, pushing additional blood into the ventricles before systole. It does not occur during systole, is not ventricular pressure, and is not typically felt as a palpitation.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is inspecting the anterior chest of an adult client. The nurse recognizes that which of the following should be included in the assessments?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Inspection of the anterior chest includes observing the shape and configuration of the chest wall for abnormalities like asymmetry or deformities. Presence of breath sounds is assessed via auscultation, diaphragmatic excursion via percussion, and symmetric chest expansion via palpation and observation, not solely inspection.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is auscultating a client's chest for breath sounds. In which situation should the nurse expect to auscultate increased breath sounds?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Increased breath sounds, like wheezing or rhonchi, occur when the bronchial tree is obstructed by secretions, causing turbulent airflow. Bronchial sounds in the trachea are normal, sneezing doesn’t increase lung sounds, and resting clients have normal sounds.
