ATI RN Fundamentals Exam 6 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The parent of a toddler is concerned that his child has suddenly become disinterested in certain foods. Which of the following statements is the appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Encouraging feeding anything the child will eat might lead to poor nutrition. It's important to ensure a balanced diet. Acknowledging the concern is valid but the nurse should provide guidance rather than just expressing concern. This response acknowledges the concern but reassures the parent that if the child appears healthy no immediate intervention is necessary promoting a balanced approach. Increasing calories and water without a specific reason or assessment may not address the underlying issue and is not the initial recommended intervention.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client proper use of an albuterol inhaler during acute asthma exacerbations. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Tilted head forward is not necessary during inhaler use. The client should maintain an upright position. Shaking the inhaler before use is correct to ensure proper dispersion of the medication. Rinsing the mouth out before using the inhaler is not necessary for proper technique. Waiting 10 seconds between puffs allows for optimal delivery of the medication to the airways.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a temperature of 38.7°C (101.7°F). Which of the following nursing interventions is appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the client's bed linens dry helps maintain the client's comfort and prevents chilling associated with damp linens. Applying an alcohol-water solution may increase evaporative cooling and is not a standard intervention for fever. Encouraging increased fluid intake is appropriate to promote hydration but the specific amount should be individualized based on the client's condition and needs. Applying ice packs to the groin is not a recommended site for cooling and may cause discomfort. The choice of cooling measures should be appropriate and based on the healthcare provider's orders or institutional protocols.
Question 4 of 5
A home health nurse is providing teaching to an older adult client who is at risk for falls. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Having vision checked is a positive step to prevent falls by addressing potential visual impairments. Wearing socks when getting out of bed increases the risk of slipping indicating a need for further teaching. Placing a safety bar near the toilet is a preventive measure against falls. Putting a night-light in the hallway helps improve visibility and reduce the risk of tripping.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following abdominal surgery. Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further instruction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Getting up and walking with the physical therapy aide promotes early mobility and is a positive statement. Doing leg exercises every hour while awake helps prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Leaving antiembolic stockings on during sleep helps prevent DVT so the client's statement is incorrect. Using a footstool while sitting in a chair promotes proper positioning and comfort.
