ATI N 144 Exam 1 Fundamental Concepts for Nursing Practice Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The RN asks the client to demonstrate proper use of his inhaler. This is an example of which domain of learning?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Psychomotor domain of learning involves the physical aspects of learning such as movement coordination and manipulation. It includes skills such as imitating practicing adapting and creating. An example of psychomotor learning is the RN asking the client to demonstrate proper use of his inhaler. Cognitive learning involves mental processes like understanding the inhaler’s purpose. Affective learning involves emotions and attitudes toward using the inhaler. Kinesthetic is a learning style not a domain.
Question 2 of 5
A client presents in the emergency room with a penetrating eye injury. The object is still present in the eye. Which nursing action is priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Stabilizing the object is the priority nursing action for a penetrating eye injury. Stabilizing the object prevents further damage to the eye structures and reduces the risk of infection and bleeding. The nurse should use a protective shield or cup to cover the eye and secure the object in place and avoid applying any pressure or movement to the eye. Applying anesthetic drops removing the object or using ointment could worsen the injury and are not initial priorities.
Question 3 of 5
A client is hospitalized for observation after suffering heat exhaustion during a marathon race. He complains of dizziness when he stands up,and the RN determines that he has postural hypotension. Based on the information which of the following electrolyte imbalances could cause the client's symptoms?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hyponatremia or low sodium levels can cause postural hypotension due to its role in regulating fluid balance and blood pressure. Heat exhaustion may lead to sodium loss through sweating contributing to symptoms like dizziness. Hypernatremia hyperkalemia and hypokalemia are less likely to cause postural hypotension in this context.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has open-angle glaucoma. Which of the following symptoms should the nurse expect the patient to report?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gradual loss of peripheral vision is characteristic of open-angle glaucoma due to blocked drainage angles increasing intraocular pressure and damaging the optic nerve. Central vision loss is typical of macular degeneration sudden headache and nausea indicate acute angle-closure glaucoma and cloudy vision suggests cataracts.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for an older adult client who is receiving intravenous fluids at 150 mL/hr. Upon assessment,the nurse notes crackles shortness of breath and jugular vein distention. Based on this data which complication of IV fluid therapy does the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fluid volume excess is a condition in which the body retains more fluid than it needs resulting in edema hypertension and heart failure. It is a potential complication of IV fluid therapy especially in older adults who have reduced renal function and cardiac output. The nurse's assessment findings of crackles shortness of breath and jugular vein distention are indicative of fluid overload and pulmonary congestion. Fluid volume deficit would present with dehydration and hypotension which are not indicated here. Speed shock is related to rapid medication administration not fluid therapy. Pulmonary embolism involves a blockage in pulmonary arteries typically with symptoms like chest pain and hemoptysis not fluid overload signs.
