ATI RN
Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client has a fractured right arm. What should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should first remove the client's bracelet and rings from the right arm. This action is crucial to prevent complications such as swelling and restricted blood flow, which could worsen the condition. Applying ice, administering pain medications, and sending the client for an x-ray are important steps but should come after ensuring the client's jewelry is removed to avoid any further issues.
Question 2 of 5
What is the condition called when the client's pupils are different sizes and have been this way since childhood?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anisocoria is the correct answer. Anisocoria is the condition of having pupils of different sizes. Exophthalmos refers to abnormal protrusion of the eyeball, not pupil size difference. Strabismus is a condition where the eyes are not properly aligned with each other. Scleral edema is swelling of the sclera, the white part of the eye, and not related to differing pupil sizes.
Question 3 of 5
A client sustained a crushing injury to his right arm during a car accident. He arrives to the emergency room complaining of numbness in his right hand. He has no other injuries. What should the nurse do first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assessing the radial pulse checks for adequate circulation and potential complications.
Question 4 of 5
What medication class can decrease tissue inflammation but delays bone healing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are known to decrease tissue inflammation but may delay bone healing. Anticoagulants (Choice A) are used to prevent blood clotting, opioids (Choice C) are pain relievers, and narcotics (Choice D) are drugs that affect the central nervous system. While all the choices may have their own indications and uses in healthcare, NSAIDs are specifically associated with delaying bone healing despite their anti-inflammatory properties.
Question 5 of 5
The client states, "the doctor says I am nearsighted. I do not get it." What would be the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct response is to explain to the client what nearsightedness means, which is having difficulty seeing distant objects, as known as myopia. Choice A is not helpful as changing doctors is not necessary for this situation. Choice C is premature as wearing glasses is a possible solution but not the only one. Choice D is incorrect as nearsightedness (myopia) often requires glasses for correction.
