ATI RN
Multi Dimensional Care | Final Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who had a cast placed 4 hours ago. What assessment finding is cause for concern?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Inability to insert a finger between the cast and skin indicates the cast is too tight, risking circulation problems.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse Is teaching the client how to administer eye drops. Which of these actions indicates the need for further client education?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Touching the dropper to the eye contaminates it and can lead to infection.
Question 3 of 5
A client does not understand why vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible. What is the best explanation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. In glaucoma, the optic nerve damage due to high intraocular pressure leads to permanent vision loss because the nerve fibers do not regenerate. Choice A is incorrect as it discusses bacterial infection, not relevant to glaucoma. Choice B is incorrect because it refers to retinal detachment, not glaucoma. Choice D is incorrect because not all glaucoma cases lead to permanent blindness; vision loss can be prevented or slowed with treatment.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A client who had an elective below-the-knee amputation reports pain in the foot that was amputated. What is the best response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct response is to assess the pain intensity by asking the client to rate their pain on a scale of 0-10. This helps the nurse to effectively manage the client's pain. Choice A is incorrect as it dismisses the client's pain without proper assessment. Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the pain is phantom limb pain without assessing the client's current condition. Choice C is incorrect as it invalidates the client's pain experience and does not address the issue at hand.
