ATI RN Custom Exams Set 1
1. The system used at the division level and forward is comprised of six basic modules. Which module is composed of a dental officer, dental specialist, x-ray specialist, laboratory specialist, and needed equipment?
- A. Treatment squad
- B. Area support squad
- C. Medical service squad
- D. Dental squad
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Dental squad. The Dental squad is composed of a dental officer, dental specialist, x-ray specialist, laboratory specialist, and necessary equipment. This module specifically focuses on dental care and services. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not include the specific specialists mentioned in the question or focus on dental services.
2. A patient with chronic renal failure should avoid which of the following?
- A. Potassium
- B. Calcium
- C. Iron
- D. Zinc
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Patients with chronic renal failure should avoid potassium due to impaired kidney function. The kidneys may not effectively filter excess potassium from the blood, leading to hyperkalemia. Calcium, iron, and zinc do not need to be avoided specifically in chronic renal failure unless there are other underlying reasons or complications.
3. Determining nursing care priorities is a part of which of the following steps for determining and fulfilling the nursing care needs of the patient?
- A. Evaluation
- B. Planning
- C. Implementation
- D. Assessment
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Corrected Rationale: Planning in nursing involves setting priorities based on the identified patient needs, establishing goals, and developing a plan of care. Evaluation involves assessing the effectiveness of the care provided, implementation is the phase where the care plan is carried out, and assessment is the initial step of collecting data to identify the patient's needs. Therefore, in the context of determining nursing care priorities, the correct step is Planning (choice B).
4. A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results for a client with a history of atherosclerosis and notes elevated cholesterol levels. Which statement by the client indicates the nurse should plan follow-up instruction on a low-cholesterol diet?
- A. ''I take an omega-3 supplement daily.''
- B. ''I cook my food with canola oil.''
- C. ''I eat three eggs for breakfast each morning.''
- D. ''I flavor my meat with lemon juice.''
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Eating three eggs daily increases cholesterol intake, which could exacerbate atherosclerosis. Choice A is incorrect because taking an omega-3 supplement can actually help reduce cholesterol levels. Choice B is incorrect as canola oil is a healthier choice compared to saturated fats. Choice D is incorrect since flavoring meat with lemon juice does not significantly impact cholesterol levels.
5. Which discharge instruction should the nurse teach the client diagnosed with varicose veins who has received sclerotherapy?
- A. Walk 15 to 20 minutes three (3) times a day.
- B. Keep the legs in the dependent position when sitting.
- C. Remove compression bandages before going to bed.
- D. Perform Berger-Allen exercises (4) times a day.
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is to instruct the client to walk 15 to 20 minutes three times a day. Walking is beneficial as it helps improve circulation and reduces the risk of complications following sclerotherapy. Choice B is incorrect because keeping the legs in the dependent position when sitting can lead to increased venous pressure, worsening varicose veins. Choice C is incorrect as compression bandages should typically be worn continuously, especially during the initial healing phase. Choice D is incorrect as Berger-Allen exercises are not commonly associated with post-sclerotherapy care.
