Nutrition ATI Test
1. The nurse knows that after receiving the blood from the blood bank, it should be administered within:
- A. 1 hour
- B. 2 hours
- C. 4 hours
- D. 6 hours
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Blood transfusions need to be administered promptly after receiving the blood from the blood bank to ensure patient safety and effectiveness. Waiting too long can lead to complications such as bacterial growth in the blood product, which can be harmful when infused. Administering the blood within 6 hours is crucial to prevent such risks. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because waiting for 1, 2, or 4 hours respectively can increase the likelihood of complications associated with delayed transfusion.
2. Which of the following questions illustrates the group role of encourager?
- A. What were you saying?
- B. Who wants to respond next?
- C. Where do you go from here?
- D. Why haven’t we heard from you?
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Nursing interventions should be grounded in a deep understanding of the physiological processes involved, ensuring that care provided is both effective and efficient.
3. A client has acute dysphagia. Which of the following nursing interventions should be included in the plan of care?
- A. Providing a straw for consumption of liquids
- B. Encouraging larger bites
- C. Placing the client in semi-Fowler's position during meals
- D. Instructing the client to tilt head forward when swallowing
Correct answer: Placing the client in semi-Fowler's position during meals
Rationale: Placing the client in semi-Fowler's position during meals is the correct intervention for a client with acute dysphagia. This position helps prevent aspiration by facilitating swallowing. Providing a straw for consumption of liquids (Choice A) can increase the risk of aspiration and is not recommended for clients with dysphagia. Encouraging larger bites (Choice B) can also increase the risk of choking and aspiration. Instructing the client to tilt the head forward when swallowing (Choice D) is not the recommended technique for managing dysphagia as it does not address the underlying issue effectively.
4. Which of the following foods is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids?
- A. Salmon
- B. Chicken
- C. Spinach
- D. Eggs
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Salmon is the correct answer as it is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, which are known to be beneficial for heart health. Chicken, spinach, and eggs do not contain significant levels of omega-3 fatty acids compared to salmon. While eggs do contain some omega-3s, the amount is considerably lower than what is found in fatty fish like salmon.
