ATI RN Custom Exams Set 1
1. The system used at the division level and forward comprises six basic modules. Which module is composed of four medical specialists and two vehicles?
- A. Patient holding squad
- B. Surgical squad
- C. Ambulance squad
- D. Area support squad
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is 'C: Ambulance squad.' The Ambulance Squad is composed of four medical specialists and two vehicles, making it the module described in the question. Choice A, 'Patient holding squad,' is incorrect as it does not match the composition specified. Choice B, 'Surgical squad,' is incorrect as it focuses on surgical rather than general medical support. Choice D, 'Area support squad,' is incorrect as it does not align with the composition of four specialists and two vehicles.
2. Which of the following has the greatest effect on an increase in body weight?
- A. Carbohydrate intake
- B. Protein intake
- C. Fat intake
- D. Total kilocalories
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Total kilocalories have the greatest effect on body weight as they represent the overall energy intake from all macronutrients combined. While the consumption of specific macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can affect weight management, the total calories consumed play the most significant role in determining body weight. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they focus on individual macronutrients rather than the overall energy balance provided by total kilocalories.
3. A client is taking Warfarin for atrial fibrillation. Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further teaching?
- A. I will avoid eating broccoli.
- B. I will use an electric razor to shave.
- C. I will take aspirin for headaches.
- D. I will have my blood tested regularly.
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Taking aspirin along with Warfarin can increase the risk of bleeding. Clients should be advised to avoid medications that increase the risk of bleeding when taking Warfarin to prevent complications. Choices A, B, and D are all correct statements indicating good understanding of Warfarin therapy. Avoiding foods high in Vitamin K, using an electric razor to prevent cuts that can lead to bleeding, and regular blood testing to monitor Warfarin levels are all important aspects of managing Warfarin therapy.
4. What would you do to increase the amount of iron absorbed from a meal?
- A. Drink plenty of coffee before each meal
- B. Avoid eating foods rich in vitamin C with the meal
- C. Eat a calcium-rich food with the meal
- D. Consume orange juice as a beverage with a meal
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Consume orange juice as a beverage with a meal'. This is because Vitamin C significantly enhances the absorption of non-heme iron, a form of iron found in plant-based foods. Therefore, consuming orange juice, which is rich in vitamin C, with a meal can effectively increase iron absorption. On the contrary, choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Coffee (Choice A) contains polyphenols that can inhibit iron absorption. Avoiding vitamin C-rich foods (Choice B) would decrease iron absorption, not increase it. While calcium (Choice C) is essential for many bodily processes, it can actually inhibit iron absorption when consumed together.
5. Clients may benefit from slightly higher fat intakes than are normally recommended if they have:
- A. congestive heart failure
- B. cerebrovascular accident
- C. peripheral vascular disease
- D. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Correct answer: D
Rationale: In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), higher fat intake can be beneficial because it provides more calories with less respiratory burden compared to carbohydrates. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, and peripheral vascular disease do not specifically benefit from higher fat intakes as in COPD.
