ATI RN COMPREHENSIVE EXIT EXAM 2020
(Detail Solutions)
1.A nurse is implementing interventions for a group of patients. Which actions are nursing interventions? (Select all that apply.)
a.Order chest x-ray for suspected arm fracture.
b.Prescribe antibiotics for a wound infection.
c.Reposition a patient who is on bed rest.
d.Teach a patient preoperative exercises.
e.Transfer a patient to another hospital unit.
ANS: C, D, E
A nursing intervention is any treatment based on clinical judgment and knowledge that a nurse performs to enhance patient outcomes. Repositioning, teaching, and transferring a patient are examples of nursing interventions. Ordering a chest x-ray and prescribing antibiotics are examples of medical interventions performed by a health care provider.
2.A nurse is providing nursing care to a group of patients. Which actions are direct care interventions? (Select all that apply.)
a.Ambulating a patient
b.Inserting a feeding tube
c.Performing resuscitation
d.Documenting wound care
e.Teaching about medications
ANS: A, B, C, E
All of the interventions listed (ambulating, inserting a feeding tube, performing resuscitation, and teaching) are direct care interventions involving patient and nurse interaction, except documenting wound care.
Documenting wound care is an example of an indirect intervention.1 3.A nurse is preparing to carry out interventions. Which resources will the nurse make sure are available? (Select all that apply.)
a.Equipment
b.Safe environment
c.Confidence
d.Assistive personnel
e.Creativity
ANS: A, B, D
A nurse will organize time and resources in preparation for implementing nursing care. Most nursing procedures require some equipment or supplies. Before performing an intervention, decide which supplies you need and determine their availability. Patient care staff (assistive personnel) work together as patients’ needs demand it. A patient’s care environment needs to be
safe and conducive to implementing therapies. Confidence and creativity are needed to provide safe and effective patient care; however, these are critical thinking attitudes, not resources.
4.Which interventions are appropriate for a patient with diabetes
and poor wound healing? ( Select all that apply. )
a.Perform dressing changes twice a day as ordered.
b.Teach the patient about signs and symptoms of infection.
c.Instruct the family about how to perform dressing changes.
d.Gently refocus patient from discussing body image changes. Administer medications to control the patient’s blood sugar as
e.ordered.
ANS: A, B, C, E
Nursing priorities include interventions directed at enhancing wound healing. Teaching the patient about signs and symptoms of infection will help the patient identify signs of appropriate wound healing and know when the need for calling the health care provider arises. Performing dressing changes, controlling blood sugars through administration of medications, and instructing the family in dressing changes all contribute to wound healing. As 2 long as a patient is stable and alert, it is appropriate to allow family to assist with care. The patient should be allowed to discuss body image changes.

ANS: D
