ATI RN FUNDAMENTALOF NURSING PROCTORED EXAM EXAM COMPLITION OF TWO VERSION (A&B) NEWEST VERSION ACTUAL EXAM COMPLETE EACH VERSION 70 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS 1. NURSING PROCESS & CLINICAL JUDGMENT Q. Assessment Answer: Collect subjective and objective data before forming conclusions. Validate abnormal findings, compare with baseline, and identify urgent changes. Q. Diagnosis Answer: A nursing diagnosis identifies a client response/problem that nursing care can address. It is distinct from a medical diagnosis. Q. Planning Answer: Set measurable, client-centered outcomes and choose interventions appropriate to the problem, resources, and safety needs. Q. Implementation Answer: Carry out interventions, communicate appropriately, document care, and reassess when needed. Q. Evaluation Answer: Determine whether outcomes were achieved and modify the plan if the response is inadequate. Q. Clinical judgment Answer: Recognize cues → analyze cues → prioritize hypotheses → generate solutions → take action → evaluate outcomes. In NGN-style questions, avoid treating every cue as equally important. 2. SAFETY, FALLS & EMERGENCY PRIORITIES Q. Priority framework Answer: Use airway, breathing, circulation, acute neurologic change, severe bleeding, and other immediate threats before less urgent needs. Q. Fall prevention Answer: Identify risk factors, keep the environment clear, provide appropriate assistive devices, place needed items within reach, use adequate lighting, and follow facility protocols. Q. Seizure safety Answer: Protect from injury, lower hazards, position safely when possible, do not restrain, and do not place objects in the mouth. Afterward assess airway, breathing, injury, and recovery. Q. Fire response Answer: Follow facility fire procedures and remember the basic sequence commonly taught as RACE: Rescue, Alarm, Confine/Contain, Extinguish/Evacuate. Q. Restraints Answer: Use the least restrictive alternative. Restraints require appropriate indication, monitoring, documentation, and adherence to policy/law. They are not a substitute for supervision. Q. Emergency prioritization Answer: WhenAnswer: Contact, droplet, and airborne precautions are selected according to how a pathogen spreads. Always follow current facility/infection-control guidance. Q. Hand hygiene Answer: Perform hand hygiene at appropriate moments, including before and after client contact and after contact with potentially contaminated material. Alcohol-based hand rub is commonly preferred when hands are not visibly soiled, subject to policy. Q. Sterile technique Answer: Maintain sterility by preventing contact between sterile and nonsterile surfaces and by protecting the sterile field from contamination. Q. PPE sequence Answer: Follow current facility procedure for donning and doffing. Removal is particularly important because contaminated PPE can transfer organisms. Q. Isolation room safety Answer: Plan care efficiently, gather supplies, and minimize unnecessary movement while preserving the client's dignity and communication needs. 4. VITAL SIGNS, ASSESSMENT & BASIC CARE Q. Temperature Answer: Interpret temperature with age, condition, route, baseline, and clinical context. Trends can be more informative than one isolated value. Q. Pulse AnswerQ. Immobility complications Answer: Immobility increases risks for pressure injury, venous thromboembolism, constipation, urinary problems, pulmonary complications, muscle loss, and functional decline. Q. Pressure injury prevention Answer: Reposition according to individualized risk and policy, offload pressure, manage moisture, optimize nutrition/hydration, and inspect skin. Q. Pressure injury staging Answer: Use current accepted staging terminology; do not infer stage from depth alone. Eschar/slough may obscure the true depth of tissue damage. Q. Transfer safety Answer: Lock wheels when appropriate, use proper body mechanics, explain the procedure, and use required equipment/help. 6. MEDICATION SAFETY & BASIC PHARMACOLOGY Q. Medication rights Answer: Verify the right client, medication, dose, route, time, documentation, indication/response, and other facility-required checks. Q. High-alert medications Answer: Use extra verification and follow institutional safeguards for medications with a high risk of causing significant harm if used incorrectly. Q. Medication reconciliation Answer: Compare current medication use with new orders at transitions of care and resolve discrepancies. Q. Adverse effect vs allergy Answer: An expected side effect differs from an immune-mediated allergy. Severe allergic reactions can become emergencies. Q. Patient teaching Answer: Explain purpose, schedule, administration, common/serious effects, precautions, and when to seek help using language the client can understand. Q. Medication errors Answer: Prioritize client safety, assessment, notification according to policy, treatment of harm, documentation, and required reporting. Never conceal an error. 7. DELEGATION, ASSIGNMENT & SCOPE Q. RN responsibilities Answer: Assessment, nursing judgment, care planning, evaluation, and tasks requiring professional nursing judgment generally remain with the RN. Q. Delegation Answer: Apply the five rights: right task, circumstance, person, direction/communication, and supervision/evaluation. Q. Appropriate AP tasks Answer: Routine, predictable tasks for stable clients may often be delegated when permitted by law and policy. Q. Do not delegate assessment/judgment Answer: The RN should not delegate tasks that require nursing assessment, clinical judgment, interpretation, teaching, or evaluation when those responsibilities belong to the nurse.
