FUNDAMENTALS ATI – PN EXAM WITH 108 REAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS UPDATED VERSION 2024-2025.
Indicator of pain - CORRECT ANSWERS-Dilated pupils
PT with active TB - CORRECT ANSWERS-Negative airflow room
pressure
Positive finding for guaiac smear on stool specimen - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Blue
Adolescent PT plan of care with bacterial infection - CORRECT
ANSWERS-Fever- blood cultures
Motor/expressive aphasia pain scale - CORRECT ANSWERS-Numeric
Mild anxiety symptom - CORRECT ANSWERS-Insomnia
Severe anxiety symptom - CORRECT ANSWERS-Nausea
Sitting down with crutches - CORRECT ANSWERS-Both crutches should
be in one hand
,Palliative care - CORRECT ANSWERS-A switch from curative treatment
to comfort measures
Indicator of acute pain - CORRECT ANSWERS-Dilated pupils
Causes of hypovolemia - CORRECT ANSWERS-abnormal
gastrointestinal losses- vomiting, nasogastric suctioning, diarrhea.
abnormal skin losses- diaphoresis. abnormal renal losses- diuretic
therapy, diabetes insipidus, renal disease, adrenal insufficiency,
osmotic diuretics. third spacing- peritonitis, intestinal obstruction,
ascitis, burns. hemorrhage. altered intake- NPO.
causes of dehydration - CORRECT ANSWERS-hyperventilation, diabetic
ketoacidosis, enternal feeding without sufficient water intake.
HCT - CORRECT ANSWERS-hypovalemia- increased hct. dehydration-
increased hemoconcentration but not present when dehydration is
caused by hemorrhage. overyhydration- decreased hct= hemodilution
serum osmolarity - CORRECT ANSWERS-dehydration-increased
hemoconcentration osmolarity (>300 mOsm/L-increased protein,
BUN, electrolytes, glucose. overyhydration- decreased hemodilution
(osmolarity less than 270 mOsm/L)
levels: 180-300 mOsm/L.
, urine specific gravity and osmolarity - CORRECT ANSWERS-
dehydration- increased concentration
serum sodium - CORRECT ANSWERS-increased hemoconcentration.
hypervolemia- sodium within expected reference range.
levels: 136-145 mEq/L.
Causes of hypervolemia - CORRECT ANSWERS-chronic stimulus to the
kidney to conserve sodium and water (heart failure, cirrhosis,
increased glucocorticosteroids), abnormal renal function with reduced
excretion of sodium and water (renal failure), interstitial to plasma
fluid shifts (hypertonic fluids, burns), age-related changes in
cariovascular and renal function, excessive sodium intake
Causes of overhydration - CORRECT ANSWERS-water replacement
without electrolyte replacement (strenuous exercise with profuse
diaphoresis)
electrolytes, BUN, and creatinine - CORRECT ANSWERS-
overhydration/hypervolemia- decreased electrolytes, BUN, and
creatinine
arterial blood gases - CORRECT ANSWERS-respiratory alkalosis-
decreased PaCO2 (less than 35 mm Hg), increased pH (greater than
7.45)
