ATI PN FUNDAMENTAL PROCTORED EXAM with rationale

ATI PN FUNDAMENTAL PROCTORED EXAM with rationale 1. The nurse performs an intervention for a collaborative problem. Which type of intervention did the nurse perform? a. Dependent b. Independent c. Interdependent d. Physician-initiated Collaborative interventions, or interdependent interventions, are therapies that require the combined knowledge, skill, and expertise of multiple health care professionals. Health care provider-initiated (HCP) interventions are dependent nursing interventions, or actions that require an order from the HCP. Nurse- initiated interventions are the independent nursing interventions, or actions that a nurse initiates without supervision or direction from others. 2. A registered nurse administers pain medication to a patient suffering from fractured ribs. Which type of nursing intervention is this nurse implementing? a. Collaborative b. Independent c. Interdependent d. Dependent The nurse does not have prescriptive authority to order pain medications, unless the nurse is an advanced practice nurse. The intervention is therefore dependent. Administering a medication, implementing an invasive procedure (e.g., inserting a Foley catheter, starting an intravenous [IV] infusion), and preparing a patient for diagnostic tests are examples of health care provider-initiated interventions. A collaborative, or an interdependent, intervention involves therapies that require combined knowledge, skill, and expertise from multiple health care professionals. Nurse-initiated interventions are the independent nursing interventions, or actions that a nurse initiates without supervision or direction from others.
