The coordinate-space wave function $\psi(x)$ of quasi-one-dimensional atoms is defined in the $x\geq 0$ region only. This poses a typical problem to write a physically acceptable momentum-space wave function $\phi(p)$ from the Fourier transform of $\psi(x)$. We resolve the problem with special attention to the behavior of real and imaginary parts of the complex-valued function $\phi(p)$ as a function of $p$ and confirm that $\phi_i(p)$ (the imaginary part of $\phi(p)$) represents the correct momentum-space wave function. We make use of the results for $\psi(x)$ and $\phi_i(p)$ to express the position- and momentum-space Fisher information in terms of the principal quantum number and energy eigen value of the system and provide some useful checks on the result presented with particular attention on the information theoretic uncertainty relation.
