ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
After evaluating the meal tray of a Jewish client, the nurse notices the client ate none of the meal. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Determining why the client isn’t eating (e.g., kosher dietary needs, appetite) guides appropriate action, such as requesting a kosher meal. Family involvement, rabbi notification, or dietary requests are premature.
Question 2 of 5
Which method of birth control would the nurse recommend for the homeless client who has had two (2) unplanned pregnancies?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Subdermal implants (e.g., Nexplanon) are long-acting, low-maintenance, and highly effective, ideal for a homeless client with adherence challenges. Cervical caps, pills, and injections require more effort.
Question 3 of 5
Which interventions should the emergency department nurse implement for a client who has an AP of 122 and a BP of 80/50? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B,D,E
Rationale: IV access, warming, and type/crossmatch address hypotension and potential blood loss; reverse Trendelenburg or admission are inappropriate.
Question 4 of 5
The rehabilitation nurse is caring for an elderly client who had a surgical repair of a fractured hip. The client states she misses her dog. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pet therapy with a trained dog provides emotional support without logistical issues of bringing the client’s dog. TV shows, family visits, or empathy alone are less effective.
Question 5 of 5
The client diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma tells the nurse, 'I am so tired. I just wish I could die.' Which stage of the grieving process does this statement represent?
