ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client approaches the nurse about a weight-loss program. Which complementary therapy should the nurse suggest to assist the client's plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hatha yoga promotes physical activity and mindfulness, supporting weight loss. Music therapy, hypnotherapy, and Alexander technique are less directly linked to weight management.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is admitting a female client to the medical-surgical unit when the client tells the nurse she takes many vitamins to keep her healthy. Which statement is the nurse's most appropriate response to the information provided by the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing the HCP about vitamins ensures safe prescribing, as some vitamins (e.g., A,
D) interact with medications. Dismissing vitamins, focusing on water-soluble vitamins, or assuming deficiency is inaccurate.
Question 3 of 5
The Mexican client requests a curandero to come to the hospital to visit. Which statement explains the role of the curandero in the Mexican culture?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A curandero is a traditional Mexican healer believed to have a divine gift, treating illnesses holistically. Massage, herbs, or witchcraft are roles of other practitioners (e.g., sobador, yerbero, brujo).
Question 4 of 5
Which intervention should the circulating nurse implement for the preoperative elderly client who is anxious and diaphoretic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Soft, slow music reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation in the OR, safe for an elderly client. Rapid breaths worsen anxiety, talking may not suffice, and opening doors breaks asepsis.
Question 5 of 5
The client diagnosed with chronic renal failure is receiving peritoneal dialysis. Which assessment by the nurse warrants immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cloudy dialysate suggests peritonitis, a serious complication requiring immediate intervention.
