ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client asks the nurse about using herbs and special teas to decrease blood pressure. Which question is most important for the nurse to consider before addressing the client's concerns?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Safety is the priority when considering herbs/teas, as they may interact with medications or worsen hypertension. Cost, knowledge, and scope are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse observes the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) taking vital signs on an unconscious client. Which action by the UAP warrants intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oral temperature in an unconscious client risks injury or inaccuracy; rectal or tympanic is preferred, warranting intervention.
Question 3 of 5
The 24-year-old African American female client tells the nurse she has a brother with sickle cell disease. She is engaged to be married and is concerned about giving this disease to her future children. Which information is most important to provide to the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Genetic counseling assesses carrier status and risks for sickle cell disease, the most proactive step.
Question 4 of 5
The home health nurse must see all of the following clients. Which client should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Coffee-ground emesis suggests GI bleeding, a life-threatening emergency, requiring immediate assessment.
Question 5 of 5
The client with severe itching from an insect bite calls the clinic and asks the nurse, 'What do I need to do for the itching?' Which intervention should the nurse implement for the client problem of alteration in comfort?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Benadryl gel (diphenhydramine) relieves itching effectively, applied PRN. Tylenol/aspirin don’t target itching, hot water may worsen it, and hydrocortisone every 2 hours is excessive.
