ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client asks the nurse, 'What are the risk factors for developing multiple sclerosis?' Which statement is a risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Family history increases MS risk due to genetic predisposition, per NMSS.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse and the unlicensed assistive personnel are performing postmortem care on a client. Two (2) of the family members are seen laughing about a memory of the client. What explanation of this behavior would be best for the nurse to give the unlicensed assistive personnel?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Laughter about memories is a coping mechanism for grief, per cultural and psychological norms. Assuming lack of love, inappropriateness, or lack of education is judgmental.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is a recent immigrant to the country. The family is present in the room and one member of the family speaks English. Which should the nurse implement to complete the admission assessment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using a medical interpreter ensures accurate, confidential communication, per standards. Family interpreting risks bias, gestures are inadequate, and notifying HCP avoids responsibility.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing to make morning rounds. Which client should the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chest pain, even if possibly dietary, may indicate a cardiac issue, requiring immediate assessment per ABCs. Cultural decision-making, pain refusal, and anger are less urgent.
