ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
When interviewing the client of Hindu heritage, which information should the nurse obtain to plan culturally sensitive care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ayurveda, common in Hindu culture, may influence health practices (e.g., herbs, diet), guiding culturally sensitive care. Advance directives, interpreters, and allergies are general, not Hindu-specific.
Question 3 of 5
The client is complaining of nonspecific body aches, congestion, and coughing. The client's blood pressure is elevated. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: OTC medications (e.g., decongestants) may cause hypertension and symptoms, requiring assessment first. Salt reduction, HCP notification, and long-term education follow.
Question 4 of 5
The male Navajo client comes to the clinic complaining of chest pain and has a pouch filled with objects around his neck. Which statement best supports the nurse allowing the client to wear the pouch?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The pouch is a Navajo cultural practice (e.g., medicine pouch), and allowing it respects beliefs unless it interferes with care (e.g., imaging). Upset, absolute rules, or specific spiritual claims are less accurate.
Question 5 of 5
The client is using acupuncture to help relieve severe back pain. Which client problem would the home health nurse identify in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acupuncture carries a small risk of infection from unsterile needles, a valid care plan problem. Paralysis, AIDS, or non-resolution are not primary concerns with professional acupuncture.
