ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client has a fractured right tibia. Which assessment data warrant immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A cold foot suggests vascular compromise (e.g., compartment syndrome), requiring immediate intervention to prevent tissue damage.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client in the rehabilitation unit who is hearing impaired, is anxious, and has elevated blood pressure. The client enjoys pet therapy but is allergic to dogs and cats. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A fish in a bowl provides a calming, visual form of pet therapy without allergy risks. Antihistamines pose risks, extra visits don’t address pet therapy, and a radio is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is at home preparing for the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shift and has the flu with a temperature of 100.4°F. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Flu with fever risks patient safety; notifying the hospital to stay home is the ethical action.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse arranges for a dance movement therapist to lead a group session for clients with osteoarthritis. Which statement best describes the rationale for this intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Dance therapy promotes endorphin release, reducing pain perception in osteoarthritis. Bonding is secondary, synovial fluid increase is inaccurate, and pain reduction is less direct.
