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 preparing a female client for surgery. The client tells the nurse that she is a Jehovah's Witness and is afraid that the staff will administer blood to her during the procedure while she is under anesthesia. Which is the nurse's best response to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Notifying the team and charting the refusal respects the client’s Jehovah’s Witness beliefs, ensuring no blood products are given. Other responses dismiss or challenge beliefs.
Question 3 of 5
Which medical client problem should the nurse include in the plan of care for a client diagnosed with cardiomyopathy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cardiomyopathy impairs cardiac output, leading to heart failure, the primary client problem.
Question 4 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,
