ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client has gastroesophageal reflux disease. Which HCP order should the nurse question?

Question 2 of 5
The 25-year-old client who has a C6 spinal cord injury is crying and asks the nurse, 'Why did I have to survive? I wish I was dead.' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A therapeutic response acknowledges feelings and invites discussion, supporting the client’s emotional needs.
Question 3 of 5
Which client should the charge nurse of the day surgery unit assign to a new graduate nurse in orientation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The myelogram client is stable, suitable for a new graduate, unlike hypotensive, confused, or ICU-bound clients requiring advanced skills.
Question 4 of 5
The 33-year-old client had a traumatic amputation of the right forearm as a result of a work-related injury. Which referral by the rehabilitation nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An occupational therapist helps with ADLs and prosthetic use post-amputation, the most relevant referral.
Question 5 of 5
The female client is complaining of dyspepsia, insomnia, and upper respiratory infection symptoms and has an elevated blood pressure. The client tells the nurse she recently moved to the area to care for an ill parent. Which statement best explains the client's clinical manifestations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Stress from caregiving may suppress immunity, causing URI, dyspepsia, insomnia, and hypertension. Psychosomatic illness is vague, gastric reflux is specific, and essential hypertension is premature.
