ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client is being evaluated to rule out Parkinson's disease. Which diagnostic test confirms this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Parkinson’s is diagnosed clinically; no definitive test (MRI, biopsy, or surgery) confirms it, per AAN guidelines.
Question 2 of 5
The client with a history of substance abuse presents to the emergency department complaining of right flank pain, and the urinalysis indicates microscopic blood. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Flank pain with hematuria suggests a renal issue (e.g., stones); pain medication is the priority.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with stomach cancer has developed disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). Which collaborative intervention should the nurse expect to implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Heparin prevents further clotting in DIC, a standard collaborative intervention, per ISTH guidelines.
Question 4 of 5
The client approaches the nurse about a weight-loss program. Which complementary therapy should the nurse suggest to assist the client's plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hatha yoga promotes physical activity and mindfulness, supporting weight loss. Music therapy, hypnotherapy, and Alexander technique are less directly linked to weight management.
Question 5 of 5
The client diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease is being discharged. Which nursing task can be delegated to a trained unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
