ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
The client with a closed head injury is admitted to the neurointensive care department following a motor-vehicle accident. Which goal is an appropriate short-term goal for the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Maintaining ICP <15 mm Hg is a critical short-term goal in head injury to prevent brain damage, per neuro ICU standards.
Question 3 of 5
Which client should the nurse consider at risk for developing acute renal failure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Anaphylaxis can cause shock, reducing renal perfusion and risking acute renal failure.
Question 4 of 5
Which question should the nurse ask the client who is being admitted to rule out infective endocarditis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Valve replacement is a major risk for endocarditis, making this the most relevant question.
Question 5 of 5
The client diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis asks the nurse, 'Is it all right for me to wear this copper bracelet to help cure my arthritis?' Which statement by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Copper bracelets may provide placebo pain relief, and allowing their use supports autonomy if not harmful. Questioning, deferring to HCP, or dismissing are less supportive.
