ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client using contraceptive foam for birth control has not had her menses for two (2) months. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Amenorrhea for two months with contraceptive foam (less effective than other methods) suggests possible pregnancy, requiring a pregnancy test first. Vaginal exam, urine analysis, and vital signs are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The client is diagnosed with aortic stenosis. Which assessment data indicate a complication is occurring?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pink, frothy sputum and DOE suggest pulmonary edema, a complication of aortic stenosis due to heart failure.
Question 3 of 5
Which diagnostic test should the nurse expect to be ordered for the client who has a nevus which is purple and brown with irregular borders?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A suspicious nevus with irregular borders requires a skin biopsy to rule out melanoma, the standard diagnostic test.
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.
Question 5 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,
D) interact with medications. Dismissing vitamins, focusing on water-soluble vitamins, or assuming deficiency is inaccurate.
