ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client with a deficiency of the immune system questions the nurse about the use of ginseng. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ginseng should not be used continuously (>2 months) due to risks like hypertension or insomnia, especially in immunocompromised clients. Daily dosing, caffeine, or no contraindications are inaccurate.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
Which assessment data would make the nurse suspect the client has cancer of the bladder?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gross painless hematuria is the hallmark symptom of bladder cancer, per AUA guidelines.
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 teaching a class on sexually transmitted diseases to high school sophomores. Which information should be included in the discussion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Unprotected sex increases STD risk (e.g., HIV, chlamydia), a key teaching point for adolescents, per CDC guidelines.
