ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client with type 2 diabetes mellitus asks the nurse, 'What does it matter if my glucose level is high? I don't feel bad.' Which statement by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: High glucose causes long-term eye and kidney damage, a clear, patient-centered explanation.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client in the rehabilitation unit who is hearing impaired, is anxious, and has elevated blood pressure. The client enjoys pet therapy but is allergic to dogs and cats. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A fish in a bowl provides a calming, visual form of pet therapy without allergy risks. Antihistamines pose risks, extra visits don’t address pet therapy, and a radio is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
The client has gastroesophageal reflux disease. Which HCP order should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Protonix is typically once daily for GERD; four times daily is excessive, warranting clarification.
Question 4 of 5
The rehabilitation nurse is caring for an elderly client who had a surgical repair of a fractured hip. The client states she misses her dog. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Pet therapy with a trained dog provides emotional support without logistical issues of bringing the client’s dog. TV shows, family visits, or empathy alone are less effective.
Question 5 of 5
The client with venous insufficiency tells the nurse, 'The doctor just told me about my disease and walked out of the room. What am I supposed to do?' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Leg elevation reduces edema in venous insufficiency, a practical teaching point addressing the client’s question.
