ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The female client with a cold is prescribed warfarin (Coumadin), an anticoagulant, for chronic atrial fibrillation. The client calls the clinic and tells the nurse she is bleeding and bruising more than normal. Which information indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Echinacea may interact with warfarin, increasing bleeding risk, indicating a need for teaching about herb-drug interactions. Monthly INR, acetaminophen (safe with warfarin), and label reading are appropriate.
Question 2 of 5
The client with chronic pancreatitis is admitted with an acute exacerbation of the disease. Which laboratory result warrants immediate intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Elevated glucose in pancreatitis risks DKA or complications, requiring immediate insulin or HCP notification.
Question 3 of 5
Which assessment data indicate the treatment for the client diagnosed with bacterial meningitis is effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Neck flexibility without pain indicates reduced meningeal inflammation, a sign of effective meningitis treatment.
Question 4 of 5
The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) is bathing a client who is comatose and the radio is playing current rock music. The client has tachycardia and elevated blood pressure. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Baroque music (slow, calming) may reduce tachycardia and BP in a comatose client, per music therapy principles. No action ignores symptoms, medication is premature, and repositioning is unrelated.
Question 5 of 5
Which assessment data indicate to the nurse the client has a conductive hearing loss?
