ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The home health nurse is making the initial visit to a 42-year-old male client with terminal cancer. The client is first-generation American-Vietnamese and lives with his parents, wife, and three children. Which behavior would best promote a therapeutic nurse-client relationship?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In Vietnamese culture, respecting elders is key; addressing the eldest family member first builds trust. Yes/no questions limit communication, head touching may be offensive, and smiles may not indicate understanding.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
The nurse is teaching a 28-year-old client who was recently prescribed birth control pills. Which statement by the client indicates teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Antibiotics (e.g., rifampin) reduce oral contraceptive efficacy, requiring backup methods, indicating effective teaching. Missing pills, patch preference, or ring replacement are incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
The client has been diagnosed with bronchitis. The client asks the nurse, 'Can I use eucalyptus oil in steam and breathe it in deeply?' Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Eucalyptus oil in steam may act as a bronchodilator, relieving bronchitis symptoms, supported by complementary medicine. Dismissing folk medicine, assuming interactions, or preferring topical use lacks evidence.

Which interventions should the emergency department nurse implement for a client who has an AP of 122 and a BP of 80/50? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B,D,E
Rationale: IV access, warming, and type/crossmatch address hypotension and potential blood loss; reverse Trendelenburg or admission are inappropriate.
