ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The Mexican client requests a curandero to come to the hospital to visit. Which statement explains the role of the curandero in the Mexican culture?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A curandero is a traditional Mexican healer believed to have a divine gift, treating illnesses holistically. Massage, herbs, or witchcraft are roles of other practitioners (e.g., sobador, yerbero, brujo).
Question 2 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 3 of 5
Which expected outcome should be included in the plan of care for a postoperative client practicing guided imagery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Guided imagery reduces pain perception, so a decreased pain score is the expected outcome. WBC count, urine output, and dressing drainage are unrelated.
Question 4 of 5
Which data indicate to the nurse the client with end-stage liver failure is improving?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Decreased abdominal girth indicates reduced ascites, a sign of improved liver function.
Question 5 of 5
Which method of birth control would the nurse recommend for the homeless client who has had two (2) unplanned pregnancies?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Subdermal implants (e.g., Nexplanon) are long-acting, low-maintenance, and highly effective, ideal for a homeless client with adherence challenges. Cervical caps, pills, and injections require more effort.
