ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is admitting a female client to the medical-surgical unit when the client tells the nurse she takes many vitamins to keep her healthy. Which statement is the nurse's most appropriate response to the information provided by the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informing the HCP about vitamins ensures safe prescribing, as some vitamins (e.g., A,
D) interact with medications. Dismissing vitamins, focusing on water-soluble vitamins, or assuming deficiency is inaccurate.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client about relaxation techniques. Which interventions should be included in the teaching? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C
Rationale: Progressive muscle relaxation, soothing music, and sensory guided imagery are evidence-based relaxation techniques. Eliminating all stress is unrealistic, and journal insistence is not universal.
Question 3 of 5
Which form of complementary therapy should the nurse encourage as a relaxation technique for the anxious elderly client admitted for surgery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Deep breathing is a simple, effective relaxation technique for elderly clients, reducing anxiety pre-surgery. Meditation may be complex, Rolfing is physical manipulation, and scented candles pose fire risks.
Question 4 of 5
The client calls the clinic first thing in the morning and tells the nurse, 'I have been vomiting and having diarrhea since last night.' Which response is appropriate for the nurse to make?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A clear liquid diet prevents dehydration in acute vomiting/diarrhea, a safe initial recommendation.
Question 5 of 5
The client is admitted to the intensive care unit diagnosed with rule-out adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The client is receiving 10 L/min of oxygen via nasal cannula. Which arterial blood gases indicate the client does not have ARDS?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Normal ABGs (pH 7.38, PaO2 82) rule out ARDS, which causes severe hypoxemia (PaO2 <60).
