ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse is assessing the client with a pneumothorax who has a closed-chest drainage system. Which data indicate the client's condition is stable?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Fluctuation in the water-seal compartment indicates a patent system, a sign of stability in pneumothorax.

Question 2 of 5

Which diagnostic test should the nurse expect to be ordered for the client who has a nevus which is purple and brown with irregular borders?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A suspicious nevus with irregular borders requires a skin biopsy to rule out melanoma, the standard diagnostic test.

Question 3 of 5

The client who has had a cold for the last week is complaining of congestion and a stuffy nose. The client has been using medicated nasal spray several times a day. Which information should the nurse teach the client about frequent use of nasal spray?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Frequent use of decongestant nasal sprays (e.g., Afrin) causes rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa) due to vasoconstrictor overuse, requiring education. OTC sprays have risks, adverse reactions exist, and alternating sprays is not standard.

Question 4 of 5

The unlicensed assistive personnel asked the wound care nurse why a client has cabbage leaves on the wound. Which statement would be the best response by the nurse?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Cabbage leaves have documented anti-inflammatory properties, used in folk medicine. Calling it ignorance, placebo, or only moisture is dismissive or inaccurate.

Question 5 of 5

The nurse is preparing a female client for surgery. The client tells the nurse that she is a Jehovah's Witness and is afraid that the staff will administer blood to her during the procedure while she is under anesthesia. Which is the nurse's best response to the client?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Notifying the team and charting the refusal respects the client’s Jehovah’s Witness beliefs, ensuring no blood products are given. Other responses dismiss or challenge beliefs.
