ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client in the rehabilitation unit who is hearing impaired, is anxious, and has elevated blood pressure. The client enjoys pet therapy but is allergic to dogs and cats. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A fish in a bowl provides a calming, visual form of pet therapy without allergy risks. Antihistamines pose risks, extra visits don’t address pet therapy, and a radio is unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
After evaluating the meal tray of a Jewish client, the nurse notices the client ate none of the meal. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Determining why the client isn’t eating (e.g., kosher dietary needs, appetite) guides appropriate action, such as requesting a kosher meal. Family involvement, rabbi notification, or dietary requests are premature.
Question 3 of 5
The client is newly diagnosed with epilepsy. Which statement indicates the client needs clarification of the discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Driving is restricted until seizure-free (typically 6–12 months), indicating a need for further teaching.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse has taught Kegel exercises to the client who is para 5, gravida 5. Which information indicates the exercises have been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles, reducing stress incontinence, the primary goal in multiparous women.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse observes the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) taking vital signs on an unconscious client. Which action by the UAP warrants intervention by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Oral temperature in an unconscious client risks injury or inaccuracy; rectal or tympanic is preferred, warranting intervention.
