ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who is a recent immigrant to the country. The family is present in the room and one member of the family speaks English. Which should the nurse implement to complete the admission assessment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using a medical interpreter ensures accurate, confidential communication, per standards. Family interpreting risks bias, gestures are inadequate, and notifying HCP avoids responsibility.
Question 2 of 5
The client with a closed head injury is admitted to the neurointensive care department following a motor-vehicle accident. Which goal is an appropriate short-term goal for the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Maintaining ICP <15 mm Hg is a critical short-term goal in head injury to prevent brain damage, per neuro ICU standards.
Question 3 of 5
The client reports a twisting motion of the knee during a basketball game. The client is scheduled for arthroscopic surgery to repair the injury. Which information should the nurse teach the client about postoperative care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Routine pain medication manages post-arthroscopy discomfort, promoting recovery and mobility.
Question 4 of 5
The client with anemia has been taking iron supplements. Which data would indicate to the nurse the treatment has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Improved ADL performance indicates increased energy from corrected anemia, an effective outcome. Iron-rich menus are educational, tarry stools are side effects, and nail dystrophy is a symptom.
Question 5 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.
