ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing the client newly diagnosed with asthma for discharge. Which data indicate the teaching about the peak flowmeter has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Red zone requires quick-relief medication and no exercise, indicating correct peak flowmeter use.
Question 2 of 5
The client with a history of substance abuse presents to the emergency department complaining of right flank pain, and the urinalysis indicates microscopic blood. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Flank pain with hematuria suggests a renal issue (e.g., stones); pain medication is the priority.
Question 3 of 5
Which intervention should the circulating nurse implement for the preoperative elderly client who is anxious and diaphoretic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Soft, slow music reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation in the OR, safe for an elderly client. Rapid breaths worsen anxiety, talking may not suffice, and opening doors breaks asepsis.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing to make morning rounds. Which client should the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Chest pain, even if possibly dietary, may indicate a cardiac issue, requiring immediate assessment per ABCs. Cultural decision-making, pain refusal, and anger are less urgent.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching a 28-year-old client who was recently prescribed birth control pills. Which statement by the client indicates teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Antibiotics (e.g., rifampin) reduce oral contraceptive efficacy, requiring backup methods, indicating effective teaching. Missing pills, patch preference, or ring replacement are incorrect.
