ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
The client comes to the emergency department complaining of pain in the right forearm. The nurse notes a large area of redness and edema over the forearm, and the client has an elevated temperature. Which condition should the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Redness, edema, and fever suggest cellulitis, a bacterial skin infection, the most likely diagnosis.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease is being discharged. Which nursing task can be delegated to a trained unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cleaning the room is within UAP scope, unlike teaching, IV removal, or lab monitoring.
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
Which assessment data indicate the treatment for the client diagnosed with bacterial meningitis is effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Neck flexibility without pain indicates reduced meningeal inflammation, a sign of effective meningitis treatment.
