ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching a class on sexually transmitted diseases to high school sophomores. Which information should be included in the discussion?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Unprotected sex increases STD risk (e.g., HIV, chlamydia), a key teaching point for adolescents, per CDC guidelines.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse arranges for a dance movement therapist to lead a group session for clients with osteoarthritis. Which statement best describes the rationale for this intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Dance therapy promotes endorphin release, reducing pain perception in osteoarthritis. Bonding is secondary, synovial fluid increase is inaccurate, and pain reduction is less direct.
