ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse writes the goal 'the client will list three (3) food sources of vitamin B12' for the client diagnosed with pernicious anemia. Which foods listed by the client indicate the goal has been met?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Liver, cheese, and eggs are rich in vitamin B12, essential for pernicious anemia treatment.
Question 2 of 5
The client is being evaluated to rule out Parkinson's disease. Which diagnostic test confirms this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Parkinson’s is diagnosed clinically; no definitive test (MRI, biopsy, or surgery) confirms it, per AAN guidelines.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis asks the nurse, 'Is it all right for me to wear this copper bracelet to help cure my arthritis?' Which statement by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Copper bracelets may provide placebo pain relief, and allowing their use supports autonomy if not harmful. Questioning, deferring to HCP, or dismissing are less supportive.
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?

Rationale: Cabbage leaves have documented anti-inflammatory properties, used in folk medicine. Calling it ignorance, placebo, or only moisture is dismissive or inaccurate.
