ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The public health nurse is discussing hepatitis with a client who is traveling to a third world country in one (1) month. Which recommendation should the nurse discuss with the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hepatitis A vaccination prevents fecal-oral transmission, common in developing countries, per CDC travel guidelines.
Question 2 of 5
The elderly female client of Mexican heritage is upset and tells the nurse the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) complimented her grandchild's hair. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In Mexican culture, complimenting a child may be linked to 'mal de ojo' (evil eye), causing distress. Educating the UAP about this belief prevents further upset. Asking why, ignoring, or notifying a psychologist does not address cultural sensitivity.
Question 3 of 5
Which priority problem should the clinic nurse identify for the client who is greater than ideal body weight and weighs 87 kg?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Obesity increases risks for complications (e.g., diabetes, CV
D), the priority problem per nursing assessment.
Question 4 of 5
Which assessment data indicate to the nurse the client has a conductive hearing loss?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Weber test lateralizing to the affected ear indicates conductive hearing loss, per otology standards.
Question 5 of 5
The client who has had a cold for the last week is complaining of congestion and a stuffy nose. The client has been using medicated nasal spray several times a day. Which information should the nurse teach the client about frequent use of nasal spray?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent use of decongestant nasal sprays (e.g., Afrin) causes rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa) due to vasoconstrictor overuse, requiring education. OTC sprays have risks, adverse reactions exist, and alternating sprays is not standard.
