ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The student nurse accidentally punctured her finger with a contaminated needle. Which action should the student nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Allowing the site to bleed reduces pathogen load, the first step in needlestick protocol.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is discussing funeral arrangements with the family of a deceased client whose organs and tissues are being donated today. Which information should the nurse discuss with family?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Organ donation does not delay funeral timing, reassuring the family, per UNOS guidelines.
Question 3 of 5
The 85-year-old client diagnosed with severe end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has a chest x-ray incidentally revealing an eight (8)-cm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: An 8-cm AAA in an elderly COPD patient has high rupture risk; end-of-life discussions are appropriate given surgical risks.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is teaching the elderly client about taking oral iron supplements. Which intervention should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Taking iron between meals enhances absorption, as food reduces efficacy. Antacids interfere, doubling doses risks toxicity, and reclining is unnecessary.
Question 5 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse implement when discussing health promotion activities for a client with a German heritage who leads a sedentary lifestyle?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A sedentary lifestyle increases cardiovascular risks; identifying an exercise program promotes health, tailored to the client’s needs. Support groups, alcohol abstinence, and food restrictions are less prioritized without specific indications.
