ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
The home health nurse is making the initial visit to a 42-year-old male client with terminal cancer. The client is first-generation American-Vietnamese and lives with his parents, wife, and three children. Which behavior would best promote a therapeutic nurse-client relationship?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In Vietnamese culture, respecting elders is key; addressing the eldest family member first builds trust. Yes/no questions limit communication, head touching may be offensive, and smiles may not indicate understanding.
Question 3 of 5
The female client is complaining of dyspepsia, insomnia, and upper respiratory infection symptoms and has an elevated blood pressure. The client tells the nurse she recently moved to the area to care for an ill parent. Which statement best explains the client's clinical manifestations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Stress from caregiving may suppress immunity, causing URI, dyspepsia, insomnia, and hypertension. Psychosomatic illness is vague, gastric reflux is specific, and essential hypertension is premature.
Question 4 of 5
The client with type 2 diabetes mellitus asks the nurse, 'What does it matter if my glucose level is high? I don't feel bad.' Which statement by the nurse is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: High glucose causes long-term eye and kidney damage, a clear, patient-centered explanation.
Question 5 of 5
Which medical client problem should the nurse include in the plan of care for a client diagnosed with cardiomyopathy?
