ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) notices a strange amulet pinned to the client's gown and offers to remove it. The client does not want it removed. Which rationale should the nurse give the UAP for allowing the client to continue to wear the amulet?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The amulet likely provides emotional or spiritual support, respecting patient-centered care. Calling it superstitious, silly, or worthless is dismissive and culturally insensitive.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
The client diagnosed with chronic renal failure is receiving peritoneal dialysis. Which assessment by the nurse warrants immediate intervention?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cloudy dialysate suggests peritonitis, a serious complication requiring immediate intervention.
Question 4 of 5
The client diagnosed with a brain tumor who had radiation treatment and developed alopecia asks, 'When will my hair grow back?' Which statement is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Radiation-induced alopecia may be permanent or take months to regrow, depending on dose; honesty prepares the client.
Question 5 of 5
The client with anemia has been taking iron supplements. Which data would indicate to the nurse the treatment has been effective?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Improved ADL performance indicates increased energy from corrected anemia, an effective outcome. Iron-rich menus are educational, tarry stools are side effects, and nail dystrophy is a symptom.
