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 client with a history of substance abuse presents to the emergency department complaining of right flank pain, and the urinalysis indicates microscopic blood. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Flank pain with hematuria suggests a renal issue (e.g., stones); pain medication is the priority.
Question 3 of 5
The home health-care nurse is visiting an elderly African American female client who is talking loudly. The client weighs 102 kg, is 5'4'' tall, and has a BP of 154/98. The client lives with her daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Obesity (BMI ~38) and hypertension (154/98) are health risks; discussing weight loss addresses these priorities. Loud speech may be cultural, not anger; extended eye contact may be disrespectful; and discussing care with family requires consent.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing the client newly diagnosed with asthma for discharge. Which data indicate the teaching about the peak flowmeter has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Red zone requires quick-relief medication and no exercise, indicating correct peak flowmeter use.
Question 5 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.
