ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
When interviewing the client of Hindu heritage, which information should the nurse obtain to plan culturally sensitive care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ayurveda, common in Hindu culture, may influence health practices (e.g., herbs, diet), guiding culturally sensitive care. Advance directives, interpreters, and allergies are general, not Hindu-specific.
Question 2 of 5
Which problem is priority for the 24-year-old client diagnosed with endometriosis who is admitted to the gynecological unit?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pain is the priority in endometriosis due to severe dysmenorrhea and pelvic discomfort, per Maslow’s hierarchy, impacting quality of life.
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 assessing an elderly client diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease notes purple, round, nontender areas on the client's back. Which question should the nurse ask the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Purple, round marks suggest cupping, a traditional therapy for respiratory issues, common in some cultures. Bruising, abuse, or client causation are less likely without evidence.
Question 5 of 5
The client has been diagnosed with bronchitis. The client asks the nurse, 'Can I use eucalyptus oil in steam and breathe it in deeply?' Which response by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Eucalyptus oil in steam may act as a bronchodilator, relieving bronchitis symptoms, supported by complementary medicine. Dismissing folk medicine, assuming interactions, or preferring topical use lacks evidence.
