ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which client should the charge nurse of the day surgery unit assign to a new graduate nurse in orientation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The myelogram client is stable, suitable for a new graduate, unlike hypotensive, confused, or ICU-bound clients requiring advanced skills.
Question 2 of 5
Which diagnostic procedure does the nurse anticipate being ordered for the 27-year-old female client who is reporting irregular menses and complaining of lower left abdominal pain during menses?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A pelvic sonogram evaluates pelvic pathology (e.g., ovarian cysts, endometriosis) causing irregular menses and pain, the most likely test.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is incorporating complementary therapies in the routines of residents of a long-term care facility. Which information should the nurse consider when matching the clients with the therapy? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,E
Rationale: Matching therapies requires considering client preferences, likes/dislikes, therapy benefits, and physical/mental abilities for effectiveness and adherence. Significant other’s concerns are secondary unless they impact care.
Question 4 of 5
The client with a deficiency of the immune system questions the nurse about the use of ginseng. Which information should the nurse teach the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ginseng should not be used continuously (>2 months) due to risks like hypertension or insomnia, especially in immunocompromised clients. Daily dosing, caffeine, or no contraindications are inaccurate.
Question 5 of 5
The client using contraceptive foam for birth control has not had her menses for two (2) months. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Amenorrhea for two months with contraceptive foam (less effective than other methods) suggests possible pregnancy, requiring a pregnancy test first. Vaginal exam, urine analysis, and vital signs are secondary.
