ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which client should the charge nurse on the substance abuse unit assign to the licensed practical nurse (LPN)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The stable alcoholic client is suitable for an LPN, unlike those with acute symptoms or psychiatric risks.
Question 2 of 5
The client who has had a cold for the last week is complaining of congestion and a stuffy nose. The client has been using medicated nasal spray several times a day. Which information should the nurse teach the client about frequent use of nasal spray?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Frequent use of decongestant nasal sprays (e.g., Afrin) causes rebound congestion (rhinitis medicamentosa) due to vasoconstrictor overuse, requiring education. OTC sprays have risks, adverse reactions exist, and alternating sprays is not standard.
Question 3 of 5
The client comes to the clinic complaining of itching on the left wrist near a wristwatch. The nurse notes an erythematous area along with pruritic vesicles around the left wrist. Which condition should the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Itching, erythema, and vesicles near a wristwatch suggest contact dermatitis, likely from nickel allergy.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is preparing a female client for surgery. The client tells the nurse that she is a Jehovah's Witness and is afraid that the staff will administer blood to her during the procedure while she is under anesthesia. Which is the nurse's best response to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Notifying the team and charting the refusal respects the client’s Jehovah’s Witness beliefs, ensuring no blood products are given. Other responses dismiss or challenge beliefs.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is teaching the client in a cardiac rehabilitation unit. Which dietary information should the nurse discuss with the client?
