ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which medical client problem should the nurse include in the plan of care for a client diagnosed with cardiomyopathy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cardiomyopathy impairs cardiac output, leading to heart failure, the primary client problem.
Question 2 of 5
The client is admitted to the intensive care unit diagnosed with rule-out adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The client is receiving 10 L/min of oxygen via nasal cannula. Which arterial blood gases indicate the client does not have ARDS?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Normal ABGs (pH 7.38, PaO2 82) rule out ARDS, which causes severe hypoxemia (PaO2 <60).
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing the client with psoriasis. Which data support this diagnosis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Psoriasis presents as red plaques with silvery scales, the hallmark clinical finding.
Question 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
The client approaches the nurse about a weight-loss program. Which complementary therapy should the nurse suggest to assist the client's plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Hatha yoga promotes physical activity and mindfulness, supporting weight loss. Music therapy, hypnotherapy, and Alexander technique are less directly linked to weight management.
