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 complaining of nonspecific body aches, congestion, and coughing. The client's blood pressure is elevated. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: OTC medications (e.g., decongestants) may cause hypertension and symptoms, requiring assessment first. Salt reduction, HCP notification, and long-term education follow.
Question 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
The female client is complaining of dyspepsia, insomnia, and upper respiratory infection symptoms and has an elevated blood pressure. The client tells the nurse she recently moved to the area to care for an ill parent. Which statement best explains the client's clinical manifestations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Stress from caregiving may suppress immunity, causing URI, dyspepsia, insomnia, and hypertension. Psychosomatic illness is vague, gastric reflux is specific, and essential hypertension is premature.
Question 5 of 5
The client diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease is being discharged. Which nursing task can be delegated to a trained unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cleaning the room is within UAP scope, unlike teaching, IV removal, or lab monitoring.
