ATI Fundamentals LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which one of the following is the commonest side effects of copper-T :
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Copper-T, an intrauterine device (IU
D), has known side effects, with bleeding being the most frequent. Pain (choice
A) occurs, especially during insertion or cramping, but it's typically transient. Bleeding (choice
B), including heavier periods or spotting, affects most users due to copper's inflammatory effect on the endometrium, often leading to discontinuation. Perforation (choice
C) is rare, occurring in <1/1000 insertions, and ectopic pregnancy (choice
D) is a serious but uncommon risk, as IUDs primarily prevent intrauterine implantation. B is correct, as clinical data consistently show bleeding as the commonest complaint. Nurses must educate patients on expected bleeding patterns, monitor for anemia, and assess when intervention (e.g., removal) is needed, ensuring informed use of this contraceptive method.
Question 2 of 5
Growth chart is also known as:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Growth charts track child development. New Ballard Scale (choice
A) assesses gestational age, not growth. Road to health chart (choice
B), per WHO, plots weight-for-age, monitoring nutrition and health longitudinally. Apgar Score (choice
C) evaluates newborns at birth, not growth. GCS Score (choice D, Glasgow Coma Scale) assesses consciousness. B is correct, synonymous with growth charts. Nurses use it to detect malnutrition, educate caregivers, and guide interventions, ensuring child well-being.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following cannot be corrected by dialysis:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dialysis corrects biochemical imbalances in renal failure. Elevated creatinine (choice
A) is cleared, reducing toxicity. Hyperkalemia (choice
B) is adjusted by potassium removal. Anemia (choice
C) persists, as dialysis doesn't replace erythropoietin or red cells, requiring separate treatment. Hypernatremia (choice
D) is managed by fluid/sodium balance. C is correct, dialysis limitation. Nurses monitor hemoglobin, administer erythropoietin, and coordinate care, addressing anemia beyond dialysis.
Question 4 of 5
In what phase of Nurse patient relationship does a nurse review the client's medical records thereby learning as much as possible about the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the Pre-Orientation phase (
A), the nurse reviews records to gather data about the client before meeting, preparing for interaction. Orientation (
B) begins with the first encounter, building trust. Working (
C) involves goal-focused collaboration, and Termination (
D) ends the relationship. Pre-Orientation is distinct as it's preparatory, not interactive, aligning with Peplau's model where understanding the client starts pre-contact, making A correct.
Question 5 of 5
Rommel told Budek, 'Do you think Im crazy?' Budek responded, 'Do you think your crazy?' Budek uses what example of therapeutic communication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Budek's 'Do you think you're crazy?' is reflecting (
A), redirecting Rommel's question to explore his feelings or self-perception. Restating (
B) repeats verbatim (e.g., 'You think you're crazy?'). Exploring (
C) digs deeper (e.g., 'Why do you ask?'). Clarification (
D) seeks meaning. Reflecting, per Peplau, fosters self-reflection, apt for Rommel's doubt, making A correct.
