ATI Leadership Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is a crucial issue a healthcare worker in the late industrialization era would need to address to promote health?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Reducing the spread of infection. In the late industrialization era, poor sanitation and overcrowding led to rampant infectious diseases. Healthcare workers needed to focus on infection control measures to prevent the spread of diseases. This includes promoting hand hygiene, proper waste disposal, and sanitation practices. By addressing the spread of infection, healthcare workers could significantly improve public health outcomes.
Incorrect choices:
B: Promoting physical activity - While physical activity is important for overall health, in the late industrialization era, infectious diseases were more pressing issues.
C: Educating on medication administration - Although important, medication administration was not a primary concern in an era where infectious diseases were rampant.
D: Promoting child safety in transportation - This issue is important for child safety but was not as crucial as addressing the spread of infectious diseases in the late industrialization era.
Question 2 of 5
A healthcare professional walks into the nurse's station and sees several staff members looking at the electronic medical record for a celebrity client on another unit. Which of the following actions should the healthcare professional take first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct action is A: remind the staff members that this is a breach of confidentiality. This is the first step because addressing the immediate breach is crucial to prevent further unauthorized access to the client's information. It directly addresses the unethical behavior and educates staff on the importance of patient confidentiality.
Choice B (discussing with the unit manager) is not the first step as it may delay addressing the breach directly.
Choice C (requesting an administrative restriction) is not immediate and may not prevent the current unauthorized access.
Choice D (preparing a report for the ethics committee) is not the first step as it involves a formal process and may not address the immediate breach.
Question 3 of 5
The patient tells the nurse that his insurance company requires him to pick a primary provider and asks what that means. The nurse explains that a primary provider means choosing what?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A primary provider is typically a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant who is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the patient's comprehensive healthcare needs. This healthcare professional serves as the main point of contact for the patient, managing preventive care, treatments, referrals to specialists, and overall health management.
Choice B, a staff nurse, is incorrect as a primary provider is usually a more advanced healthcare professional managing comprehensive care.
Choice C, one insurance provider, is incorrect as a primary provider refers to a healthcare professional, not an insurance company.
Choice D, a hospital, is incorrect as the primary provider is an individual healthcare professional responsible for coordinating the patient's care, not a healthcare facility.
Question 4 of 5
Caring means responding to others as unique individuals, sensing their emotions, and accepting them as they are, unconditionally. This response accepts the patient's choice without condemning or frightening them.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it aligns with the definition of caring provided in the question stem. By including the patient in planning care, the nurse demonstrates a genuine concern for the patient's needs and preferences, which is a key aspect of caring. This approach acknowledges the patient as a unique individual and respects their autonomy.
Choice A is incorrect because while finding a way for the patient to see the dog may be a kind gesture, it does not directly relate to the core concept of caring as described in the question.
Choice B is incorrect as it mentions the importance of a nonjudgmental attitude, which is indeed a part of transpersonal caring but does not directly address the specific aspect of including the patient in planning care.
Choice D is incorrect as it introduces a different concept of curative nursing care, which is not relevant to the definition of caring provided in the question.
Question 5 of 5
A client with a terminal illness is concerned about performing self-care after discharge. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Your case manager will coordinate the resources you will need. This statement reassures the client that a professional will help organize the necessary support services. A social worker (
A) may not specifically address self-care needs. Going to a skilled nursing facility (
B) may not be necessary if resources can be coordinated at home. Hospice care (
D) is typically for end-of-life care and may not address the client's concerns about self-care after discharge.
