ATI Capstone Exam 2 Final Questions
Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is admitting a client who has bipolar disorder and who is in the manic phase. Which of the following room assignments should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A private, quiet room minimizes stimulation, reducing agitation in mania. Proximity to exercise, day, or snack areas increases noise and activity, potentially worsening symptoms.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching self-management to a client who has hepatitis B. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Resting frequently helps manage fatigue in hepatitis B, supporting recovery. High-protein diets strain the liver, blood donation is prohibited due to transmission risk, and acetaminophen requires caution to avoid liver damage.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who reports an increase in anxiety. Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Asking about recent events encourages the client to share, aiding understanding and support. Dismissing feelings, suggesting therapy immediately, or comparing anxiety invalidates the client.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse is discussing the phases of community response to disaster with nursing staff. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the heroic phase of disaster response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The heroic phase involves immediate, intense efforts where personnel risk their safety to save lives and provide aid. Normalcy returning is the reconstruction phase, exhaustion marks the disillusionment phase, and survivors sharing stories is the honeymoon phase.
