ATI Fundamentals Quiz Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is conducting an interview with a client. Which example best demonstrates use of open-ended questions in an interview?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "How are you feeling?" This question is open-ended as it allows the client to express their feelings freely, leading to a more in-depth and meaningful conversation. The other choices are closed-ended questions that limit responses to yes or no answers, providing less opportunity for the client to elaborate or share important information. For example, choice A is closed-ended as it only requires a yes or no response.
Choice C is also closed-ended, as it prompts a simple yes or no answer.
Choice D is closed-ended as well, as it limits the response to yes or no. Open-ended questions like choice B encourage clients to share their thoughts and feelings openly, facilitating better communication and understanding between the nurse and the client.
Question 2 of 5
A school nurse is concerned about the almost skeletal appearance of one of the high school students. Although all of the following nutritional problems can occur in adolescents,which one is most often associated with a negative self-concept?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Anorexia nervosa. Adolescents with anorexia nervosa often have a distorted body image and an intense fear of gaining weight, leading to severe self-consciousness and a negative self-concept. This can result in extreme dietary restriction and excessive exercise to maintain a dangerously low body weight. Obesity (
A) is a nutritional problem associated with excess body fat, but it is not typically linked to negative self-concept in the same way as anorexia nervosa. Fad dieting (
B) may involve unhealthy eating habits but does not necessarily always result in a negative self-concept. Eating fast foods (
D) can contribute to poor nutrition and weight gain but is not directly associated with negative self-concept.
Question 3 of 5
Which type of play is most typical of the toddler stage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Parallel play.
Toddlers engage in parallel play where they play alongside others without interacting directly. This is typical as they are still developing social skills and independence. Cooperative play (
B) involves working together towards a common goal, which is more advanced. Solitary play (
C) is when a child plays alone. Associative play (
D) involves interacting with others but without a shared goal, which is more common in preschoolers.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is educating a group of middle adults about health promotion. What statement by one of the participants indicates the need for additional education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it states that one should eat a diet high in fats but low in fiber, which contradicts the principles of health promotion. A diet high in fats can lead to various health issues like obesity and heart disease, while a low-fiber diet can increase the risk of digestive problems.
Choices A, C, and D demonstrate positive health-promoting behaviors such as regular exercise, moderate alcohol consumption, and smoking cessation, respectively.
Therefore, B is the only statement that indicates the need for additional education on proper nutrition for middle adults.
Question 5 of 5
You're assessing a 4-month-old infant. Which finding below is a normal milestone that should be reached by this infant at this age?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Rolls from tummy to back. At 4 months, infants typically master this milestone as part of their gross motor development. This skill demonstrates strengthening of core muscles and coordination. Other choices are incorrect because:
A) Pincer grasp typically develops around 9-12 months;
C) Walking with support usually occurs around 9-12 months;
D) Rolling from back to tummy usually occurs before rolling from tummy to back, around 3-4 months.
