ATI LPN Fundamentals Exam 1 Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching about values to a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: This statement is correct because it is important that the nurse is aware of the client's values. The nurse should assess the client's values and preferences, and incorporate them into the plan of care. The nurse should also respect the client's right to self-determination and autonomy, and support the client in making informed decisions.
Choice A is incorrect because a nurse's personal values can and do influence ethical decisions; awareness of this influence is key to ethical practice.
Choice B is incorrect as value clarification is about identifying and prioritizing values, not clinical competency.
Choice D is incorrect because behaviors and actions express values, not define them.

Question 2 of 5

A charge nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about the advantages of electronic documentation. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Choice A is the correct answer. A portal is a secure online platform that enables clients to access their health information, communicate with their providers, request appointments, refill prescriptions, and more. This enhances client satisfaction, engagement, and empowerment.
Choice B is not necessarily an advantage specific to electronic documentation as same-day access depends on system design.
Choice C is incorrect as electronic documentation aims to reduce duplicate tests, not increase them.
Choice D is incorrect because it improves, not decreases, coordination of care.

Question 3 of 5

A charge nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about accessing a client's medical records. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Choice B is correct because a nurse can only access the records of clients they are actively caring for, as part of their professional duty and responsibility. This is necessary to provide safe and effective care and communicate with the healthcare team.
Choice A is incorrect as accessing records without a legitimate need violates privacy.
Choice C is incorrect because sharing with family requires client consent.
Choice D is incorrect as sharing with other clients breaches confidentiality.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is obtaining a health history from a client. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a nonmodifiable risk factor for disease?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Genetics is a nonmodifiable risk factor for disease because it is determined by inherited traits from the parents. Genetics can influence susceptibility, severity, and progression of diseases like cancer or diabetes. The nurse cannot change this, but can manage conditions.

Choices B, C, and D (sunbathing, smoking, unhealthy diet) are modifiable through behavior and lifestyle changes.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse on an inpatient mental health unit is assisting with the admission of a client who reports feeling depressed, sad, moody, and overly anxious. Which of the following assessments should the nurse make first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Choice B is correct because suicide risk is the most urgent assessment for a client reporting depression and anxiety. It indicates the client’s level of hopelessness and intent to harm themselves, requiring immediate intervention to ensure safety.
Choice A (psychiatric history) provides background but isn’t urgent.

Choices C and D (support systems, coping abilities) are secondary to ensuring safety.
