ATI Nutrition Proctored Exam 2019 Questions

Question 1 of 5

A client is following Seventh-Day Adventist dietary laws. Which of the following dietary guidelines should the nurse include in the plan of care?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Seventh-Day Adventists typically avoid stimulants like caffeine, so requesting that coffee be removed from meal trays is appropriate. Choice A is incorrect because it does not specifically relate to Seventh-Day Adventist dietary guidelines. Choice C is incorrect as pork is generally avoided in Seventh-Day Adventist dietary laws. Choice D is incorrect as it does not address the specific dietary preferences of Seventh-Day Adventist clients.

Question 2 of 5

A healthcare professional has just inserted an NG tube for a client who is to start enteral tube feedings. Which of the following actions should the healthcare professional take to verify tube placement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Obtaining an abdominal x-ray is the most accurate method to verify the correct placement of an NG tube. Measuring the tube length is not a reliable method to confirm placement as it may vary among individuals. Flushing the tube with water and auscultating the client's lungs are not definitive methods to ensure proper NG tube placement.

Question 3 of 5

A nurse is providing nutritional education to a client who is obese. The nurse should include in the information that which of the following gastrointestinal disorders is commonly associated with obesity?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly associated with obesity due to increased abdominal pressure and other factors. Peptic ulcer disease (Choice A) is not commonly associated with obesity. Celiac disease (Choice C) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption and is not directly linked to obesity. Crohn's disease (Choice D) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease and is not specifically associated with obesity.

Question 4 of 5

A client is prescribed a 1500-calorie diet. Thirty percent of the calories are to be derived from fat. How many grams of fat should the nurse tell the client to consume per day? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the grams of fat, first, determine the calories from fat by multiplying the total calorie intake (1500 calories) by the percentage of calories from fat (30%), which equals 450 calories from fat. Since 1 gram of fat is equivalent to 9 calories, divide the total calories from fat (450) by the calories in 1 gram of fat (9) to get the answer in grams, which is 50. Therefore, the client should consume 50 grams of fat per day. Choice A (21), Choice B (49), and Choice C (60) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.

Question 5 of 5

A client receiving chemotherapy treatments tells the nurse, 'I feel so nauseated after my treatments.' Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide the client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'All of the Above.' Common foods served cold, sipping fluids slowly throughout the day, and sitting up for 1 hr after eating meals can help manage nausea associated with chemotherapy. Eating common foods served cold can be easier on the stomach, sipping fluids slowly can prevent overwhelming the digestive system, and sitting up after meals can aid digestion. Choices A, B, and C all contribute to alleviating nausea and are appropriate instructions for the client.
