ATI Nutrition Proctored Exam 2019 Questions
Question 1 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.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is completing a nutritional assessment of an adult female client. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the client is at an increased risk of developing cancer?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because limiting alcohol consumption to 2 drinks per day is still above the recommended limit for reducing cancer risk. The recommended limit for women is 1 drink per day to lower the risk of developing cancer. Choices A, B, and D are not indicative of an increased risk of developing cancer as they all align with a healthy diet and lifestyle, which can actually help reduce the risk of cancer.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching about food allergies to the parents of a toddler. Which of the following foods should the nurse identify as highest risk for allergies in toddlers?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Eggs. Eggs are one of the most common food allergens in toddlers and should be introduced carefully. Milk (choice B) is also a common allergen but is typically introduced earlier in a child's diet. Bananas (choice C) and citrus fruits (choice D) are less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to eggs.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is developing strategies to promote increased food intake for an older adult client. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct intervention for promoting increased food intake for an older adult client is to offer finger foods at mealtime. Finger foods are easier for older adults to manage, making eating less cumbersome and more enjoyable, which can help increase overall food intake. Providing sugar substitutes (Choice A) may not necessarily increase appetite and could have negative health effects. Eating three large meals per day (Choice B) may be overwhelming and not suitable for older adults who may prefer smaller, more frequent meals. While providing entertainment (Choice C) during meals can be beneficial in some cases, it may not directly contribute to increased food intake as effectively as offering finger foods.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to teach a group of clients about vitamins and minerals. The nurse should include in the teaching that which of the following minerals is necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Corrected Question: A nurse is preparing to teach a group of clients about vitamins and minerals. The nurse should include in the teaching that which of the following minerals is necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses? Correct Answer: Calcium Rationale: Calcium is crucial for nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. It plays a vital role in the proper functioning of the nervous system. Phosphorus is important for bone health and energy metabolism, not nerve impulse transmission. Chloride is an electrolyte important for fluid balance but not directly involved in nerve impulse transmission. Zinc is essential for immune function and wound healing but not specifically required for nerve impulse transmission.
