ATI Nutrition Proctored Exam 2019 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client with a body mass index of 28 is seeking dietary advice. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Referring the client to a weight-loss support group is the most appropriate action for a client with a body mass index of 28. This action can provide the necessary support, guidance, and motivation to help the client achieve their weight loss goals. Encouraging the client to continue their current daily caloric intake (Choice A) may not address the need for weight loss. Recommending a total fiber intake of 12g per day (Choice B) is important for overall health but may not directly address weight loss. Advising the client to add 500 calories per day to their diet (Choice C) would not be beneficial for weight loss in this scenario.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about strategies to prevent constipation. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Eating foods high in fiber increases stool bulk and promotes easier elimination, thus preventing constipation. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Drinking water is important, but the emphasis should be on high-fiber foods. Mineral oil is not a recommended first-line treatment for constipation, and skipping meals can disrupt regular bowel movements, potentially leading to constipation.
Question 3 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 5 of 5
A nurse is developing a plan of care for a client who has anorexia nervosa. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Encouraging the client to participate in developing a system of rewards is an essential part of the plan of care for a client with anorexia nervosa. This action can help motivate and engage the client in their treatment plan, promoting a sense of achievement and progress. Choice B, arranging for someone to remain with the client for 30 minutes after meals, may not address the underlying issues related to anorexia nervosa and could potentially disrupt the client's independence. Choice C, offering a selection of beverages at each meal, is not directly related to addressing the client's condition of anorexia nervosa. Choice D, informing the client about an expected weight gain, could increase anxiety and may not be appropriate without considering the client's individual progress and readiness.
