ATI Exit Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who has schizophrenia and experiences auditory hallucinations. The client states, 'It's hard not to listen to the voices.' Which of the following questions should the nurse ask?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'D: What helps you ignore what you are hearing?' Asking the client about coping mechanisms is essential in assisting them to manage auditory hallucinations. Choice A is incorrect as questioning the reality of the voices may not be helpful. Choice B delves into the cause of the hallucinations rather than coping strategies. Choice C focuses on isolation rather than addressing the client's coping mechanisms.
Question 2 of 5
When preparing education materials for a client, what technique should be used to make the information accessible?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is to use a 7th-grade reading level. This technique ensures that the information provided is accessible and easily understandable for most clients. Using simple language helps to avoid confusion and ensures that the message is conveyed clearly. Emphasizing important information using bold lettering (Choice A) can be helpful but may not improve overall accessibility. Avoiding cartoons in the material (Choice C) is not directly related to making information accessible. Using words with three or four syllables (Choice D) can complicate the material and hinder understanding, making it less accessible.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new prescription for metformin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because taking metformin with food helps reduce gastrointestinal discomfort, a common side effect of the medication. Choice A is incorrect as metformin is usually taken with meals to minimize side effects. Choice B is incorrect because metformin does not typically cause urine discoloration. Choice C is incorrect as metformin is associated with weight loss or weight neutrality rather than weight gain.
Question 4 of 5
A client in active labor is being assessed by a nurse. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a baseline FHR of 170/min indicates fetal tachycardia, which needs further evaluation. Choice A about contractions lasting 80 seconds is within the normal range for active labor. Choice C, early decelerations in the FHR, are generally considered benign and do not require immediate reporting. Choice D, a temperature of 37.4°C (99.3°F), falls within normal limits for a laboring client and does not warrant immediate reporting.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the laboratory results of a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation. The nurse should report which of the following laboratory results to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A hemoglobin level of 11.2 g/dL is below the normal range for a client who is 36 weeks gestation and should be reported to the provider.
