ATI Exit Exam 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to family members of a client who has dementia. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Establish a toileting schedule for the client. A toileting schedule helps manage incontinence and prevent accidents, promoting client dignity. Choice B is incorrect because clothing with buttons and zippers may be difficult for a client with dementia to manage independently. Choice C is incorrect as physical activity during the day is beneficial for clients with dementia. Choice D is incorrect as activities that increase sensory stimulation may be overwhelming for a client with dementia.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a mental health unit is planning room assignments for four clients. Which of the following clients should be closest to the nurse's station?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A client with bipolar disorder and impaired social interactions should be placed closest to the nurse's station for closer monitoring. Clients with bipolar disorder may experience mood swings, including manic episodes that can lead to impulsive behaviors or aggression. Placing such a client near the nurse's station allows for quick intervention and monitoring of their social interactions, especially if they are impaired. The other options, such as anxiety disorder, somatic symptom disorder, and depressive disorder, do not inherently require immediate proximity to the nurse's station based on the information provided.
Question 3 of 5
A client who has a new prescription for omeprazole is being taught by a nurse. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Taking omeprazole before meals is important as it improves the medication's effectiveness in reducing gastric acid production. Option B is incorrect as omeprazole should not be taken with antacids as it can interfere with its absorption. Option C is incorrect because omeprazole is usually recommended to be taken before breakfast, not at bedtime. Option D is incorrect as omeprazole is generally taken on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before a meal.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postoperative following a below-the-knee amputation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action the nurse should take is to place the client in a prone position for 30 minutes four times a day. This position helps prevent contractures after an amputation by stretching the hip flexors and preventing shortening of the residual limb. Keeping the residual limb flat on the bed (Choice A) may lead to contractures. Elevating the residual limb on a pillow (Choice B) can also cause contractures and hinder proper healing. Keeping the residual limb dependent (Choice D) is not recommended as it does not promote proper positioning and circulation.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new prescription for enoxaparin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is to inject the medication into the abdomen. Enoxaparin should be administered subcutaneously into the abdomen for optimal absorption. Choice A is incorrect as there is no specific interaction between enoxaparin and spinach. Choice B is incorrect as massaging the injection site after administration is not recommended and can increase bruising. Choice C is incorrect as enoxaparin injections should not be administered into the deltoid muscle.
