LPN Fundamentals of Nursing ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse mediated a disagreement over Mr. Gary's care plan. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Mediating a care plan disagreement is conflict resolution (A) managing disputes, per definition. Command (B) hierarchy, policy (C) rules, informatics (D) tech not conflict-specific. A fits the nurse's action for Mr. Gary, making it correct.
Question 2 of 5
Comprehensive, individualized care provided by the same nurse throughout the period of care refers to
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Primary nursing assigns one nurse to oversee a patient's entire care, ensuring continuity and personalized attention from admission to discharge. Team nursing divides tasks among a group, reducing individual accountability. Home health nursing occurs outside hospitals, and critical care nursing focuses on acute conditions, not necessarily continuity. Primary nursing fosters trust, consistency, and tailored interventions, improving outcomes by aligning care with the patient's unique needs over time.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following situation is considered as an intentional tort?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Divulging private patient information to the media is an intentional tort breach of confidentiality requiring deliberate action to disclose. Miscounting gauze, causing burns, or failing to monitor are negligence, unintentional failures in care. Intentional torts involve willful acts violating patient rights, and nurses must safeguard privacy under HIPAA and ethical codes, facing legal consequences if breached.
Question 4 of 5
Treatment of hypothermia by active core warming is done by all except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Active core warming treats severe hypothermia by directly heating internal systems: airway rewarming (warm humidified air), extracorporeal rewarming (blood warming). Passive external rewarming (blankets) relies on body heat, not active core methods. Nurses use active techniques in critical cases, rapidly raising core temperature to prevent organ failure, contrasting with passive's slower effect.
Question 5 of 5
During a change-of-shift report, it would be important for the nurse relinquishing responsibility for the care of the patient to communicate. Which of the following facts to the nurse assuming responsibility for the care of the patient?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The removal of the nasogastric tube (NGT) 2 hours ago is the most critical update during a shift change, as it alters the patient's care plan impacting nutrition, medication delivery, and monitoring needs (e.g., for nausea or aspiration). The oncoming nurse must know this to adjust interventions and assess post-removal effects, ensuring continuity. A resolved headache is useful but less urgent, lacking immediate care implications. A negative barium enema from 3 days ago is historical, not current, and less relevant to immediate needs. Family visits are psychosocially notable but don't directly guide clinical action. The NGT removal's recency and impact make it the priority, enabling seamless, safe care transition per nursing standards.
