ATI Leadership Practice A Questions
Question 1 of 5
Upon noticing a visitor who is loud and active and carrying a gun on the unit where you are in charge, what should you do immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In a situation where a visitor arrives on the unit with a gun, it is essential to prioritize the safety of patients and staff. Immediately notifying security with all the relevant details is the correct course of action. Asking the visitor to leave or engaging them could escalate the situation and put everyone at risk. Similarly, requesting the gun from the visitor directly is not advisable as it could lead to a dangerous confrontation. By alerting security promptly, you enable trained professionals to handle the situation safely and effectively, minimizing risks and ensuring the safety of all individuals involved.
Question 2 of 5
There are several pitfalls that should be avoided when using social media of any type. For example, a nurse or student could be found guilty of libel in which of the following scenarios?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Statements about individuals encountered in one’s professional or educational life that could damage that person’s reputation may be slander or libel and can be prosecuted as quasi-intentional torts.
Question 3 of 5
A client is discussing the use of herbal supplements for health promotion with a nurse. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of herbal supplement use?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Ginkgo biloba is commonly used to improve blood circulation and relieve symptoms of cognitive disorders like dementia. The other choices are incorrect because echinacea is used to boost the immune system, feverfew is used for migraines and headaches, and ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and aiding digestion, not memory improvement.
Question 4 of 5
In order to assist an older diabetic patient to engage in moderate daily exercise, which action is most important for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is to determine what type of activities the patient enjoys. This approach is crucial as it helps in personalizing the exercise plan to the patient's preferences, making it more likely for them to adhere to it. Choice B is incorrect because focusing on self-esteem may not directly motivate the patient to engage in exercise. Choice C, although important, may not be the initial step as understanding the patient's preferences comes first. Choice D limits the patient's autonomy by not involving them in the decision-making process.

The client is alert and oriented and tells the RN he wants to leave the hospital now and not receive further treatment. Which of the following actions by the RN would be considered false imprisonment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The RN tells the client he is not allowed to leave until the physician has released him would be considered false imprisonment.
