ATI Fundamentals Proctored Exam LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
What can you expect from Marianne, who is currently at the ONSET stage of fever?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fever's onset (chill phase) features vasoconstriction e.g., pale, cold skin as the body raises its setpoint. Hot, flushed skin (flush phase), thirst (later), or convulsions (hyperpyrexia) follow. Nurses expect this initial response e.g., shivering in Marianne, guiding warming measures, per fever physiology.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following do not correctly correlates the increase BP of Ms. Aida, a 70 year old diabetic?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Females over 65 often have higher BP e.g., post-menopause than males, not lower, contradicting Aida's rise. Diabetes (vessel damage), morning peaks (circadian), and African risk (genetics) align. Nurses note this e.g., in elderly diabetics for accurate hypertension management.
Question 3 of 5
How many minutes are allowed to pass if the client had engaged in strenuous activities, smoked or ingested caffeine before taking his/her BP?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: After activity, smoking, or caffeine e.g., raising BP 30 minutes rest ensures accuracy, per AHA guidelines. Shorter times (5-15 min) risk false highs. Nurses enforce this e.g., post-exercise delay for reliable readings, standard in clinical assessment protocols.
Question 4 of 5
These are nursing intervention that requires knowledge, skills and expertise of multiple health professionals.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Interdependent interventions rely on multiple health professionals' expertise, such as a nurse, physiotherapist, and doctor co-managing a stroke patient's rehab plan. Dependent actions follow orders (e.g., giving meds), independent ones are nurse-initiated (e.g., repositioning), and 'intradependent' isn't a term. For instance, adjusting a patient's diet with a nutritionist reflects shared knowledge, ensuring holistic care. This collaboration, common in complex cases, leverages diverse skills, enhancing outcomes like mobility or nutrition, a hallmark of modern interdisciplinary healthcare teams.
Question 5 of 5
What type of patient care model is the most common for student nurses and private duty nurses?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Total patient care, where one nurse handles all client needs like meds and hygiene is prevalent for student nurses and private duty nurses. Students benefit from focused, hands-on learning (e.g., managing a post-op patient solo), while private nurses provide personalized attention (e.g., home care). Team nursing splits tasks, primary nursing ensures continuity, and case management coordinates, but total care's simplicity suits training and one-on-one settings. Its direct accountability fosters skill mastery, widely used in educational and private contexts.
