ATI RN Custom Exams Set 3 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which nursing action(s) can result in disciplinary action by state boards of nursing?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. Disclosing client health information to unauthorized individuals like a client's neighbor (A) and improper delegation of tasks to unlicensed personnel (B) are serious violations of patient confidentiality and safety standards, which can lead to disciplinary action by state boards of nursing. Choice C, releasing client health information to the client's durable power of attorney, is not a violation as it involves sharing information with an authorized individual. Therefore, choices A and B are incorrect, making D the correct answer.
Question 2 of 5
A 31-year-old client is seeking contraceptive information. Before responding to the client's questions about contraceptives, the nurse obtains a health history. What factor in the client's history indicates to the nurse that oral contraceptives are contraindicated?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Smoking, especially in clients over 30, increases the risk of thromboembolic events, making oral contraceptives contraindicated. Choice A is incorrect as age alone is not a contraindication for oral contraceptives. Choice B is incorrect as having multiple pregnancies is not a contraindication for oral contraceptives. Choice D is incorrect as borderline hypertension is not a strict contraindication for oral contraceptives.
Question 3 of 5
A client is at risk for excess fluid volume. Which nursing intervention ensures the most accurate monitoring of the client's fluid status?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Weighing the client daily at the same time each day is the most accurate method for monitoring fluid balance. Changes in body weight can reflect fluid retention or loss. Measuring and recording fluid intake and output (Choice A) is important but may not provide immediate changes in fluid status. Assessing vital signs (Choice C) can offer some information but may not be as specific to fluid status as daily weighing. Checking the client's lungs for crackles (Choice D) is more related to assessing respiratory status rather than direct fluid monitoring.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is told in report that the client has aortic stenosis. Which anatomical position should the nurse auscultate to assess the murmur?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct anatomical position for auscultating the murmur of aortic stenosis is the second intercostal space, right sternal border. This is where the aortic valve is best auscultated, and the murmur of aortic stenosis is heard most clearly. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as the murmur of aortic stenosis is best heard at the second intercostal space on the right side of the sternum.
Question 5 of 5
During the admission interview, which question should the nurse ask the male client diagnosed with aorto-iliac disease?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: "Have you experienced any problems having sexual intercourse?" Aorto-iliac disease can lead to impaired blood flow to the pelvis and lower extremities, potentially causing sexual dysfunction. The other choices (A, B, and C) are less relevant to the specific effects of aorto-iliac disease on the client's health. While choice A may relate to discomfort, it does not directly address the impact of the disease on sexual function. Choices B and C are more general and do not specifically target the potential issues related to aorto-iliac disease.
