LPN Fundamentals of Nursing ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statement is NOT true about health maintenance organizations (HMOs)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: HMOs limit options (A), focus prevention (B), require referrals (D) 'allow any doctor' (C) isn't true, restrict choice, per model. C's freedom contradicts HMO rules, like Mr. Gary's limits, making it untrue.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
To initiate an intervention the nurse must be competent in three areas, which include:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Initiating interventions requires competence in knowledge (understanding the intervention's basis, e.g., why a drug works), function (applying it practically, e.g., administering it correctly), and specific skills (technical proficiency, e.g., IV insertion). This trio ensures safe, effective action e.g., giving insulin requires knowing its effects, how to deliver it, and injection technique. Experience and advanced education enhance competence but aren't core areas; they build on knowledge and skills. Skills, finances, and leadership are disjointed finances aren't a clinical competency, and leadership is broader than intervention execution. Leadership, autonomy, and skills mix role attributes with ability, missing function's practical focus. Knowledge, function, and specific skills form the essential framework for nurses to act confidently and competently, aligning with standards for intervention delivery in patient care.
