LPN Fundamentals of Nursing ATI Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following strategies can most help you as a nurse to enhance your ethical practice and client advocacy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Enhancing ethical practice and client advocacy hinges on examining and clarifying personal values, as this self-awareness shapes how nurses interpret and apply ethical principles. Understanding one's own biases, beliefs, and moral framework allows for consistent, fair decision-making that prioritizes client needs over personal judgment. Reading about religions or discussing peer beliefs broadens perspective but doesn't directly refine personal ethical grounding. A book on ethical decisions offers guidance, but without self-reflection, its lessons remain theoretical. By introspecting, nurses can align their actions with professional standards, like beneficence and justice, ensuring advocacy reflects client interests rather than external influences. This process strengthens the ability to navigate complex scenarios, such as refusing a family's demands, with clarity and confidence.
Question 2 of 5
When the nurse's assigned client is being discharged to another institution or a home setting where a visit by the community health nurse is required, which of the following information is most likely to be included in the discharge and referral summaries?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Discharge summaries most likely include unresolved problems and continuing needs like wound care to ensure seamless care transition. Financial assessments, physician orders, or new plans might supplement but aren't primary. This focus aids community nurses in prioritizing interventions, a key nursing handoff element.
Question 3 of 5
When assessing the client's hair, you are especially looking for pediculosis capitis. If it is present, which of the following signs will you most likely find?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pediculosis capitis (head lice) shows oval nits resembling dandruff on hairs, not crusts, lesions, or visible insects (lice move). Nurses identify this for treatment planning.
Question 4 of 5
In instructing a client on cholesterol, the nurse will teach which of the following things?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Most cholesterol is liver-synthesized, not diet-derived, and is needed, not destroyed intestinally. Nurses clarify this for dietary understanding.
Question 5 of 5
Which assessment finding indicates the need for assistive devices during mobilization and transfers?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A history of falls and unsteady gait signals the need for assistive devices like walkers during mobilization, highlighting instability and fall risk in transfers. Strong muscles, full joint motion, or upper body strength suggest less need, but past incidents outweigh these. Nurses assess this to tailor safety measures, ensuring devices support patients with proven mobility challenges, preventing further injuries effectively.
