ATI RN Leadership Retake 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse witnesses two nurses having a loud discussion at the nurses' station about not wanting to care for a client who has drug-resistant tuberculosis. Which of the following actions should the charge nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Escorting the nurses to a private lounge de-escalates the public disruption and allows mediation. Taking over care avoids addressing the conflict, termination is extreme, and involving the supervisor is less immediate.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is updating a postoperative client's plan of care. The nurse should include which of the following as the priority interventions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using an incentive spirometer prevents atelectasis and promotes lung expansion, a priority post-surgery. Repositioning, hydration, and ambulation are important but secondary to respiratory care.
Question 3 of 5
A charge nurse is coordinating a consult with a wound care specialist for a client who has a pressure injury. Which of the following actions should the charge nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Scheduling the consult when the nurse can attend ensures continuity and direct communication. Delaying consults, providing subjective opinions, or arranging daily visits are less effective.
Question 4 of 5
A charge nurse is evaluating a newly licensed nurse and presents a performance improvement plan to the nurse for remediation. Which of the following outcomes should indicate to the charge nurse that the plan has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Performing all tasks as specified demonstrates successful implementation of the plan. Verbalizing understanding or attending classes shows engagement but not performance, and sharing the plan is irrelevant to outcomes.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse manager is reviewing isolation guidelines with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A cover gown for herpes simplex aligns with contact precautions. Alcohol cleansers are ineffective for C. difficile, N95 masks are for airborne precautions, and negative airflow is for infectious diseases, not protective isolation.
