ATI NURS 252 Leadership Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client whose informed consent form has been signed in preparation for a procedure. The client states, 'I have decided not to have the procedure.' Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The client’s autonomy to withdraw consent must be respected. Informing the provider ensures the procedure is halted. Explaining risks, discussing alternatives, or reminding about the signed consent do not prioritize the client’s decision.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following actions made by the nurse manager best exemplifies Lewin's Refreezing Stage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Creating an incentive program to reward staff for adhering to new policies is part of the refreezing stage, as it helps solidify and reinforce new behaviors within the team. Gathering data, evaluating forces, and hosting seminars are part of the unfreezing stage, focused on preparing for change.
Question 3 of 5
A charge nurse is providing an in-service to a group of staff members on incivility. Which of the following situations should the nurse include as an example of lateral violence?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Lateral violence occurs between peers, such as a nurse rolling their eyes at another nurse. Demeaning tones or rudeness to subordinates or superiors represent vertical violence, and refusal to help is unprofessional but not lateral violence.
Question 4 of 5
A mediator suggests that the nurse manager and staff members establish a group agreement before resolving conflicts. It is important to have agreements about how team members will work together because:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Agreements set clear behavioral expectations, preventing misunderstandings and conflicts. Assuming dishonesty, justifying negative interactions, or distinguishing team members are not the primary purposes of agreements.
Question 5 of 5
An RN on a behavioral health unit is assessing a client. The RN plans to delegate part of the nursing process to a licensed practical nurse (LPN). Which of the following statements by the RN indicates appropriate delegation to the LPN?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Verifying medications is within the LPN’s scope, as it involves a straightforward task without complex decision-making. Drawing conclusions, documenting, or performing initial assessments require clinical judgment, which is reserved for RNs.
