ATI LPN Fundamentals Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is obtaining a health history from a client. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as a nonmodifiable risk factor for disease?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Genetics is a nonmodifiable risk factor for disease because it is determined by inherited traits from the parents. Genetics can influence susceptibility, severity, and progression of diseases like cancer or diabetes. The nurse cannot change this, but can manage conditions.
Choices B, C, and D (sunbathing, smoking, unhealthy diet) are modifiable through behavior and lifestyle changes.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse on an inpatient mental health unit is assisting with the admission of a client who reports feeling depressed, sad, moody, and overly anxious. Which of the following assessments should the nurse make first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Choice B is correct because suicide risk is the most urgent assessment for a client reporting depression and anxiety. It indicates the client’s level of hopelessness and intent to harm themselves, requiring immediate intervention to ensure safety.
Choice A (psychiatric history) provides background but isn’t urgent.
Choices C and D (support systems, coping abilities) are secondary to ensuring safety.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with teaching a class about medically futile treatment. The nurse should include which of the following as an example of medically futile treatment?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Choice D is correct because administering chemotherapy to a client with metastatic cancer is medically futile if it has no reasonable chance of eradicating the cancer or prolonging survival, potentially causing harm.
Choices A, B, and C are supportive or palliative measures that improve comfort, not futile treatments.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with teaching a class about client advocacy. The nurse should include which of the following as an example of client advocacy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Choice D is correct because communicating a client’s wishes to their provider exemplifies advocacy by ensuring the client’s needs and preferences are respected in decision-making.
Choices A, B, and C are ethical or professional duties, not specific to advocacy.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to delegate tasks to an assistive personnel (AP). The nurse should identify which of the following as one of the five rights of delegation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Choice B is correct because right communication is one of the five rights of delegation (right task, circumstance, person, direction, supervision). It ensures clear instructions and understanding.
Choices A, C, and D are not among the five rights.
