ATI NU2500 Leadership Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a pediatric unit is reviewing her client assignment following the shift report. Which of the following clients should the nurse plan to assess first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the infant with pertussis receiving oxygen via nasal cannula has a life-threatening condition that requires immediate attention to maintain airway patency and oxygenation. This client is at risk for respiratory distress and deterioration. Assessing this client first ensures timely intervention to prevent complications.
Choices A, B, and C do not require immediate attention as the clients are stable or ready for discharge.
Choice A can be monitored throughout the shift, choice B can receive discharge instructions after assessment, and choice C can wait for feeding after the more critical assessment is completed.
In summary, assessing the infant with pertussis first is crucial due to the acuity of the condition, while the other clients can be assessed subsequently based on their level of urgency.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse on the pediatric unit is providing room assignments for children who are to be admitted to the unit. The nurse should plan to place a child who is postoperative from an appendectomy with which of the following clients?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. A child postoperative from an appendectomy should be placed with a child who has a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. This is because both conditions require monitoring and management of vital signs, pain control, and potential complications. They do not pose a risk to each other's condition. Placing the postoperative appendectomy child with the other options may lead to complications or exacerbation of conditions due to different care needs and potential risks.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about the transition from novice to expert nurse. The nurse should include that a nurse who requires support from a mentor is at which of the following stages?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Advanced beginner. At this stage, nurses have limited experience and benefit from guidance and support from mentors to develop their skills. Competent nurses (
A) have gained experience and can function independently. Proficient nurses (
C) demonstrate a higher level of skill and can function well without constant guidance. Expert nurses (
B) have extensive experience and knowledge, requiring minimal support.
Choices E, F, and G are not applicable as they are not part of the original question.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing instructions to a client about the Press Ganey survey. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: This survey will ask me about my satisfaction of services provided. This answer reflects an understanding of the purpose of the Press Ganey survey, which is to gather feedback on the client's satisfaction with the services received.
Choice A is incorrect because the survey is typically sent to all patients, not just a sample group.
Choice C is incorrect as the survey is usually administered electronically or via phone, not by mail.
Choice D is incorrect as the survey is typically completed independently by the client, not through a telephone call.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is admitting a client who is in the manic phase of bipolar disorder. The nurse should plan to make which of the following room assignments for the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: A private room close to the nursing station. This is the best choice as it allows for close monitoring of the client's behavior and ensures quick intervention if needed. A private room provides the client with privacy and minimizes distractions. Being close to the nursing station allows for immediate access to nursing staff for support and supervision. Options A and C may not provide adequate monitoring or support. Option B (seclusion) is not appropriate as it may exacerbate feelings of isolation. Option D is the most suitable choice for ensuring safety and providing appropriate care for the client.
