ATI NURS 252 Leadership Exam Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
At the beginning of the shift, the RN charge nurse instructs an RN to care for a particular set of patients. Upon receiving and acknowledging their assignment, the RN assumes:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The RN is accountable for their tasks, while the charge nurse retains overall responsibility for unit operations and patient care. Sole responsibility, accountability only with the charge nurse, or no responsibility misalign with team-based care.
Question 2 of 5
Two nurses approach their manager about a conflict regarding the patient assignment. The nurses are talking loudly and at the same time. Which of the following actions made by the manager demonstrates effective negotiation skills?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Asking each nurse to present their position fosters structured dialogue and collaboration, key to effective negotiation. Instructing self-resolution, threatening discipline, or dismissing complaints do not address the conflict constructively.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is giving a presentation about client confidentiality to a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following actions is an example of a violation of confidentiality?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reporting lab findings to a family member without consent violates confidentiality, as health information is protected. Notifying providers, discussing with managers, or identifying clients for referrals are within professional duties.
Question 4 of 5
An RN is delegating a task to an unlicensed assistive personnel. Which of the following scenarios best demonstrates appropriate delegation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Assisting with ambulation and ensuring safety measures is within the UNP’s scope, with clear instructions and follow-up. Other scenarios involve tasks requiring clinical judgment or lack adequate support, which are inappropriate for delegation.
Question 5 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.
