ATI Comprehensive 2024 Exit Exam with NGN Questions
Extract:
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about caring for clients in the emergency department.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse Include when teaching about interacting with a client who is aggravated, pacing, and speaking loudly?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because acknowledging the client's emotions can help de-escalate the situation. By stating, "You seem to be very upset," the nurse shows empathy and understanding, which can help the client feel heard and validated. Using a face shield, engaging the panic alarm, or initiating seclusion protocol are not appropriate actions in this scenario as they do not address the client's emotional state or help in calming them down. Face shield and panic alarm are more related to safety precautions, while seclusion protocol should only be considered as a last resort for safety reasons.
Therefore, choice B is the most appropriate action for interacting with a client who is aggravated, pacing, and speaking loudly.

Question 2 of 5
Select the 5 findings that require immediate follow-up
Correct Answer: A,B,D,E,H
Rationale: The correct choices for immediate follow-up are A, B, D, E, and H. Stool results (
A) are crucial for detecting gastrointestinal issues. Hemoglobin and hematocrit (
B) levels indicate blood health. Heart rate (
D) reflects cardiovascular function. Current medications (E) help assess potential drug interactions. WIC count (H) is essential for monitoring infection. Respiratory rate (
C) and temperature (F) are important but not as urgent.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse anticipates the client will likely require-------as evidenced by the client’s---------
Correct Answer: B,D
Rationale: The correct answers are B (stool test results) and D (an endoscopy). The nurse anticipates the client will likely require a stool test based on gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain or blood in stool. Stool test results can help diagnose gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, the nurse may anticipate the need for an endoscopy to further investigate gastrointestinal symptoms, like persistent reflux or difficulty swallowing.
Choices A, C, E, and F are less likely as they are not directly related to gastrointestinal issues.
Choice E (antifungal prescription) may be relevant in case of fungal infection, but gastrointestinal symptoms would not typically prompt this.
Choice F (oxygen via nonrebreather mask) is more related to respiratory issues.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse should first anticipate-------, followed by-----------
Correct Answer: A,E
Rationale: The correct answer is A, obtain IV access, and E, prepare to administer IV fluids. First, obtaining IV access is essential to establish a route for administering medications and fluids. This step is crucial in a critical situation to ensure quick access for emergency interventions. Next, preparing to administer IV fluids is important to address potential fluid imbalances or hypovolemia in the client. The other choices are incorrect because placing the client in a supine position with feet elevated (
B) may be contraindicated in certain conditions, rechecking oxygen saturation (
C) may delay urgent interventions, calling the surgical suite (
D) is premature without stabilizing the client first, checking an arterial blood gas (F) and ECG (G) are important but not immediate priorities in this scenario.
