ATI RN Leadership Retake 2023 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
While auditing the medical records of clients currently on an oncology unit, the nurse manager finds that six of the 15 records lack documentation regarding advance directives. Which of the following is the priority action for the nurse to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Meeting with staff to review policy addresses systemic documentation issues, ensuring consistent practice. Reinforcing consequences or asking nurses to obtain information are secondary, and reminders donβt address current gaps.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a client following a motor-vehicle crash. The client refuses to provide a urine sample to check for substance use. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Documenting the refusal ensures legal and ethical compliance. Threatening catheterization is coercive, mentioning blood alcohol is irrelevant, and assessing incontinence is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse suggests respite care for the partner of a client who has mild cognitive impairment. The client's partner asks the nurse how that would help. The nurse should explain that respite care would do which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Respite care provides caregivers temporary relief, allowing breaks while ensuring care. Safety assessments, errands, and assisted living arrangements are not its primary purpose.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reviewing client charts to collect data on the number of urinary catheters that were removed within 48 hours of surgery. This collection of information demonstrates which of the following processes?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An outcome audit evaluates care results, like timely catheter removal to prevent complications. Structure audits assess resources, benchmarking compares to standards, and process audits evaluate methods.
Question 5 of 5
A charge nurse is observing a newly licensed nurse change a client's wound dressing. Which of the following actions by the newly licensed nurse demonstrates an understanding of safe handling techniques?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Discarding clean gloves after removing the old dressing minimizes the risk of cross-contamination before handling sterile supplies. Placing soiled dressings on a table risks environmental contamination, cleaning from outside to center introduces contaminants into the wound, and opening sterile supplies before removing the old dressing risks contamination of the sterile field.
