ATI RN Custom Exams Set 2
1. The nurse is teaching the client diagnosed with colon cancer who is scheduled for a colostomy the next day. Which behavior indicates the best method of applying adult teaching principles?
- A. The nurse repeats the information as indicated by the client’s questions
- B. The nurse teaches all the information needed by the client in one session
- C. The nurse uses a video to explain with medical terms to the client
- D. The nurse waits until the client asks questions about the surgery
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Choice A is the best method of applying adult teaching principles because repeating information and addressing the client’s questions as they arise is effective for reinforcing learning in adults. This approach allows for clarification of doubts and ensures that the client understands the information provided. Choice B is incorrect as teaching all the information in one session may overwhelm the client and hinder retention. Choice C is incorrect as using medical terms without ensuring the client's understanding may lead to confusion. Choice D is incorrect because waiting for the client to ask questions may result in missed opportunities to address important information proactively.
2. Which of the following is a primary factor that affects blood pressure?
- A. Obesity
- B. Age
- C. Stress
- D. Gender
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Obesity is a primary factor that affects blood pressure. Excess body weight, especially when concentrated around the abdomen, can increase the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure) as it puts extra strain on the heart to pump blood around the body. This can lead to various cardiovascular complications and other health issues. Managing weight through a healthy diet and regular physical activity can help control blood pressure levels. Age, stress, and gender can also influence blood pressure, but obesity has a more direct and significant impact on increasing blood pressure levels compared to the other factors listed.
3. Listed below are five categories that identify the responsibilities of the practical nurse manager in personnel management. Which of these categories is most appropriate for the task 'Educate soldiers in the history and traditions of the service'?
- A. Accountability
- B. Personal/professional development
- C. Individual training
- D. Military appearance/physical condition
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The appropriate category for the task 'Educate soldiers in the history and traditions of the service' is 'Personal/professional development.' This category involves educating individuals in various aspects, including history and traditions, to enhance their overall growth and knowledge. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because 'Accountability' focuses on responsibility and answerability, 'Individual training' refers to specific skill development, and 'Military appearance/physical condition' pertains to physical fitness and presentation, none of which directly align with educating soldiers in history and traditions.
4. In which situation(s) does the nurse act as a client advocate?
- A. Pulling the curtain around the client’s bed while changing a dressing
- B. Contacting the health care provider to request a meeting for the client
- C. Ensuring access to medical information by appropriate personnel only
- D. All of the above
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because all the situations listed reflect aspects of client advocacy. Pulling the curtain around the client's bed while changing a dressing ensures privacy and dignity for the client, which is an essential part of advocacy. Contacting the health care provider to request a meeting for the client involves advocating for the client's needs and preferences. Ensuring access to medical information by appropriate personnel only is another way the nurse advocates for the client by safeguarding their confidentiality and promoting proper communication. Choices A, B, and C all demonstrate different aspects of advocacy, making option D the correct choice.
5. Which of the following is NOT one of the major duties of the M6 practical nurse?
- A. Performing preventive, therapeutic, and emergency nursing care procedures
- B. Managing other paraprofessional personnel
- C. Managing ward or unit operations
- D. Implementing Level II through Level IV CSH operations
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because implementing Level II through Level IV CSH operations is not a major duty of the M6 practical nurse. A practical nurse's major duties include performing preventive, therapeutic, and emergency nursing care procedures (Choice A), managing other paraprofessional personnel (Choice B), and managing ward or unit operations (Choice C). These duties are more aligned with the responsibilities of a practical nurse, emphasizing patient care and coordination within a healthcare setting.
