ATI Leadership Questions
Question 1 of 5
A 32-year-old patient with diabetes is starting on intensive insulin therapy. Which type of insulin will the nurse discuss using for mealtime coverage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: For mealtime coverage in intensive insulin therapy, rapid-acting insulins like Lispro (Humalog) are used. Lispro has a quick onset of action, making it suitable for covering the rise in blood sugar levels after meals. Glargine (Lantus), Detemir (Levemir), and NPH (Humulin N) are all long-acting insulins and are not appropriate for mealtime coverage as they do not act quickly enough to manage postprandial glucose spikes.
Question 2 of 5
What is the primary focus of the Triple Aim in healthcare?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The primary focus of the Triple Aim in healthcare is indeed improving patient experience. While reducing healthcare costs and improving population health are important components of the Triple Aim framework, the primary goal is to enhance the overall experience of patients. Ensuring regulatory compliance, although important in healthcare, is not one of the primary focuses of the Triple Aim.
Question 3 of 5
A supervisor is restricting the flow of communication between staff. This has resulted in the staff having two very opposite directions. The supervisor's actions are known as which type of force?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Restraining force. In this scenario, the supervisor's actions of restricting communication are creating opposing directions among the staff, which is impeding progress and change. Restraining forces work against change by hindering or restricting movement in the desired direction. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. 'Opposing force' does not specifically address the hindrance caused by the supervisor's actions. 'Driving force' is a positive force that initiates and supports change, which is not the case here. 'Restrictive force' is not a commonly used term in the context of organizational behavior and change management.
Question 4 of 5
Two RNs are discussing the benefits of professional liability insurance. Which of the following is a reason for an RN to have a professional liability insurance policy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Professional liability insurance is essential for nurses to have as it may cover charges of libel, slander, assault, and HIPAA violations. Option A is incorrect as there are expenses involved in frivolous lawsuits. Option B is incorrect because if a nurse is found guilty of malpractice, the institution can sue the nurse. Option D is incorrect as nurses can also be sued for malpractice, not just doctors.
Question 5 of 5
A middle adult client tells the nurse, 'I feel so useless now that my children do not need me anymore.' Which of the following responses should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct response is to validate the client's feelings by acknowledging that individuals in middle adulthood often derive satisfaction from nurturing and guiding young people. This response shows empathy and understanding towards the client's emotions. Choice B is incorrect because it may come across as dismissive of the client's feelings. Choice C is incorrect as it does not address the client's emotional state and could be perceived as minimizing their concerns. Choice D is incorrect as it generalizes feelings and may not be applicable to the client's specific situation.
