ATI Nutrition Proctored Exam 2019 Questions

Question 1 of 5

A healthcare professional is teaching about implementing a heart-healthy diet to a client who has coronary artery disease. Which of the following foods should the professional recommend to the client?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Broiled salmon is a heart-healthy food due to its high omega-3 fatty acid content, which helps reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular health. Choices A, B, and D are not recommended for a heart-healthy diet. Baked ham and processed cheese are high in saturated fats and sodium, which can be detrimental to cardiovascular health. Canned potato soup may contain high levels of sodium and preservatives, making it less suitable for a heart-healthy diet.

Question 2 of 5

A client receiving chemotherapy treatments tells the nurse, 'I feel so nauseated after my treatments.' Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide the client?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'All of the Above.' Common foods served cold, sipping fluids slowly throughout the day, and sitting up for 1 hr after eating meals can help manage nausea associated with chemotherapy. Eating common foods served cold can be easier on the stomach, sipping fluids slowly can prevent overwhelming the digestive system, and sitting up after meals can aid digestion. Choices A, B, and C all contribute to alleviating nausea and are appropriate instructions for the client.

Question 3 of 5

A client who practices Islam and is currently observing dietary restrictions for the month of Ramadan. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan of care?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: During Ramadan, individuals fast from dawn to sunset. Facilitating fasting during daylight hours respects the dietary practices of clients observing Ramadan. Choice A is incorrect as the dietary restriction during Ramadan involves abstaining from all food and drink during daylight hours, not just beef products. Choice C is incorrect as Muslims generally do not consume meat and dairy together due to religious dietary laws. Choice D is incorrect as providing a low-carb diet on Fridays does not specifically align with the dietary restrictions observed during Ramadan.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client with a major burn injury and is receiving TPN. Which of the following lab tests is the priority for the nurse to use to confirm the client is receiving adequate nutrition?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Prealbumin is a sensitive indicator of protein status and nutrition, making it a priority for assessing nutritional adequacy in clients receiving TPN. Iron, magnesium, and folic acid levels are important for overall health but do not specifically indicate nutritional adequacy in the context of TPN administration.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a body mass index (BMI) of 30. Four weeks after nutritional counseling, which of the following evaluation findings indicates the plan of care was followed?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A weight loss of 2.7 kg in four weeks indicates effective adherence to a nutritional plan aimed at reducing body mass index (BMI), moving towards a healthier weight. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because a decrease in weight, as shown in choice D, is the desired outcome when managing a client with a BMI of 30 to reach a healthier range.
