ATI Nutrition Proctored Exam 2019 Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching an in-service about manifestations of hypoglycemia to a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Corrected Rationale: Blurred vision is a common symptom of hypoglycemia and should be included in the teaching. Other manifestations like vomiting, Kussmaul respirations, and bradycardia are not typically associated with hypoglycemia. Vomiting is more commonly seen in conditions like food poisoning or gastrointestinal issues. Kussmaul respirations are deep and rapid respirations seen in metabolic acidosis, not hypoglycemia. Bradycardia is usually not a manifestation of hypoglycemia; tachycardia is more commonly associated with low blood sugar levels.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has type 1 diabetes mellitus. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Maintaining an HbA1c level of 5 percent indicates good long-term blood glucose control and understanding of diabetes management. Choice A is incorrect because the presence of albumin in the urine (albuminuria) is actually an indication of kidney damage in diabetes. Choice C is incorrect as ketones in the urine are a sign of inadequate insulin and can occur when blood glucose levels are high, not at a specific level like 190 mg/dL. Choice D is also incorrect as the client should aim to keep blood glucose levels within a tighter range for better control, typically between 80-130 mg/dL before meals and less than 180 mg/dL after meals.

Question 3 of 5

A client is receiving education from a nurse regarding the dietary changes needed for weight loss. Which of the following actions should the nurse perform first?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is to determine the client's daily caloric intake first. This step is crucial in understanding the client's current dietary habits and establishing a baseline for creating an effective weight loss plan. Educating the client about daily caloric requirements (Choice A) can only be done effectively after knowing the client's current intake. Providing meal planning information (Choice C) and teaching the client how to identify fat content in foods (Choice D) come after determining the baseline caloric intake to tailor the plan accordingly.

Question 4 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching to an obese client who has gestational diabetes and is at 25 weeks of gestation. Which of the following statements made by the client indicates a need for further teaching?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The statement 'This means that I will have diabetes for the rest of my life' indicates a need for further teaching. Gestational diabetes often resolves after pregnancy, although it does indicate a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes in the future. The other choices are correct or provide appropriate information: A) Understanding that gestational diabetes does not mean the baby will have the disease is accurate. C) Advising to drink non-diet soda if feeling dizzy is incorrect and potentially harmful due to the sugar content. D) Recognizing that obesity can be a risk factor for developing diabetes is a valid statement.
