Leadership ATI Proctored Questions
Question 1 of 5
A postoperative nurse is caring for a client after knee replacement. She discovers the consent was not signed before the surgery. Which of the following charges could be filed?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Battery.' Battery could be charged if the consent was not signed before surgery. In this scenario, the lack of signed consent could constitute a case of battery, as the procedure was performed without the patient's explicit permission. Choice A, 'False imprisonment,' does not apply in this context, as it refers to the unlawful confinement of a person. Choice B, 'Libel,' involves making false statements that harm someone's reputation in writing, which is not relevant to the situation described. Choice D, 'Malpractice,' typically refers to professional negligence or failure to meet a standard of care, which is not the primary concern in this case.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is a key principle of the patient-centered care model?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Patient autonomy. Patient-centered care focuses on respecting and responding to patient preferences and needs, making patient autonomy a key principle. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the patient-centered care model prioritizes the patient's well-being and involvement in decision-making over healthcare provider satisfaction, cost reduction, or provider convenience.
Question 3 of 5
Penalties should be __________ .
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Penalties for policy violations should be progressive. This means that the disciplinary actions should escalate based on the severity or frequency of the violation. For minor infractions, like smoking in an unauthorized area, a progressive approach may include oral warnings, written warnings, suspension, and termination if the behavior persists. In contrast, major violations, such as theft, may warrant immediate and severe consequences like suspension or termination. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not address the concept of progressively escalating penalties based on the violation's severity or recurrence.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse has a seriously ill parent and must take care of the parent at home. Which of the following would NOT be a suitable solution to this problem? (EXCEPT)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to care for a seriously ill family member, securing the employee's job status. Termination and resignation involve ending employment, which is not a suitable solution as it does not provide job security. LOA (Leave of Absence) is often unpaid and does not guarantee job protection, making it less suitable than FMLA in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
A unit director at a local hospital knows even leadership may face ethical dilemmas. Which of the following should the director take into consideration when dealing with an employee who is incompetent?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Incompetence jeopardizes patient safety. Therefore, the formal process for handling these practices should be followed.
