ATI Nutrition Practice Test B 2019

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Patient safety and efficacy of care depend on actions rooted in established nursing protocols that consider both the immediate and long-term needs of the patient.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In this situation, the first step should be to report the matter to your supervisor. It is essential to notify the appropriate authority immediately to address the discrepancy in the narcotics cabinet. Choice A is not the first step as reporting to the nursing director should follow after informing the supervisor. Keeping the findings to yourself (Choice B) is not appropriate as it may jeopardize patient safety and is against ethical standards. While finding out which patient received narcotics (Choice D) is important, it is not the immediate action to take in this scenario.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Effective nursing care involves comprehensive assessments that address all aspects of a patient's condition, ensuring that interventions are appropriately targeted and outcomes are optimized.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Adequate weight gain during pregnancy is essential as failure to obtain the required weight gain can increase the risk of preterm birth. Choice B is incorrect because it is important for obese clients to gain an appropriate amount of weight during pregnancy, not the same as those with a normal body mass index. Choice C is incorrect as gaining 50 pounds for a client with a normal body mass index is excessive. Choice D is incorrect as the common saying 'eating for two' during pregnancy is a misconception; pregnant individuals do not need to double their caloric intake.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Understanding the underlying pathology and therapeutic techniques ensures that nursing care is not only reactive but also preventative, reducing the risk of complications.
