ATI Nutrition Practice Test B 2019

1. The component that should receive the highest priority before physical examination is the:

A. Psychological preparation of the client
B. Physical Preparation of the client
C. Preparation of the Environment
D. Preparation of the Equipments

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.

2. A nurse is providing nutritional education to a client who is obese. The nurse should include in the information that which of the following gastrointestinal disorders is commonly associated with obesity?

A. Peptic ulcer disease
B. Gastroesophageal reflux disease
C. Celiac disease
D. Crohn’s disease

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is commonly associated with obesity due to increased abdominal pressure and other factors. Peptic ulcer disease (Choice A) is not commonly associated with obesity. Celiac disease (Choice C) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption and is not directly linked to obesity. Crohn’s disease (Choice D) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease and is not specifically associated with obesity.

3. Can a person with Celiac disease eat Poptarts that contain gluten?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Only in small quantities
D. Only if they are gluten-free Poptarts

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A person with Celiac disease cannot consume Poptarts that contain gluten because gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, triggering an autoimmune response in individuals with Celiac disease and damaging their small intestine. Even small quantities of gluten can lead to this harmful response, making choices 'A' and 'C' incorrect. While gluten-free Poptarts may be suitable for individuals with Celiac disease, regular Poptarts containing gluten are not safe for consumption by them, rendering choice 'D' incorrect as well.

4. What is the first step in decontamination?

A. Immediately applying a chemical decontamination foam to the area of contamination
B. Thoroughly washing and rinsing the patient with soap and water
C. Immediately applying personal protective equipment
D. Removing the patient's clothing and jewelry, then rinsing the patient with water

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct first step in decontamination is to remove the patient's clothing and jewelry to prevent further exposure and then rinse the patient with water. This helps to eliminate any contaminants on the patient's body. Choice A is incorrect because applying a chemical decontamination foam should come after removing clothing. Choice B is incorrect as washing and rinsing the patient should follow the removal of clothing. Choice C is incorrect as personal protective equipment should be worn by the individual performing the decontamination, not applied to the patient.

5. A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who has acute pancreatitis and has a prescription for fat-soluble vitamin supplements. The nurse should instruct the client to take a supplement for which of the following?

A. Vitamin A
B. Vitamin B1
C. Vitamin C
D. Vitamin B12

Correct answer: A

Rationale: In acute pancreatitis, malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins can occur due to pancreatic enzyme insufficiency. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that may need supplementation in this case. Vitamin B1 (thiamine), Vitamin C, and Vitamin B12 are water-soluble vitamins and are not typically affected by pancreatic enzyme insufficiency in acute pancreatitis. Therefore, the correct supplement for the client with acute pancreatitis is Vitamin A.
