ATI TEAS Test Study Guide 2023-2024 Updated: TEAS 7
Exam Prep with Practice Questions for the Test of
Essential Academic Skills Version Seven 1st Edition

Which is a recommended guideline for safe computerized charting?
Passwords to the computer system should only be changed if lost.


2.
Computer terminals may be left unattended during client-care activities.


3.
Accidental deletions from the computerized file need to be reported to the nursing
manager or supervisor. (correct)


4.
Copies of printouts from computerized files should be kept on a clipboard at the nurses'
station for other nurses to access.


rationale: After any inadvertent deletions of permanent computerized records, the nurse
should type an explanation into the computer file with the date, time, and his or her
initials. The nurse should also contact the nursing manager or supervisor with a written
explanation of the situation. Options 1, 2, and 4 represent unsafe charting actions. Only
option 3 follows the guidelines for safe computer charting.
The licensed practical nurse (LPN) enters a client's room and finds the client
sitting on the floor. The LPN calls the registered nurse, who checks the client

,thoroughly and then assists the client back into bed. The LPN completes an
incident report, and the nursing supervisor and health care provider (HCP) are
notified of the incident. Which is the next nursing action regarding the incident?
Place the incident report in the client's chart.


2.
Make a copy of the incident report for the HCP.


3.
Document a complete entry in the client's record concerning the incident. (correct)


4.
Document in the client's record that an incident report has been completed


RATIONALE: The incident report is confidential and privileged information, and it should
not be copied, placed in the chart, or have any reference made to it in the client's
record. The incident report is not a substitute for a complete entry in the client's record
concerning the incident.
An unconscious client, bleeding profusely, is brought to the emergency
department after a serious accident. Surgery is required immediately to save the
client's life. With regard to informed consent for the surgical procedure, which is
the best action?
Call the nursing supervisor to initiate a court order for the surgical procedure.


2.
Try calling the client's spouse to obtain telephone consent before the surgical
procedure.


3.
Ask the friend who accompanied the client to the emergency department to sign the
consent form.

,4.
Transport the client to the operating department immediately, as required by the health
care provider, without obtaining an informed consent. (CORRECT)


RATIONALE: Generally there are only two instances in which the informed consent of
an adult client is not needed. One instance is when an emergency is present and
delaying treatment for the purpose of obtaining informed consent would result in injury
or death to the client. The second instance is when the client waives the right to give
informed consent. Options 1, 2, and 3 are inappropriate
The nurse arrives at work and is told to report (float) to the pediatric unit for the
day because the unit is understaffed and needs additional nurses to care for the
clients. The nurse has never worked in the pediatric unit. Which is the appropriate
nursing action?
.
Call the hospital lawyer.


2.
Call the nursing supervisor.


3.
Refuse to float to the pediatric unit.


4.
Report to the pediatric unit and identify tasks that can be safely performed (correct)


RATIONALE: Floating is an acceptable legal practice used by hospitals to solve their
understaffing problems. Legally the nurse cannot refuse to float unless a union contract
guarantees that the nurse can only work in a specified area or the nurse can prove a
lack of knowledge for the performance of assigned tasks. When faced with this
situation, the nurse should identify potential areas of harm to the client

, The nurse enters a client's room and notes that the client's lawyer is present and
that the client is preparing a living will. The living will requires that the client's
signature be witnessed, and the client asks the nurse to witness the signature.
Which is the appropriate nursing action?
Decline to sign the will. (CORRECT)


2.
Sign the will as a witness to the signature only.


3.
Call the hospital lawyer before signing the will.


4.
Sign the will, clearly identifying credentials and employment agency.




RATIONALE: Living wills are required to be in writing and signed by the client. The
client's signature either must be witnessed by specified individuals or notarized. Many
states prohibit any employee from being a witness, including the nurse in a facility in
which the client is receiving care.
The nurse finds the client lying on the floor. The nurse calls the registered nurse,
who checks the client and then calls the nursing supervisor and the health care
provider to inform them of the occurrence. The nurse completes the incident
report for which purpose?
roviding clients with necessary stabilizing treatments


2.
A method of promoting quality care and risk management (correct)


3.
Determining the effectiveness of interventions in relation to outcomes
