⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Passed my ATI Fundamentals Retake on the first try!"
– Sarah M., RN Student
"I failed my first ATI Fundamentals proctored exam and was so stressed about the retake.
This study guide was a lifesaver! The practice questions were incredibly similar to what I
saw on the actual exam. The detailed rationales helped me understand why the correct
answer was right, not just memorize. The delegation section (AP vs. LPN vs. RN scope) and
the insulin mixing sequence (clear to cloudy) were especially helpful. I passed with a Level
2! Highly recommend for anyone taking the ATI Fundamentals Retake."

, SECTION 1: DELEGATION & ASSIGNMENT
1. A nurse is planning care for a group of clients. Which of the following tasks should
the nurse delegate to an assistive personnel (AP)?
A) Changing the dressing for a client who has a stage 3 pressure injury
B) Determining a client's response to a newly prescribed diuretic
C) Comparing bilateral radial pulses for a client who is postoperative
D) Providing postmortem care for a deceased client
Rationale: Providing postmortem care is within the AP's scope of practice as it is a
standardized, non-invasive procedure that does not require assessment or clinical
judgment. Dressing changes for stage 3 pressure injuries require sterile technique and
wound assessment (RN scope). Determining response to diuretics requires assessment of
effectiveness and potential complications (RN scope). Comparing pulses requires
assessment and clinical judgment (RN scope) .
2. A nurse is delegating the ambulation of a client who had knee arthroplasty 5 days
ago to an AP. Which of the following information should the nurse share with the AP?
(Select All That Apply)
A) "The roommate is up independently"
B) "The client ambulates with his slippers on over his antiembolic stockings"
C) "The client uses a front-wheeled walker when ambulating"
D) "The client had pain medication 30 minutes ago"
E) "The client is allergic to codeine"
F) "The client ate 50% of his breakfast this morning"
Rationale: The nurse must provide specific, relevant information for safe delegation.
Correct information includes: proper footwear (slippers over antiembolic stockings ensures
safety), mobility aids (front-wheeled walker is essential for safe ambulation), and pain
management status (pain medication timing affects ability to ambulate safely). Information
about the roommate, allergies unrelated to ambulation, and breakfast intake are not directly
relevant to the delegated task .
3. An RN is making assignments for client care to an LPN at the beginning of the
shift. Which of the following assignments should the LPN question?
A) Administering a scheduled oral medication to a stable client
B) Performing an initial admission assessment on a new client
