,1. A client is at risk for infection after surgery. The priority nursing action to prevent
healthcare-associated infection is a clinical scenario requiring ATI Fundamentals proctored
exam competency. The nurse must demonstrate safety, infection control, assessment, and
NGN clinical judgment. What is the most appropriate action per ATI standards?
A. Fail to reposition immobile client
B. Delay assessment of abnormal vital signs
C. Use therapeutic communication and maintain ethical, professional boundaries
D. Skip hand hygiene and proceed
Answer: C
Rationale: This answer reflects evidence-based fundamentals including health assessment, vital signs
interpretation, medication administration with 6 rights, and nursing process. It prioritizes airway, breathing,
circulation, and Maslow hierarchy. Distractors confuse assessment vs implementation, ignore safety, or

Fundamentals and ensures client-centered care and exam success. Focus: nursing process.
2. NGN-style: A client requires isolation for C. diff. The nurse must select appropriate PPE
and a clinical scenario requiring ATI Fundamentals proctored exam competency. The nurse
must demonstrate safety, infection control, assessment, and NGN clinical judgment. What is
the most appropriate action per ATI standards?
A. Provide inaccurate dosage
B. Perform hand hygiene, use appropriate PPE, and apply safety checks per infection control
C. Delay assessment of abnormal vital signs
D. Skip hand hygiene and proceed
Answer: B
Rationale: Correct because it applies ATI Fundamentals principles of basic care, safety, infection control, and
client rights per NCLEX and QSEN competencies. It demonstrates clinical judgment, infection prevention via
hand hygiene, PPE, and asepsis, plus safety checks. Incorrect options violate standard precautions, skip
safety, or provide inaccurate documentation. Mastery of fundamentals, vital signs, and nursing process
