Entrance Exam (TEAS 7) - Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) - 2026/2027 Academic Year -
Questions and Answers Covering Four Core Domains, with the strongest emphasis placed on
Analyze and synthesize scientific principles to solve clinical problems, Apply mathematical
reasoning to dosage calculations and data interpretation and Critically evaluate reading passages
and draw logical conclusions. Every item follows the wording style and level of reasoning you meet
in the real paper, and each one is paired with a clear rationale so the correct choice is never a
guess. Work through the set at your own pace, mark the questions that slow you down, then come
back to them until the reasoning feels automatic. Learners who revise this way walk into the exam
room recognising the pattern behind the questions instead of meeting them for the first time. Keep
going - steady, honest practice is what turns a difficult paper into a comfortable pass.
Q1 ANALYZE AND SYNTHESIZE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES TO SOLVE CLINICAL PROBLEMS
A patient with type 1 diabetes receives a continuous subcutaneous insulin
infusion. The basal rate is 0.85 units/hour, and the insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio is
1:12. If the patient consumes a meal with 84 g of carbohydrates, what is the total
insulin dose for the meal?
A. 6 units
B. 7 units CORRECT
C. 8 units
D. 9 units
RATIONALE: Meal bolus = 84 g / 12 (units per g) = 7 units. Basal rate is irrelevant to meal bolus.
Therefore, the correct answer is 7 units.
Q2 ANALYZE AND SYNTHESIZE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES TO SOLVE CLINICAL PROBLEMS
Which of the following best describes the role of the nurse as a 'knowledge
worker' in contemporary healthcare?
A. Implementing standardized care plans without modification
B. Using informatics to synthesize data for clinical decision-making CORRECT
C. Delegating all documentation to unlicensed assistive personnel
D. Relying primarily on intuition for complex patient care
RATIONALE: A knowledge worker uses informatics and critical thinking to integrate data into
decisions. Option A is task-oriented, C is unsafe delegation, and D disregards evidence.

,Q3 ANALYZE AND SYNTHESIZE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES TO SOLVE CLINICAL PROBLEMS
A researcher conducts a study on a new wound dressing. The p-value for the
primary outcome is 0.03. Which interpretation is most accurate?
A. There is a 3% probability that the null hypothesis is true.
B. There is a 3% probability of obtaining the observed result if the null hypothesis is true.
CORRECT
C. The effect size is large and clinically significant.
D. The study has a 3% chance of a Type II error.
RATIONALE: The p-value is the probability of observing data as extreme or more, assuming the
null is true. It does not directly state the probability of the null being true (A), nor effect size (C),
nor Type II error (D).
Q4 ANALYZE AND SYNTHESIZE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES TO SOLVE CLINICAL PROBLEMS
In a patient with suspected sepsis, which laboratory value is most indicative of
tissue hypoperfusion?
A. Elevated serum lactate CORRECT
B. Decreased white blood cell count
C. Elevated serum creatinine
D. Decreased platelet count
RATIONALE: Lactate is a direct marker of anaerobic metabolism and tissue hypoperfusion.
Creatinine may indicate renal injury but not global perfusion; WBC and platelets are not specific
to perfusion.

, Q5 ANALYZE AND SYNTHESIZE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES TO SOLVE CLINICAL PROBLEMS
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
A. The nurse, along with the physicians, were attending the conference.
B. The nurse, along with the physicians, was attending the conference. CORRECT
C. The nurse and the physicians was attending the conference.
D. The nurse and the physicians is attending the conference.
RATIONALE: The subject 'nurse' is singular, so the verb must be 'was'. Phrases like 'along with'
do not change the subject number. Option C and D have incorrect verb agreement.
Q6 ANALYZE AND SYNTHESIZE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES TO SOLVE CLINICAL PROBLEMS
According to the CDC, which of the following is the most effective method to
prevent healthcare-associated infections?
A. Routine use of antimicrobial soaps
B. Hand hygiene compliance CORRECT
C. Isolation precautions for all patients
D. Daily changing of intravenous tubing
RATIONALE: Hand hygiene is the single most effective measure to prevent HAIs. Antimicrobial
soaps are not superior to plain soap for routine use; isolation is only for specific pathogens; IV
tubing changes are not the primary prevention.
