Introduction
This ATT Test 3 Practice Exam format for 2026/2027 reflects a comprehensive competency assessment designed to evaluate
proficiency in professional and technical principles. Important Clarification: "ATT Test 3" is an ambiguous acronym. Based
on your recent session history (Nursing, Health Sciences, WCU, CEA), this practice exam aligns with Nursing/Health
Sciences competencies (likely ATI Test 3), as "ATT" is commonly confused with "ATI (Assessment Technologies
Institute)" in nursing education. If you intended the Association of Tax Technicians or AT&T Employment Assessment,
please note that content domains differ significantly. This practice exam focuses on Nursing/Health Sciences (Med-
Surg/Fundamentals) to match your recent request pattern. The exam measures knowledge of professional standards,
technical procedures, regulatory compliance, risk management, care principles, data interpretation, and scenario-based
decision-making essential for safe, effective practice. The 75-question format provides extensive coverage of high-yield
domains for study, preparation, and mastery purposes. All questions are presented in Multiple Choice Question
(MCQ) format with four answer options (A, B, C, D).
1. A nurse is preparing to delegate tasks to an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following tasks should
the nurse delegate to the AP?
A) Evaluating a client's response to pain medication
B) Performing a sterile dressing change for a postoperative client
C) Measuring the intake and output for a client who is stable
D) Developing a plan of care for a client newly admitted with heart failure
Rationale: Measuring intake and output is a routine task that falls within the AP's scope of practice for stable clients.
Evaluation, sterile procedures, and care planning require the clinical judgment and specialized knowledge of a licensed
nurse.
2. A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for digoxin 0.25 mg PO daily. Before administering
the medication, the nurse should monitor for which of the following signs of digoxin toxicity?
A) Tachycardia
B) Hypertension
C) Visual disturbances such as yellow-green halos
D) Increased appetite
Rationale: Classic signs of digoxin toxicity include gastrointestinal upset (anorexia, nausea, vomiting) and visual changes,
specifically seeing yellow-green halos around lights. Bradycardia, rather than tachycardia, is also a common sign.
3. A nurse is assessing a client who has Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and is experiencing Diabetic Ketoacidosis
(DKA). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
A) Kussmaul respirations
B) Blood glucose level of 110 mg/dL
C) Urine negative for ketones
, D) Hypoventilation
Rationale: DKA is characterized by metabolic acidosis. The body attempts to compensate by increasing the rate and depth
of respirations to blow off CO2, known as Kussmaul respirations. Blood glucose is typically >250 mg/dL, and ketones will
be present in the urine.
4. A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a total hip arthroplasty. Which of the
following actions should the nurse take to prevent hip dislocation?
A) Encourage the client to cross their legs at the knees
B) Maintain the client's hip in a flexed position of 120 degrees
C) Place an abduction pillow between the client's legs
D) Turn the client onto the operative side every 2 hours
Rationale: After total hip arthroplasty, an abduction pillow is used to keep the hips in an abducted position, which
prevents the head of the prosthesis from dislocating. Crossing legs or excessive flexion (>90 degrees) increases the risk of
dislocation.
5. A nurse is reviewing the arterial blood gas (ABG) results for a client with COPD. The results are: pH 7.31,
PaCO2 55 mmHg, and HCO3 26 mEq/L. The nurse should interpret these results as which of the following?
A) Respiratory acidosis
B) Respiratory alkalosis
C) Metabolic acidosis
D) Metabolic alkalosis
Rationale: The pH is low (<7.35), indicating acidosis. The PaCO2 is high (>45 mmHg), indicating a respiratory cause.
Since the HCO3 is within normal range, this is uncompensated respiratory acidosis, typical in chronic obstructive lung
diseases.
6. A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for warfarin. Which of the following laboratory
values should the nurse monitor to evaluate the effectiveness of the medication?
A) aPTT
B) Platelet count
C) PT/INR
D) Hemoglobin and hematocrit
Rationale: Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR) are the specific labs used to monitor the
anticoagulant effects of warfarin. aPTT is used for heparin monitoring.
7. A nurse is educating a client about a new prescription for levothyroxine. Which of the following
instructions should the nurse include?
A) "Take this medication on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast."
B) "Take this medication with a full glass of milk."
C) "Expect the full effects of the medication within 24 hours."
D) "Stop taking the medication if you feel your heart racing."
Rationale: Levothyroxine absorption is improved when taken on an empty stomach. Taking it with milk or food can
interfere with absorption. It takes several weeks for the medication to reach therapeutic levels.
8. A nurse is caring for a client who is in the oliguric phase of acute kidney injury (AKI). Which of the
following findings should the nurse expect?
A) Urine output of 2,000 mL/day
B) Hyperkalemia
C) Hypovolemia
D) Low serum creatinine
Rationale: In the oliguric phase, urine output drops significantly, leading to fluid retention (hypervolemia) and the buildup
of waste products and electrolytes. Potassium is not excreted effectively, resulting in hyperkalemia.
9. A nurse is planning care for a client who has a sealed radiation implant. Which of the following
precautions should the nurse implement?
A) Wear a surgical mask when entering the room
B) Limit visitors to 1 hour per day
C) Wear a lead apron when providing direct care
D) Dispose of linens in a standard laundry bag
Rationale: For internal radiation (brachytherapy), nurses must minimize exposure using time, distance, and shielding. A
lead apron provides shielding. Visitors should be limited to 30 minutes, and linens require special handling.
10. A nurse is teaching a client who has a new diagnosis of Heart Failure about a low-sodium diet. Which of
the following food choices should the nurse recommend?
A) Canned soup
B) Salami and cheese sandwich
C) Fresh orange slices
