Virtual ATI Greenlight Predictor Exam
Comprehensive Nursing Content Review (ATI NCLEX Blueprint)
This is the highest-weighted section of the exam. The Greenlight Predictor is designed to assess
readiness for the NCLEX and covers all major nursing specialties including Medical-Surgical,
Pharmacology, Fundamentals, Maternal-Newborn, Pediatrics, Mental Health, Leadership, and
Community Health. Questions are application-based and emphasize clinical judgment.
Fundamentals of Nursing
Safety, infection control, therapeutic communication, basic nursing skills, hygiene, mobility,
elimination, oxygenation, fluid and electrolyte balance, and nursing process concepts. Priority
nursing interventions and patient safety are heavily emphasized.
Adult Medical-Surgical Nursing
Cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, endocrine, gastrointestinal, renal, hematologic,
musculoskeletal, and immune disorders. Assessment findings, nursing interventions,
complications, and patient education are among the most tested areas.
Pharmacology & Medication Administration
Medication classifications, adverse effects, contraindications, antidotes, drug interactions,
dosage calculations, safe medication administration, and patient teaching. High-alert
medications and medication safety are commonly tested.
Maternal-Newborn Nursing
Antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, fetal monitoring, labor complications, obstetric
emergencies, and newborn assessment. Recognition of priority findings and complications is
frequently tested. Questions involving post-amniocentesis monitoring are commonly
encountered.
Pediatric Nursing
Growth and development, congenital disorders, respiratory illnesses, gastrointestinal disorders,
infectious diseases, immunizations, and family-centered care. Age-specific nursing interventions
are emphasized.
Mental Health Nursing
, Page 2 of 185
Therapeutic communication, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, crisis
intervention, personality disorders, substance use disorders, and psychopharmacology.
Selection of the most therapeutic response is heavily tested.
Leadership & Management
Delegation, prioritization, assignment, supervision, conflict resolution, ethical principles, legal
issues, disaster triage, and quality improvement. NCLEX-style management-of-care questions
are among the most challenging areas.
Community Health Nursing
Health promotion, disease prevention, epidemiology, disaster preparedness, communicable
diseases, environmental health, and vulnerable populations. Public health priorities and levels
of prevention are frequently tested.
Pharmacology Safety & Adverse Reactions
Insulin, anticoagulants, opioids, digoxin, antihypertensives, antibiotics, and psychotropic
medications. Recognizing toxicity and adverse reactions is essential.
Clinical Judgment & NGN (Next Generation NCLEX)
Case studies, cue recognition, hypothesis generation, prioritization, clinical decision-making,
and evaluating outcomes. NGN-style matrix and multiple-response items are commonly
incorporated. The exam typically contains approximately 180 questions covering all content
areas.
Priority Concepts & Emergency Nursing
ABCs, Maslow's hierarchy, unstable versus stable clients, delegation principles, emergency
interventions, shock, cardiac arrest, arrhythmias, and rapid response situations. Ventricular
tachycardia and defibrillation scenarios are frequently encountered.
Laboratory Values & Diagnostic Testing
Normal laboratory values, ABGs, electrolyte imbalances, CBC interpretation, coagulation
studies, renal function tests, and nursing implications of abnormal findings.
Infection Control & Safety
Standard precautions, transmission-based precautions, isolation procedures, PPE, sterile
technique, and prevention of healthcare-associated infections.
Virtual ATI Greenlight Predictor Exam - 300 MCQ Questions with Rationales
, Page 3 of 185
Question 1: A nurse is caring for a client who is at 33 weeks of gestation following an
amniocentesis. Which of the following complications should the nurse monitor for?
A) Vomiting
B) Hypertension
C) Epigastric pain
D) Contractions
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Amniocentesis can trigger uterine irritability, leading to contractions and potential
preterm labor, especially at 33 weeks gestation. Monitoring for contractions is essential to
identify early signs of preterm labor. Vomiting, hypertension, and epigastric pain are not
common complications of the procedure .
Question 2: A nurse is providing teaching to an older adult client about methods to promote
nighttime sleep. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
A) Stay in bed at least 1 hour if unable to fall asleep
B) Take a 1-hour nap during the day
, Page 4 of 185
C) Perform exercises prior to bedtime
D) Eat a light snack before bedtime
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A light carbohydrate or protein snack can promote sleep by preventing hunger.
Napping too long or late in the day and vigorous exercise close to bedtime can interfere with
sleep. Staying in bed awake for too long can condition the brain to associate bed with
wakefulness .
Question 3: A nurse on a telemetry unit is caring for a client who becomes unconscious and
whose monitor displays ventricular tachycardia. Which action should the nurse take first after
determining the client does not have a palpable pulse?
A) Assess heart sounds
B) Defibrillate
C) Establish IV access
D) Administer epinephrine
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ventricular tachycardia without a pulse is a shockable rhythm requiring immediate
