Free ATI TEAS Exam Questions That Helps Candidates Pass

When a question asks for the best supported conclusion, anchor your choice to language that is explicitly stated rather than inferred. The memo clearly states Elevator #2 will be out of service and gives two alternatives: (1) use Stairwells A or B, and (2) those with mobility limitations should call x7711 for assistance. That directly supports C. Option A overgeneralizes; only Elevator #2 is mentioned as down. Option B contradicts the rule restricting the freight elevator to staff and deliveries only. Option D is the opposite of what’s advised; the memo tells people to use Stairwells A or B, not that they’re closed. On TEAS Reading, distill each sentence into an operational rule (what to do, when, and for whom). Then test each answer: if it adds facts, contradicts the text, or relies on assumptions (e.g., “all elevators”), it’s not supported. Precision with dates, eligibility, and exceptions is key when reading policy-style passages.

The cerebellum integrates proprioceptive input from muscles/joints, vestibular information about head position/motion, and motor plans from the cortex to coordinate and fine-tune voluntary movements. It corrects motor errors in real time, contributing to balance, posture, and smooth execution (e.g., finger-to-nose testing). Damage yields ataxia, dysmetria (past-pointing), intention tremor, nystagmus, and a wide-based gait—classic signs of impaired coordination rather than strength loss. The medulla (A) manages autonomic functions (cardiac, respiratory centers) and reflexes like coughing and swallowing. The hypothalamus (C) governs homeostasis (temperature, hunger, endocrine link via pituitary). The basal nuclei (D) are crucial for movement initiation, habit learning, and suppressing unwanted movements; their dysfunction produces rigidity, bradykinesia, or chorea (e.g., Parkinson’s, Huntington’s), but cerebellar calibration of timing/precision is distinct. On TEAS A&P, map function to location: cerebellum → coordination/balance; basal nuclei → initiation & modulation; brainstem → basic life support; hypothalamus → homeostasis/endocrine. Recognizing hallmark deficits helps you match clinical descriptions to the correct neuroanatomical structure.

First convert pounds to kilograms so the mg/kg order matches patient weight: (44\ \text{lb} \div 2.2 = 20\ \text{kg}). Next multiply by the ordered strength: (35\ \text{mg/kg} \times 20\ \text{kg} = 700\ \text{mg}). Thus, B is correct. On TEAS dosage items, dimensional analysis prevents common errors: (44\ \text{lb} \times \frac{1\ \text{kg}}{2.2\ \text{lb}} \times \frac{35\ \text{mg}}{1\ \text{kg}} = 700\ \text{mg}). Units cancel across each fraction, confirming setup before calculation. Options A (660 mg) and C (770 mg) typically arise from misusing 2.5 lb/kg or rounding weight incorrectly; D (800 mg) would be 40 kg at 20 mg/kg or a mistaken 2.0 conversion factor. After computing, apply a reasonableness check: 35 mg/kg is roughly “one-third of 100 mg/kg,” and (20 \times 35) should land between (20 \times 30=600) and (20 \times 40=800); 700 mg sits right in range. In practice, you would then match to available strengths (tablet/capsule or liquid concentration) and round only per protocol. TEAS emphasizes exact arithmetic and careful conversions to support safe medication administration.

Lie (to recline; no direct object): present lie, past lay, past participle lain.

Lay (to put/place; takes a direct object): present lay, past laid, past participle laid.

Option B is correct: past action of reclining → lay (no object): The patient lay on the gurney… Option A misuses the present lay for reclining; it should be “lie down.” Option C misuses lie where the verb needs a direct object (forms); it should be “will lay the forms.” Option D uses laid (transitive past) with no object and the intransitive sense “recline”; it should be “lay quietly.” TEAS loves this pair because the past of lie (lay) looks like the present of lay. To decide fast: if you can add a thing after the verb (lay what?), use lay/laid; if not (recline), use lie/lay/lain. Practicing a quick substitution—“recline” vs. “put/place”—helps lock in correct usage under time pressure.

Percent change (=\dfrac{\text{new} - \text{old}}{\text{old}} \times 100%). Compute the difference: (92 - 80 = 12). Divide by the old value: (\dfrac{12}{80} = 0.15). Convert to a percent: (0.15 \times 100% = 15%). Thus, D is correct. Option A (12%) confuses the numerator with the percentage; B (13%) and C (14%) are near-miss distractors for rounding errors or using the new value in the denominator. TEAS data analysis requires careful identification of the baseline; percent increase is always relative to the original amount unless specified otherwise. A quick check: 10% of 80 is 8; 15% of 80 is 12—exactly the observed gain—confirming 15%. If the problem gave totals and rates, ensure “same total volume” holds; otherwise changes could reflect different denominators. In quality-improvement contexts, distinguish absolute increase (12 appointments) from relative increase (15%), and avoid the common pitfall of computing “percentage points” vs “percent” changes when comparing rates.
