Which skill is NOT assessed by the ATI T-17 Practice Test?

The skill of creative problem-solving is not assessed by the ATI T-17 Practice Test. This assessment primarily focuses on foundational knowledge and practical skills that are essential for nursing, such as practical nursing skills, professional communication, and the application of basic mathematical skills related to medication administration.

Practical nursing skills assess the competence necessary for providing patient care, while professional communication evaluates the ability to interact effectively with patients and colleagues in a healthcare setting. Basic mathematical skills related to medication ensure that the nurse can accurately calculate dosages and manage medication safely. In contrast, creative problem-solving, while valuable in not only nursing but many other fields, is not a specific focus of the ATI T-17 Practice Test, which is designed to evaluate critical competencies directly related to nursing practice.
