Well usually it's Map, it depends a bit on your "nesting", e.g.:

In[3]:= Map[IntegerQ, {{1, 1/5}, {1, 1/5}}, {2}]
Out[3]= {{True, False}, {True, False}}


If nesting is different, map differently, e.g.:

In[16]:= Map[IntegerQ, {1, {2., {3, {4., 5}}}}, {-1}]
Out[16]= {True, {False, {True, {False, True}}}}


This might wreak havoc however, with

In[14]:= Map[IntegerQ, {{1, 1/5}, {{1, 1/5}, 1/f[5]}}, {-1}]
Out[14]= {{True, False}, {{True, False}, Power[f[True],True]}}


If you only want to map within Lists descending, you might try

In[19]:= th[IntegerQ,{{1, 1/5},{{1,1/5},1/f[5]}}]
Out[19]= {{True,False},{{True,False},False}}

In[17]:= th[IntegerQ, {1, {2., {3, {4., 5}}}}]
Out[17]= {True, {False, {True, {False, True}}}}


Where th maps recursively at List:

In[11]:= th[f_, a_] /; Head[a] == List := th[f, #] & /@ a
In[12]:= th[f_, a_] := f[a]
