ATI LPN
ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 - Exam 1 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a pediatric unit is caring for a toddler who has poor dietary intake. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The nurse's first action should be to obtain the child's dietary history to understand current eating habits, preferences, and barriers, enabling tailored interventions. This assessment precedes other actions like family involvement, snacks, or reinforcement, which depend on knowing the root cause.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is postpartum about the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The MMR vaccine is live attenuated, and women should avoid pregnancy for 28 days post-vaccination to reduce theoretical fetal risk. Breastfeeding is safe, partner vaccination isn't a client-specific instruction, and gluten allergy isn't a contraindication.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform a wet-to-dry dressing change for a client who has an infected abdominal wound. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use when performing this dressing change?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cleaning from the center to the outer edges prevents contamination by avoiding dragging bacteria from surrounding skin into the wound. Tape should be pulled parallel to the skin, clean gloves suffice, and moistening defeats the dry removal purpose.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a female client about contraception. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Condoms with spermicides enhance contraception effectiveness. Double condoms increase tearing risk, sponges need 6 hours post-intercourse, and petroleum jelly degrades latex condoms.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder. The client yells at the nurse whenever medication changes are prescribed by the client's provider. The nurse should identify that the client is using which of the following defense mechanisms?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Displacement involves redirecting emotions to a safer target. The client's anger at medication changes (likely toward the provider) is displaced onto the nurse, a less threatening figure.
