ATI RN Predictor Assessment Exit Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the admission of an older adult client. Which of the following subjective findings suggests that the client may have cataracts?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cloudy vision. Cataracts cause a cloudy or blurry vision due to the clouding of the lens inside the eye. Sudden dimmed vision (
A) may indicate other eye conditions. Intermittent flashes of light (
C) are more commonly associated with retinal issues. Pain in the eyes (
D) is not a typical symptom of cataracts.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is in active labor. Which of the following data is the priority for the nurse to collect following an amniotomy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Fetal heart rate. This is the priority following an amniotomy because it helps assess the well-being of the baby. Monitoring fetal heart rate is crucial to detect any signs of distress or complications during labor. A sudden change in fetal heart rate could indicate fetal distress, prompting immediate intervention.
Choice A: Amniotic fluid color is important for assessing potential meconium staining, but fetal heart rate takes precedence in immediate assessment.
Choice B: The client's temperature is important for detecting maternal infection, but fetal well-being is the priority.
Choice C: Frequency of contractions is important but typically monitored continuously and can be assessed simultaneously with fetal heart rate.
In summary, fetal heart rate is the priority following an amniotomy as it directly reflects the baby's condition, while the other choices are important but secondary in this context.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medication to a newborn. Which of the following information should the nurse use to identify the newborn?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Rationale: The nurse should use the newborn's name and medical record number to identify the correct patient. Names are unique identifiers and medical record numbers ensure accuracy in healthcare settings. Birth date and mother's name can change or be shared, age and diagnosis are not specific enough for identification, and footprints and identification numbers can be lost or duplicated.
Therefore, option A is the most reliable method for accurate patient identification.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a gastrostomy tube and is experiencing diarrhea. Which of the following factors should the nurse identify as a potential cause of the diarrhea?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because giving cold formula directly from the refrigerator can cause diarrhea by stimulating the gastrointestinal tract and leading to increased bowel activity. This can result in loose stools and diarrhea.
Summary of Other
Choices:
A: The formula infusion rate being too slow would not directly cause diarrhea. It may lead to other issues like inadequate nutrition or dehydration.
C: A partially obstructed feeding tube may cause feeding problems or discomfort, but not necessarily diarrhea.
D: Delayed gastric emptying would result in slower movement of food from the stomach to the intestines, potentially causing nausea or bloating, but not typically diarrhea.
Question 5 of 5
A newly licensed nurse is having difficulty finishing client care tasks during their shift. Which of the following techniques should the nurse plan use to assist with time management?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Try to complete a task before moving on to the next. This technique, known as task prioritization, helps the nurse focus on finishing one task at a time, reducing the risk of leaving tasks incomplete. By completing tasks sequentially, the nurse can maintain organization and efficiency. Delegating complicated tasks (
A) may help, but it doesn't address the core issue of time management. Documenting care at the end of the shift (
B) can lead to missed details and potential errors. Performing quick tasks first (
C) may not always be the most important or urgent tasks. Choosing none (E, F) doesn't provide a constructive approach to improving time management.
