PN ATI Comprehensive Predictor Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from an older adult client during a routine physical examination. Which of the following client statements should the nurse identify as a possible indication of maltreatment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Taking away a wallet to control spending is a form of financial maltreatment, which is a common form of abuse among older adults. Choices B, C, and D do not indicate maltreatment; rather, they show examples of care and concern from the son. Cooking meals, preventing the older adult from driving alone, and engaging in daily exercise are positive behaviors.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer a medication to a client. The client states, 'I'm sick of all these medications, and I'm not taking any more today!' Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When a client refuses medication, the nurse should inform the client of the possible consequences of refusal. This action helps the client understand the risks associated with not taking the medication. Asking the client to discuss their feelings (choice A) is important but should follow after informing them of the consequences. Explaining the importance of the medications (choice B) might not address the immediate concern of the client. Documenting the refusal and withholding the medication (choice C) should be done after informing the client of the consequences and attempting to address their concerns.
Question 3 of 5
When receiving change-of-shift report for a group of clients, which time-management strategy should the nurse plan to implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Preparing a priority list of client needs for the shift is the most effective time-management strategy for a nurse receiving change-of-shift report. This approach helps the nurse identify and address the most urgent client needs first, ensuring efficient use of time. Choice B is incorrect because focusing on less time-consuming tasks first may result in crucial tasks being delayed. Choice C is incorrect as urgent client needs should be handled promptly, not postponed until the end of the shift. Choice D is inefficient as it does not prioritize tasks based on urgency, potentially leading to delays in addressing critical client needs.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about home care for conjunctivitis with the parent of a school-age child. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is to use a separate washcloth for the child. This is important to prevent the spread of infection when a child has conjunctivitis. Using the same washcloth can lead to cross-contamination and further spread of the condition. Applying cold or warm compresses may provide comfort but do not address the prevention of spreading the infection. Keeping the child home until symptoms have resolved may be necessary, but the primary focus should be on preventing the spread of the infection within the household.
Question 5 of 5
A client who has a new prosthesis for an above-the-knee amputation of the right leg needs teaching on its use. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct instruction is to apply the prosthesis immediately upon waking each day. This helps the client adjust to and maintain mobility. Choice A is incorrect because wearing the prosthesis for only 2 hours at a time may not be sufficient for proper adjustment. Choice B is incorrect as removing the prosthesis every other day is not a standard practice and may hinder the client's mobility. Choice D is incorrect because elevating the stump for 24 hours after applying the prosthesis is unnecessary and not a recommended practice.
