ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 - Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse at an outpatient clinic receives a call from a client who reports experiencing syncope after starting a new prescription for enalapril. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Enalapril can cause orthostatic hypotension leading to syncope; rising slowly minimizes this risk. Fluid decrease worsens it, pulse isn't key, and potassium isn't directly related.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has a new prescription for nystatin to treat a candidiasis infection. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nystatin suspension is swished for oral candidiasis. It's not an ointment, doesn't affect kidneys significantly, and lying flat isn't needed.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is at 32 weeks of gestation and in preterm labor. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Betamethasone enhances fetal lung maturity in preterm labor. Oxytocin induces labor, methylergonovine and carboprost manage postpartum bleeding.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of glaucoma. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Halos occur in glaucoma from optic nerve pressure. Peripheral vision decreases, sclera is unrelated, and pain varies.
