ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Retake 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is assessing a client who reports ingesting thirty diazepam tablets 20 minutes ago. The client is lethargic and has a respiratory rate of 10/min. After securing the client's airway and initiating an IV, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Administering flumazenil, a benzodiazepine antagonist, is the priority to reverse diazepam overdose effects, such as lethargy and respiratory depression, by blocking GABA receptor binding. This prevents further respiratory compromise. Evaluating suicidal behavior is important but not urgent. Monitoring the IV site is secondary to reversing the overdose. Seizure precautions may be needed later but are not the immediate priority.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for clopidogrel. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting unusual bleeding is critical with clopidogrel, an antiplatelet, due to bleeding risk. It can be taken with food, timing is flexible, and vitamin K is unrelated.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse instruct the client to take prior to initiating postural drainage?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Using an albuterol inhaler before postural drainage opens airways, aiding mucus clearance in cystic fibrosis. Eating risks vomiting, pancrelipase is for digestion, and oral hygiene is unrelated to drainage.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who repeatedly refuses meals. The nurse overhears an assistive personnel (AP) telling the client, 'If you don't eat, I'll put restraints on your wrists and feed you.' The nurse should intervene and explain to the AP that this statement constitutes which of the following torts?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The AP's threat to restrain and force-feed the client constitutes assault, as it creates fear of harmful contact without consent. Malpractice involves professional negligence, battery is actual unconsented contact, and negligence is failure to meet care standards, none of which apply here.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of seizures. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Missing a dose of phenytoin, an anticonvulsant, increases seizure risk, requiring provider notification. Sleeping normally, new prescriptions, or a 2-month seizure-free period are less urgent.
