ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Retake 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is postoperative following a craniotomy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Clear drainage from the surgical site may indicate a cerebrospinal fluid leak, requiring immediate provider notification. Pain, mild fever, and normal heart rate are expected post-craniotomy.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin detemir. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Storing insulin detemir at room temperature for up to 42 days maintains potency. Shaking is incorrect, it's not taken before meals, and it's clear, not cloudy.
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, facilitating mucus clearance in cystic fibrosis patients. Eating a meal can cause discomfort or vomiting during drainage. Pancrelipase aids digestion but is unrelated to drainage preparation. Oral hygiene is not a specific pre-drainage requirement.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for duloxetine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting nausea is important with duloxetine, an SNRI, as it's a common side effect. It's taken flexibly, tyramine is unrelated, and mood improvement takes weeks.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate 4 hr ago. The nurse notes pink-tinged urine in the drainage bag. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Pink-tinged urine is expected post-TURP due to minor bleeding; maintaining the irrigation rate is appropriate unless bleeding worsens, warranting provider notification. Replacing the catheter is unnecessary, Credé's maneuver is irrelevant, and warming the solution doesn't address bleeding.
