ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 - Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for vancomycin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Vancomycin risks ototoxicity; hearing monitoring is key. It's IV, not SQ, and glucose/massage aren't relevant.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a suspected urinary tract infection. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Flank pain is common in UTIs, especially if the kidneys are involved. Frequency increases, urine is cloudy, and dysuria is typical.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is providing site care for a child who has a gastrostomy enteral tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A skin barrier protectant prevents irritation from leakage. Lubricant and taping aren't routine, and extension tubes are for feeding, not site care.
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 reinforcing teaching with another nurse about how to change an ostomy appliance for a client who has a sigmoid colostomy. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Emptying the pouch first prevents spillage. The barrier should be 0.3-0.6 cm larger, moisturizing soap risks adhesion, and post-meal changes increase output.
