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 heparin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Heparin's effect is monitored via aPTT. It's given IV or SQ, not massaged, and glucose isn't relevant.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is postpartum about the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The MMR vaccine is live attenuated, and women should avoid pregnancy for 28 days post-vaccination to reduce theoretical fetal risk. Breastfeeding is safe, partner vaccination isn't a client-specific instruction, and gluten allergy isn't a contraindication.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with postmortem care for a client who was a devout follower of Islam. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Positioning the head toward Mecca respects Islamic burial customs. Family presence varies by preference, not a fixed 8 hr, and northward positioning isn't specific to Islam.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation and is about to undergo an amniocentesis. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pressure is common during amniocentesis as the needle enters the uterus. A full bladder isn't needed (unlike ultrasound), fasting isn't required, and burning isn't typical.

A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of bipolar disorder. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Elevated mood (mania) is common in bipolar. Sleep decreases, weight varies, and concentration is poor.
