ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Exam 3 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving a unit of packed red blood cells. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring temperature every 30 minutes detects transfusion reactions early. Blood infuses over 2-4 hours, requires a large-gauge catheter, and saline, not dextrose, is used.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for gabapentin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gabapentin can cause drowsiness, requiring caution. Food intake is flexible, alcohol avoidance is prudent but secondary, and abrupt stopping risks symptom recurrence.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is completing documentation in the medical record about a client who fell on the floor. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the documentation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Documenting the client's statement provides an accurate account of the incident. Incident reports, blame, or injury absence are inappropriate for the medical record.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV chemotherapy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A cool, swollen IV site suggests extravasation, a chemotherapy emergency requiring immediate reporting. Fatigue, urine output, and mild fever are less urgent.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for NPH insulin 10 units and regular insulin 15 units subcutaneously. After injecting 10 units of air into the NPH insulin vial, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Injecting air into the regular insulin vial follows the sequence for mixing insulins (air into NPH, air into regular, withdraw regular, then NPH), preventing contamination and ensuring accurate dosing.
