ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Exam 3 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving IV fluids. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent phlebitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Changing the IV site every 72-96 hours reduces infection and phlebitis risk. Massaging, cold compresses, or large catheters don't prevent phlebitis.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for insulin glargine. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Insulin glargine provides basal coverage for 24 hours, taken daily. It's not meal-timed, may cause weight gain, and shaking is unnecessary.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a mastectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote arm mobility?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Daily range-of-motion exercises prevent stiffness and promote mobility. Breathing exercises, arm avoidance, or compression don't target mobility.
Question 4 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 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving chemotherapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to prevent infection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Monitoring WBC counts detects neutropenia early, guiding infection prevention. Fresh produce is safe if washed, antibiotics aren't routine, and avoiding crowds is secondary.
