ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Retake 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a new prescription for levothyroxine. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A heart rate of 110/min indicates possible levothyroxine-induced hyperthyroidism, requiring provider notification. Weight gain, fatigue, and dry skin are hypothyroid symptoms, expected before treatment optimization.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for methotrexate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting signs of infection is critical with methotrexate, an immunosuppressant, due to infection risk. Antacids are unrelated, pain relief is not immediate, and vitamin C is not specific.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A temperature of 38.2°C (100.8°F) during a transfusion suggests a febrile reaction, requiring provider notification. Normal blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate are not urgent.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who states he recently purchased lavender oil to use when he gets the flu. The nurse should recognize which of the following findings as a potential contraindication for using lavender?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lavender oil can irritate airways and exacerbate asthma, making it a contraindication. Furosemide, alcohol use disorder, and vitamin C have no direct interactions with lavender oil.
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.
