ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Retake 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of asthma. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wheezing is expected in asthma due to airway constriction. Tachycardia, not bradycardia, is common, and fever or abdominal pain are not typical asthma symptoms.
Question 2 of 5
A home health nurse is planning care for a client who has Alzheimer's disease. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Placing locks at the tops of exterior doors prevents wandering, a common and dangerous behavior in Alzheimer's patients, ensuring safety. Zippers versus buttons don't address safety. Hardwood floors may reduce falls but aren't specific to Alzheimer's. Physical activity before bed may disrupt sleep, not enhance safety.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for digoxin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting a heart rate less than 60/min is critical, as digoxin can cause bradycardia, indicating toxicity. High-fiber foods are not contraindicated, antacids may reduce absorption, and digoxin does not significantly increase urine production.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of epilepsy. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Missing a dose of carbamazepine, an anticonvulsant, increases seizure risk, requiring provider notification. Metallic taste, seizure-free periods, or normal sleep are less urgent.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for metoprolol. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring heart rate is essential with metoprolol, a beta-blocker, due to risk of bradycardia. Blood glucose, potassium, and urine output are less directly affected.
