ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 - Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Epigastric pain post-meals is common in GERD. Weight gain isn't typical, breath sounds are unrelated, and heartburn occurs.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new ileostomy. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: This question seems incomplete; assuming typical ileostomy teaching, no option fully fits. Correct teaching includes frequent emptying (not daily), low-fiber diet, increased fluids, and a red stoma. Assuming error, C is least incorrect if misworded.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for albuterol via a metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Shaking the inhaler ensures medication mixing. Breath hold is 10 seconds, albuterol is for acute relief, and cleaning uses water, not alcohol.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to perform a wet-to-dry dressing change for a client who has an infected abdominal wound. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use when performing this dressing change?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Cleaning from the center to the outer edges prevents contamination by avoiding dragging bacteria from surrounding skin into the wound. Tape should be pulled parallel to the skin, clean gloves suffice, and moistening defeats the dry removal purpose.
Question 5 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 reflects airway constriction in asthma. Other findings aren't typical.
