ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Retake Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who uses a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine at night for sleep apnea. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as an indication of proper CPAP use?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: There is one finger width between the strap on the mask and the client's face is correct. A properly fitted CPAP mask should have a snug fit, with a space of about one finger width between the strap and the face to ensure adequate seal and comfort. A mask that is too tight can cause discomfort, while a loose mask may not provide the necessary pressure to treat sleep apnea.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for lamotrigine. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor for?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lamotrigine, an anticonvulsant, can cause a skin rash, which may indicate a serious reaction like Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of peripheral artery disease. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
