ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 - Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 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 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a female client about contraception. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Condoms with spermicides enhance contraception effectiveness. Double condoms increase tearing risk, sponges need 6 hours post-intercourse, and petroleum jelly degrades latex condoms.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has bipolar disorder. The client yells at the nurse whenever medication changes are prescribed by the client's provider. The nurse should identify that the client is using which of the following defense mechanisms?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Displacement involves redirecting emotions to a safer target. The client's anger at medication changes (likely toward the provider) is displaced onto the nurse, a less threatening figure.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is providing care to a client who is immunocompromised. Which of the following should the nurse identify as a possible source of infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Soiled linens on the floor can harbor pathogens, posing an infection risk to an immunocompromised client. Single bags, damp cloths, and proper sharps disposal are safe practices.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has peptic ulcer disease and is scheduled to undergo an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take prior to the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Informed consent is essential before invasive procedures, ensuring the client understands risks, benefits, and alternatives. Contrast isn't used, duration varies, and a full bladder isn't required.
