ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Retake Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing preoperative care to a client who reports he has no one at home to help him after his outpatient surgery. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assist with a referral to a home health care agency is correct. If the client has no one to assist them at home after surgery, a home health care agency can provide the necessary support. This is a proactive solution to ensure the client has assistance for postoperative recovery, including monitoring for complications, assistance with mobility, and other care needs.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking an oral contraceptive. Which of the following findings is a contraindication for the use of oral contraceptives?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Headaches with aura is correct. Headaches with aura, a warning sign that can precede a migraine, are a contraindication for the use of oral contraceptives. This is because oral contraceptives increase the risk of stroke, especially in women who experience migraines with aura.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is supervising an assistive personnel (AP) obtain supplies for a client who is on seizure precautions. Which of the following materials should the AP place in the client's room?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Oral suction equipment is correct. During a seizure, there is a risk of aspiration due to the loss of airway control. Oral suction equipment should be readily available in the room to clear the airway if needed, especially if the client experiences a seizure with oral secretions.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has dehydration due to diarrhea. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Urine output 12 mL/hr is correct. A urine output of 12 mL/hr is low and indicates oliguria, which is a concern in the context of dehydration. The normal urine output for an adult is at least 30 mL/hr. A decrease in urine output suggests that the kidneys are not receiving adequate blood flow, which could indicate severe dehydration and requires immediate attention from the provider.
