ATI Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Exit Exam B Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has gout and a new prescription for allopurinol. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Increase fluid intake to 2 to 3 liters daily. This instruction is crucial as allopurinol can increase the risk of kidney stones, and adequate hydration helps prevent this complication. By increasing fluid intake, the client can flush out uric acid and reduce the risk of kidney stone formation.


Choice B is incorrect because taking allopurinol with a high-purine meal can worsen gout symptoms by increasing uric acid levels.
Choice C is incorrect as joint pain may take weeks to improve, not within 24 hours.
Choice D is incorrect because applying ice during an acute gout attack can provide temporary relief but doesn't address the underlying cause.
