ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Exam 3 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about advanced directives. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A health care surrogate makes decisions if the client is incapacitated, ensuring their wishes are followed. Living wills can be changed, attorneys aren't required, and surrogates need not be family.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse on a medical surgical unit is caring for a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse see first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Elevated blood pressure with a headache suggests a hypertensive crisis, requiring immediate assessment to prevent complications like stroke. Other conditions are less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who is experiencing delirium. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Frequent orientation to time and place reduces confusion in delirium. Multiple choices can overwhelm, discussing fears supports emotional needs, and consistent caregivers minimize disorientation.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 2 days postoperative following an above-the-knee amputation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to promote progression toward independence and mobility for the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using an overbed trapeze builds upper body strength, aiding independent repositioning. Abduction, avoiding prone positions, or loose dressings don't directly enhance mobility.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for NPH insulin 10 units and regular insulin 15 units subcutaneously. After injecting 10 units of air into the NPH insulin vial, which of the following actions should the nurse take next?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Injecting air into the regular insulin vial follows the sequence for mixing insulins (air into NPH, air into regular, withdraw regular, then NPH), preventing contamination and ensuring accurate dosing.
