ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Retake 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for gabapentin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reporting drowsiness is important with gabapentin, as it can cause sedation. Antacids reduce absorption, weight gain is more common, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is caring for a client who has methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Wearing a gown during personal hygiene prevents MRSA contact transmission. PPE is removed before leaving, negative air pressure is for airborne infections, and visitors aren't restricted but need PPE education.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of seizures. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Missing a dose of phenytoin, an anticonvulsant, increases seizure risk, requiring provider notification. Sleeping normally, new prescriptions, or a 2-month seizure-free period are less urgent.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for sertraline. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Reporting suicidal thoughts is critical with sertraline, an SSRI, due to increased risk early in treatment. It's taken flexibly, mood improvement takes weeks, and tyramine is unrelated.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse caring for the family of a client who recently died. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Encouraging the family to express feelings of loss supports grieving. Instructing them to leave, limiting time, or restricting touch is insensitive and disregards cultural or personal needs.
