ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 - Exam 1 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation and is about to undergo an amniocentesis. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pressure is common during amniocentesis as the needle enters the uterus. A full bladder isn't needed (unlike ultrasound), fasting isn't required, and burning isn't typical.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing site care for a child who has a gastrostomy enteral tube. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A skin barrier protectant prevents irritation from leakage. Lubricant and taping aren't routine, and extension tubes are for feeding, not site care.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for clopidogrel. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet, increases bruising/bleeding risk. Milk isn't needed, red stools suggest bleeding (reportable), and stopping early risks clots.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for albuterol via a metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Shaking the inhaler ensures medication mixing. Breath hold is 10 seconds, albuterol is for acute relief, and cleaning uses water, not alcohol.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a blood transfusion. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider immediately?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Itching and hives signal a transfusion reaction (e.g., allergic), requiring immediate cessation and reporting. Mild fever, normal HR, and RR are less urgent.
