ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Exam 3 Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for valsartan. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Valsartan's timing is flexible, aiding compliance. Potassium meals, cough (less common than with ACE inhibitors), or exercise limits aren't primary concerns.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a lumbar puncture. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Lying flat prevents post-lumbar puncture headache by reducing CSF leakage. Fluid restriction is unnecessary, warm compresses aren't standard, and temperature checks are more frequent if infection is suspected.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client who has a prescription for antibiotic therapy. The client reports experiencing diarrhea when taking antibiotics. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend to lessen the occurrence of diarrhea?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Yogurt's probiotics help restore gut flora, reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Coffee, ice cream, and apple juice may worsen diarrhea due to their diuretic, lactose, or sugar content.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for gabapentin. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gabapentin can cause drowsiness, requiring caution. Food intake is flexible, alcohol avoidance is prudent but secondary, and abrupt stopping risks symptom recurrence.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A temperature of 38.3°C suggests infection, requiring reporting. Mild pain, slight swelling, and good flexion are expected post-arthroplasty.
