ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Retake Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse overhears two assistive personnel (AP) in the nurses' station discussing a client who was recently admitted. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Telling the APs to stop the conversation is correct. Discussing client information in a public area violates HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) privacy regulations. The nurse should immediately intervene and remind the APs about maintaining client confidentiality.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is administering pancrelipase to a child who has cystic fibrosis. Which of the following outcomes should the nurse expect as a therapeutic effect of the treatment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Reduced fat in the stools is correct. Pancrelipase is an enzyme replacement therapy that helps improve digestion and absorption of fats and proteins in individuals with cystic fibrosis. This treatment is especially important for those with pancreatic insufficiency, as it helps prevent the steatorrhea (fatty stools) commonly seen in these patients.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse overhears two assistive personnel discussing a client's medical history in the hallway. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Telling the staff members to stop their discussion is correct. The nurse should immediately address the situation by asking the APs to stop discussing the client's medical history in the hallway to protect client confidentiality. This is the most immediate and effective action in ensuring the client's privacy is respected.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen solution 60 mg orally to a 7-month-old infant who is febrile. Available is ibuprofen 50 mg/1.25 mL. How many should the nurse administer? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct dose is 1.5 mL.
To calculate: (60 mg / 50 mg) * 1.25 mL = 1.5 mL. This ensures the infant receives the prescribed 60 mg of ibuprofen.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following over-the-counter medications should the nurse identify as safe for use with warfarin?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Docusate is correct. Docusate is a stool softener, and it does not have a significant effect on blood clotting.
Therefore, it is considered safe for use with warfarin, which requires careful monitoring to avoid interactions that may increase bleeding risks.
