180 Questions — Verified Answers & Rationales
Version 1 of 6 | ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor 2026 Exit Exam
Question 1 SATA
Content Area: Management of Care
A charge nurse is reviewing the rights of delegation with a group of newly licensed nurses. Which of the following
statements should the charge nurse include in the teaching?
A. The right task means the delegated task must be appropriate for the delegatee.
B. The right person involves delegating to the most experienced nurse available.
C. The right direction requires the nurse to provide clear and specific instructions.
D. The right supervision means following up to evaluate task completion.
E. The right circumstances include ensuring the delegatee has the authority to perform the task.
CORRECT ANSWER: A, C, D, E
RATIONALE: The five rights of delegation are: right task, right circumstance, right person, right
direction/communication, and right supervision/evaluation. Option B is incorrect because 'right person' refers to
matching task to the delegatee's scope of practice and competency — not necessarily the most experienced
nurse.
Question 2 MCQ
Content Area: Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies
A nurse is preparing to administer a unit of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) to a client. Which of the following
actions should the nurse take first?
A. Obtain a large-bore IV access.
B. Verify the blood product with another nurse at the bedside.
C. Obtain the client's baseline vital signs.
D. Prime the blood tubing with 0.9% sodium chloride.
CORRECT ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Before initiating a blood transfusion, the nurse must verify the blood product with another licensed
nurse. This is a critical safety step to prevent transfusion errors. Although baseline vital signs, IV access, and
priming are all necessary steps, verification is the priority action to ensure the correct blood product is given to
the correct client.
Question 3 MCQ
Content Area: Physiological Adaptation
A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and is receiving furosemide. Which of the following findings
requires the nurse to notify the provider?
A. Urine output of 60 mL/hr
B. Blood pressure of 118/76 mmHg
C. Serum potassium of 2.9 mEq/L
