Introduction
,This comprehensive examination is designed to assess practical nursing knowledge and clinical reasoning skills
essential for success on the ATI PN Comprehensive Predictor Exit Exam. The assessment evaluates competency in
safe and effective care environments, health promotion, psychosocial integrity, pharmacological therapies, and
physiological adaptation. Questions are presented in multiple-choice and scenario-based formats that include Next
Generation NCLEX (NGN) style items, requiring candidates to prioritize interventions, apply evidence-based
practice, demonstrate clinical judgment, and uphold legal and ethical standards. Successful completion of this
examination indicates readiness for nursing practice and preparation for the PN licensure examination.
SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–100
Question 1
A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for a continuous IV infusion of potassium chloride. Which
action should the nurse take?
A. Administer the infusion via IV push
B. Monitor the IV site for signs of infiltration
C. Infuse the potassium at a rate of 20 mEq/hour
D. Mix the potassium with lactated Ringer's solution
🟢 B. Monitor the IV site for signs of infiltration
,🔴 RATIONALE: Potassium is a vesicant and can cause severe tissue necrosis if extravasation occurs. Monitoring
the IV site is critical. IV potassium should never be given by push; the maximum infusion rate is typically 10
mEq/hour; and it should not be mixed with solutions containing potassium.
Question 2
A client who is 2 days post-operative following abdominal surgery has a temperature of 38.6°C (101.5°F), heart
rate of 110 beats per minute, and reports increased incisional pain. The nurse observes purulent drainage from
the surgical site. Which action should the nurse take first?
A. Administer the prescribed PRN analgesic
B. Apply a sterile dressing over the incision
C. Notify the healthcare provider immediately
D. Obtain a wound culture specimen
🟢 C. Notify the healthcare provider immediately
🔴 RATIONALE: The combination of fever, tachycardia, and purulent drainage indicates a surgical site infection
that requires prompt medical evaluation and likely antibiotic therapy. Delaying notification could lead to sepsis.
While obtaining a culture is important, it should be done after notifying the provider or as ordered.
Question 3
, A client on a medical-surgical unit is experiencing acute shortness of breath. Which position should the nurse
place the client in to facilitate breathing?
A. Supine
B. Prone
C. High Fowler's
D. Left lateral
🟢 C. High Fowler's
🔴 RATIONALE: High Fowler's position (sitting upright at 90 degrees) uses gravity to assist with lung expansion
and is the best position for a client experiencing dyspnea. This position also reduces pressure on the
diaphragm.
Question 4
A nurse is assessing a client's peripheral IV site and notes redness, warmth, and a palpable cord along the vein.
The nurse should document this finding as:
A. Infiltration
B. Phlebitis
C. Extravasation
D. Hematoma
🟢 B. Phlebitis
