A nurse is caring for a newborn with a blood glucose level of 30 mg/dL. Which of the following
manifestations should the nurse expect?
A. Loose stools
B. Jitteriness
C. Hypertonia
D. Abdominal distention
**Correct Answer**: B. Jitteriness
**Rationale**: A blood glucose level of 30 mg/dL in a newborn indicates hypoglycemia.
Common manifestations include jitteriness, tremors, irritability, and poor feeding. Loose stools,
hypertonia, and abdominal distention are not typically associated with hypoglycemia in
newborns.[](https://www.stuvia.com/en-us/doc/7461860/ati-exit-exam-rn-comprehensive-

Since you’ve asked for “more” in reference to the ATI RN Comprehensive Exit Exam NGN (2025
Version), I’ll assume you want additional sample questions with answers and rationales to help
you prepare. I’ll provide a few more NGN-style practice questions covering different content
areas typically tested on the ATI Comprehensive Exit Exam, such as medical-surgical,
pharmacology, pediatrics, and mental health. Each question will include a correct answer and a
detailed rationale to support your learning. If you meant something else by “more” (e.g.,
specific topics, study tips, or a different format), please clarify, and I’ll tailor the response
accordingly.
,### Sample NGN-Style Questions for ATI RN Comprehensive Exit Exam
#### Question 1: Medical-Surgical (Case Study Format)
**Scenario**: A nurse is caring for a 62-year-old male client admitted with an exacerbation of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The client’s vital signs are: BP 142/88 mmHg, HR
96 bpm, RR 28 breaths/min, SpO2 88% on 2 L/min oxygen via nasal cannula, temperature 98.6°F
(37°C). The client reports increased dyspnea and productive cough with yellow sputum. Arterial
blood gas (ABG) results show: pH 7.32, PaCO2 55 mmHg, PaO2 70 mmHg, HCO3- 28 mEq/L.
**Question**:
Based on the client’s presentation and ABG results, which intervention should the nurse
prioritize?
A. Administer a bronchodilator via nebulizer.
B. Increase oxygen flow to 4 L/min via nasal cannula.
C. Initiate IV antibiotics immediately.
D. Place the client in a supine position to promote rest.
**Correct Answer**: A. Administer a bronchodilator via nebulizer.
**Rationale**: The client’s ABG results indicate respiratory acidosis (pH 7.32, PaCO2 55 mmHg)
due to CO2 retention, common in COPD exacerbations. The SpO2 of 88% and increased dyspnea
suggest bronchoconstriction and airway obstruction. Administering a bronchodilator (e.g.,
albuterol) is the priority to open airways and improve ventilation. Increasing oxygen flow (B)
may be considered, but COPD clients require cautious oxygen titration to avoid suppressing
their respiratory drive (target SpO2 is typically 88–92%). IV antibiotics (C) may be needed for
infection, but sputum culture results or a provider’s order would guide this, and it’s not the
immediate priority. A supine position (D) could worsen dyspnea; a semi-Fowler’s position is
preferred.
#### Question 2: Pharmacology (Select-All-That-Apply)
, **Scenario**: A nurse is preparing to administer medications to a client with heart failure. The
client is prescribed furosemide 40 mg IV, lisinopril 10 mg PO, and digoxin 0.125 mg PO.
**Question**:
Which actions should the nurse take before administering these medications? (Select all that
apply.)
A. Check the client’s apical pulse.
B. Assess the client’s potassium level.
C. Monitor the client’s blood pressure.
D. Verify the client’s allergy to sulfa drugs.
E. Ensure the client has eaten a full meal.
**Correct Answers**: A, B, C
**Rationale**:
- **A. Check the client’s apical pulse**: Required before administering digoxin, as it can cause
bradycardia. Hold the dose if the pulse is below 60 bpm.
- **B. Assess the client’s potassium level**: Furosemide, a loop diuretic, can cause
hypokalemia, which increases the risk of digoxin toxicity.
- **C. Monitor the client’s blood pressure**: Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, can cause hypotension,
so BP should be checked.
- **D. Verify the client’s allergy to sulfa drugs**: Not relevant here, as furosemide is a loop
diuretic, not a sulfonamide antibiotic, though some clients may have cross-sensitivity (less
urgent than A, B, C).
- **E. Ensure the client has eaten a full meal**: Not required, as none of these medications
need to be taken with food; lisinopril can be taken with or without food.
#### Question 3: Pediatrics (Prioritization)
**Scenario**: A nurse in the pediatric emergency department is caring for a 4-year-old child
with a suspected asthma exacerbation. The child is using accessory muscles to breathe, has a
