ATI RN VATI Comprehensive Predictor
2025 Form A, B AND C / ATI RN ATI
Comprehensive Predictor 2025 Form A, B
and C (REVISED Q&As)
Question 1
Which task can a nurse safely delegate to an assistive personnel (AP)?
a. Assessing a client's pain after medication
b. Teaching a client how to use an incentive spirometer
c. Ambulating a client to the bathroom
d. Evaluating a client's response to a diuretic
, ANS: C
Rationale:
Page | 2 Tasks involving assessment, education, and evaluation require RN-level critical thinking and
cannot be delegated. Ambulating a stable client is within the AP’s scope of practice, provided the
nurse has assessed safety risks beforehand.
DIF: Understand (comprehension)
OBJ: Identify roles within the healthcare team and appropriate delegation
TOP: Management of Care
MSC: Safe and Effective Care Environment
Question 2
A nurse is caring for a client receiving IV gentamicin. Which lab value should the nurse monitor
to assess for toxicity?
a. Hemoglobin
b. Creatinine
c. White blood cell count
d. Platelet count
ANS: B
, Rationale:
Gentamicin is nephrotoxic. Elevated creatinine levels can indicate renal impairment. Monitoring
kidney function is essential for early detection of toxicity.

DIF: Analyze (analysis)
OBJ: Identify effects and toxicities of medications
TOP: Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies
MSC: Physiological Integrity – Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies
Question 3
A nurse is reviewing the history of a client with suspected tuberculosis (TB). Which symptom
should the nurse expect?
a. Productive cough for 2 weeks
b. Sudden chest pain
c. Headache with photophobia
d. Rash on palms and soles
ANS: A
Rationale:
Classic TB symptoms include chronic productive cough, weight loss, night sweats, and low-
grade fever. A cough lasting more than 2 weeks should prompt TB evaluation.
, DIF: Understand (comprehension)
OBJ: Identify manifestations of infectious diseases
TOP: Health Promotion and Maintenance

MSC: Physiological Integrity – Reduction of Risk Potential
Question 4
Which finding in a newborn requires immediate intervention?
a. Transient strabismus
b. Respiration rate of 58/min
c. Nasal flaring
d. Acrocyanosis
ANS: C
Rationale:
Nasal flaring is a sign of respiratory distress in newborns. While transient strabismus and
acrocyanosis can be normal shortly after birth, nasal flaring indicates potential hypoxia.
DIF: Apply (application)
OBJ: Recognize normal vs. abnormal findings in newborns
TOP: Physiological Adaptation
