Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
The normal transparency of a freshly voided urine is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following intervention is inappropriate for client's with anxiety?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Detailed explanations (
C) are inappropriate for anxious clients, as they overwhelm and increase distress, especially in moderate-to-severe states. Offering choices (
A) empowers, a quiet environment (
B) soothes, and reducing anxiety (
D) is the goal all apt. Anxiety narrows focus, per Peplau; excess information hinders coping. Simple, clear communication suits better, making C the incorrect intervention.
Question 3 of 5
Which patient is at the greatest risk for developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to immobility?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A patient post-surgery faces the greatest deep vein thrombosis risk due to immobility during recovery, slowing circulation and promoting clotting. Hypertension or diabetes contributes less directly, and regular exercise reduces risk. Nurses focus on this group with prophylaxis like anticoagulants or leg exercises, recognizing surgery's unique immobility burden as a critical factor in thrombus formation.
Question 4 of 5
This type of healing occurs when there is a delayed surgical closure of infected wound
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Third intention healing (
C) occurs with delayed surgical closure of an infected wound, allowing time for infection control before suturing. First intention (
A) involves primary closure of clean wounds with minimal scarring. Second intention (
B) is healing by granulation in open wounds, without surgical closure. Fourth intention (
D) isn't a recognized term in wound healing. In third intention, the wound is initially left open to drain and treat infection, then closed later, balancing infection management and tissue approximation. This matches the scenario of delayed closure, making C the correct answer based on wound healing classifications.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse in charge measures a patient's temperature at 101 degrees F. What is the equivalent centigrade temperature?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, the formula is (°F - 32) / 1.8. For a temperature of 101°F: subtract 32 (101 - 32 = 69), then divide by 1.8 (69 / 1.8 ≈ 38.33). Rounding to one decimal place, this equals 38.3°C, matching the provided option. This conversion is vital in healthcare settings where Celsius is commonly used, ensuring accurate communication of a patient's condition. A temperature of 38.3°C indicates a fever, which could signal infection or inflammation, guiding the nurse's next steps in care. The other choices are incorrect: 36.3°C is too low (equivalent to about 97.3°F, below normal); 40.03°C is too high (about 104°F); and 38.01°C is slightly off due to rounding errors. Precision in temperature conversion enhances patient monitoring and treatment decisions, making 38.3°C the correct equivalent for 101°F in this clinical context.
