LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assisting in planning care for a client scheduled for insertion of a tracheostomy. Which equipment should the nurse plan to have at the bedside when the client returns from surgery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-tracheostomy, the obturator (
A) is essential at the bedside to reinsert the tube if dislodged, ensuring airway patency. An oral airway (
B) is irrelevant for tracheostomy patients. Epinephrine (
C) treats allergic reactions, not routine needs. A larger tracheostomy tube (
D) isn't standard emergency equipment. A is correct.
Rationale: The obturator facilitates immediate tube replacement, critical in the first 72 hours before a tract forms, preventing airway loss, a priority per surgical nursing standards over other less relevant items.
Question 2 of 5
The skeletal system acts as a storehouse for calcium, which is a very important component in muscle contractions, as well as which of the following activities in the body?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Calcium from bones supports blood clotting, beyond muscle contractions, not testosterone, seizures, or lymph. Nurses monitor this in clotting disorders.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is responsible for deep and prolonged inspiration
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The pons' apneustic center drives deep, prolonged inspiration e.g., in gasping unless overridden by pneumotaxic control. Medulla sets rhythm, carotid/aortic bodies monitor gases. Nurses note this e.g., in brain injury for altered breathing patterns, per respiratory neurology.
