LPN Fundamentals Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Bell's palsy is due to the injuries of which cranial nerve :
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bell's palsy causes unilateral facial weakness due to cranial nerve dysfunction. The trigeminal nerve (choice A, CN V) controls sensation and chewing, not facial movement. The trochlear nerve (choice B, CN IV) moves the eye, irrelevant here. The facial nerve (choice C, CN VII) innervates facial muscles; its injury (often idiopathic or viral) leads to Bell's palsy, with symptoms like drooping mouth or eye. The hypoglossal nerve (choice D, CN XII) moves the tongue. C is correct, as facial nerve damage is the established cause. Nurses assess symmetry, support eye care (due to incomplete closure), and educate on recovery, typically spontaneous within months.
Question 2 of 5
Among the following all are the components of GOBI F3; EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: GOBI F3 (UNICEF) promotes child health: Growth monitoring, Oral rehydration, Breastfeeding, Immunization (choice
C), Female education (choice
B), Family planning, Food supplements (choice
D). Female feticide (choice
A), illegal and harmful, isn't part of this initiative. A is correct, the exception. Nurses advocate GOBI F3, deliver vaccines, and teach nutrition, enhancing child survival.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following WBC component proliferates in cases of Anaphylaxis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, eosinophils (
C) proliferate due to their role in combating allergens and parasites via histamine release and inflammation modulation. Neutrophils (
A) focus on bacterial infections, not allergies. Basophils (
B) release histamine too, but their numbers don't surge as eosinophils do in allergic states; they initiate the response. Monocytes (
D) handle chronic inflammation, not acute hypersensitivity. Eosinophils rise in blood and tissues during anaphylaxis, reflecting their specialization in allergic conditions, making C the correct answer based on immunological specificity.
Question 4 of 5
Elton, 21 year old nursing student is taking the board examination. She is sweating profusely, has decreased awareness of his environment and is purely focused on the exam questions characterized by his selective attentiveness. What anxiety level is Elton exemplifying?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Elton's moderate anxiety (
B) is shown by profuse sweating, reduced environmental awareness, and selective focus on the exam. Mild (
A) boosts alertness without distress. Severe (
C) severely impairs function, while panic (
D) causes disorganization, unlike Elton's controlled focus. Moderate anxiety narrows perception but aids task concentration, fitting his test-taking state per anxiety levels, making B correct.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is a characteristic of crisis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A crisis characteristic is a triggering event (
B), a sudden disruption (e.g., loss), per Caplan. It's time-limited (not
A), dangerous (not
C), and involves the whole person (not
D). B's trigger is core to crisis definition, making it correct.
