LPN Fundamentals Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client in a long term care facility complains of pain. The nurse collects data about the client's pain. The first step in pain assessment is for the nurse to
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Accepting the client's report is the foundation of pain assessment.
Question 2 of 5
Caring means that person, events, projects and things matter to people. It reveals stress and coping options. Caring creates responsibility. It is an inherent feature of nursing practice. It helps the nurse assist clients to recover in the face of the illness.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Patricia Benner's model, rooted in her 1980s work ‘From Novice to Expert,' frames caring as a relational act where people and events matter, fostering connection. She sees it as inherent to nursing, revealing stress and coping strategies while driving responsibility to aid recovery. Unlike Watson's spiritual lens, Leininger's cultural emphasis, or Swanson's processes, Benner ties caring to skill development e.g., an expert nurse intuitively comforts a distressed patient, re-establishing trust. Her ‘Care Bear' mnemonic links caring to connection, influencing how nurses progress from rule-based to intuitive practice, a concept widely applied in clinical education and mentorship.
Question 3 of 5
He proposed the theory of morality based on PRINCIPLES
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: R.S. Peters' moral theory, from the 1960s, centers on principles like justice and honesty e.g., a nurse acts kindly out of habit. Freud's drives, Erikson's stages, and Kohlberg's trust differ. Peters' view of morality as emotion, judgment, and behavior, rooted in automatic virtues, guides nurses in ethical consistency, impacting professional conduct standards.
Question 4 of 5
According to Maslow, which of the following is NOT TRUE about a self actualized person?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Maslow's self-actualized person (1940s) is autonomous, creative, and problem-focused e.g., pursuing personal goals over crowd opinion. They value privacy and insight (poetry, science), not majority rule, though they uphold justice personally. This autonomy guides nurses in supporting patients' unique aspirations, fostering self-directed recovery.
Question 5 of 5
Hyperpyrexia is a condition in which the temperature is greater than
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hyperpyrexia is a temperature above 40°C (104°F) e.g., in severe infections beyond normal fever (38-39°C). Lower thresholds (39°C, 100°F) or extreme (105.8°F) don't define it. Nurses recognize this critical level, triggering urgent cooling measures to prevent organ damage, per emergency protocols.
