LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client with a new prescription for a dry-powder inhaler (DPI) is receiving teaching from a healthcare provider. Which of the following statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Choosing option C, 'I will inhale the medication quickly,' demonstrates an understanding of DPI use. Inhaling the medication quickly ensures effective delivery of the dry powder to the lungs, maximizing its therapeutic effects. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as shaking the DPI, taking it with food, and using a spacer are not recommended practices for DPI administration.
Question 2 of 5
Contraindications to Lumbar puncture include all except:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Lumbar puncture (LP) risks complications if contraindicated. Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) (choice A) can cause herniation post-LP, a fatal risk. Neoplasm (choice B) or hematoma (choice C) may increase ICP or bleeding risk, making LP dangerous. Headache (choice D) is a symptom, not a contraindication, and may even prompt LP (e.g., meningitis diagnosis). D is correct, as headache doesn't preclude LP. Nurses assess for ICP signs (e.g., papilledema), ensure safety, and manage post-LP headaches, supporting diagnostic accuracy.
Question 3 of 5
Nelson syndrome is seen after:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nelson syndrome follows bilateral adrenalectomy (choice A), often for Cushing's, causing ACTH oversecretion from pituitary hyperplasia, darkening skin, and tumor risk. Hypopituitarism (choice B) reduces hormones, opposite effect. Hyperpituitarism (choice C) is unrelated. Growth hormone deficiency (choice D) doesn't cause this. A is correct, per endocrinology. Nurses monitor ACTH, skin changes, and support imaging, managing this rare sequel.
Question 4 of 5
Imelda is in the recovery stage after the incident. As a nurse, you know that the diet that will be prescribed to Miss Imelda is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: During recovery from massive tissue loss, Imelda needs a high protein, high calorie diet with vitamins A and C (B). Protein supports tissue repair and collagen synthesis, vital for wound healing. High calories provide energy for metabolic demands of recovery. Vitamins A and C enhance epithelialization and collagen formation. Low calorie options (A, D) lack energy for healing, while low protein (C, D) hinders tissue regeneration. This nutrient-rich diet matches the needs of second intention healing, where extensive repair occurs, making B the correct choice.
Question 5 of 5
What type of relaxation technique does Lyza uses if a machine is showing her pulse rate, temperature and muscle tension which she can visualize and assess?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Biofeedback (A) uses machines to display pulse, temperature, and muscle tension, allowing Lyza to visualize and control them. Massage (B) is physical, not machine-based. Autogenic training (C) involves self-suggestion, not devices. Visualization (D) is mental imagery, not monitored. Biofeedback trains self-regulation via real-time data, per psychology, matching the description and making A correct.
