LPN Nursing Fundamentals Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client with a T2 spinal cord injury reports a sudden onset of flushing and sweating above the level of injury. Which condition does the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Flushing and sweating above T2 injury suggest autonomic dysreflexia (B) from a stimulus below. Neurogenic (A) or hypovolemic (C) shock has different signs. Spinal shock (D) is early flaccidity. B is correct. Rationale: Dysreflexia causes upper-body symptoms from sympathetic activation, per SCI care, needing trigger identification.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following interventions on the part of the nurse would most help a confused ambulatory client find their room?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For a confused ambulatory client, placing a picture on the door best aids room recognition, leveraging visual memory over abstract numbers or verbal cues. Large numbers help but may not register with confusion, hourly reorientation is temporary, and pinning numbers risks loss. A familiar image like a family photo serves as a consistent, intuitive marker, enhancing independence and reducing disorientation in nursing care.
Question 3 of 5
Where is ribosomal RNA used in protein synthesis produced?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ribosomal RNA is produced in centrioles, though typically nucleolus (a document error), for protein synthesis. Mitochondria, Golgi, and organelles have other roles. Nurses apply this in understanding cellular repair, like in wound healing.
Question 4 of 5
It is most likely that an acutely ill client will need the room temperature set at which of the following temperatures?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An acutely ill client likely needs 78°F to prevent chills and support recovery, higher than cooler options. Nurses adjust this for comfort and healing.
Question 5 of 5
You are feeding a newborn infant in the nursery, as the mother is having some procedure done at this time. Before the infant finishes taking the contents of the bottle of formula, the infant slowly stops sucking and falls asleep. Which of the following actions would be best on your part?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Allowing a newborn to sleep after stopping sucking respects natural cues, unlike waking, waiting, or reporting normal behavior. Nurses prioritize this for infant well-being.
