Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse wants to decrease the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in a group of adolescents. Which action reflects primary prevention?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Primary prevention stops STIs before they occur, key for adolescents at risk from sexual activity. Educating about condom use reducing infection odds by 80% per studies teaches safe practices, a nursing-led action targeting behavior before exposure. Screening is secondary, catching STIs early. Referring or teaching meds is tertiary, managing existing cases. Condom education fits primary's proactive core, empowering teens with knowledge correct use slashes chlamydia or HIV rates in a community setting where peer influence peaks. Nursing's role here prevents incidence spikes, aligning with public health goals to curb STIs through accessible, age-appropriate education, not reaction, ensuring lasting behavioral impact.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is performing nasotracheal suctioning of a client. The nurse determines that the client is adequately tolerating the procedure if which observation is made?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a spinal cord injury. Which assessment findings alert the nurse that the client is developing autonomic hyperreflexia (autonomic dysreflexia)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord injury features hypertension and bradycardia (A) from unopposed sympathetic response below the injury. Paralysis (B) is baseline. Sweating/pyrexia (C) or tachycardia/shock (D) don't fit. A is correct. Rationale: Reflexive BP spike and slowed heart rate signal this emergency, requiring immediate action like removing stimuli, per SCI care.
Question 4 of 5
A client with a traumatic brain injury is receiving mechanical ventilation. The nurse notes that the client's intracranial pressure (ICP) is $18 \mathrm{mmHg}$. Which ventilator setting should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
When nurses assist clients in exploring their lifestyle habits and health behaviors to identify health risks, nurses are most likely to use which of the following models?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nurses helping clients explore lifestyle habits and health behaviors to identify risks most likely use wellness models. These frameworks focus on holistic health promotion, emphasizing prevention and self-awareness over disease treatment, unlike the medical model's pathology focus. Wellness models, like Pender's Health Promotion Model, assess habits like diet or exercise to pinpoint risks and encourage positive change, aligning with nursing's preventive role. The psychosocial model addresses emotional factors, and the physiological model targets bodily functions, but neither fully encompasses lifestyle exploration. This approach empowers clients to take proactive steps, such as reducing smoking to prevent lung disease, enhancing overall well-being.
