LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A healthcare provider is assessing a client who has fluid volume excess. Which of the following findings should the healthcare provider expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Crackles in the lungs are indicative of fluid accumulation in the alveoli, which is a characteristic finding in clients with fluid volume excess. The crackling sound occurs due to the presence of excess fluid in the lungs, impairing normal ventilation and gas exchange. Monitoring for crackles is essential for early detection and management of fluid overload in clients.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for a low-cholesterol diet. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?

Question 4 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 5 of 5
Which of the following therapies is based on 'learning theory'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Learning theory underpins therapies that modify behavior through principles like conditioning. Behaviour therapy (choice A) directly applies learning theory, using techniques such as operant conditioning (rewards/punishments) and classical conditioning (stimulus-response pairing) to address maladaptive behaviors, like phobias or addiction. Psychoanalytic therapy (choice B) focuses on unconscious conflicts and past experiences, rooted in Freudian theory, not learning principles. Milieu therapy (choice C) emphasizes a therapeutic environment to foster social learning, but it's not strictly based on learning theory's conditioning mechanisms. Cognitive therapy (choice D) targets thought patterns to change behavior, incorporating some learning elements but primarily stemming from cognitive psychology. Choice A is correct because behaviour therapy explicitly relies on learning theory's framework, systematically altering behaviors through reinforcement or desensitization. Nurses use this in practice, such as in managing anxiety disorders with exposure techniques, highlighting its relevance in clinical settings where observable behavior change is the goal.
