Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to conduct a nursing research study and is seeking federal funding. Which institution would be most helpful for the nurse to contact regarding acquiring funding?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For federal funding in nursing research, the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), part of the National Institutes of Health, is the primary resource. Established following a 1983 Institute of Medicine study, NINR supports research on client care, health promotion, and disease prevention, funding studies that mitigate chronic conditions' effects and advance nursing science. It's instrumental in disseminating seminal work, offering grants for projects from clinical trials to health disparities research. The American Nurses Association focuses on advocacy and standards, not funding. The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education accredits programs, while the ANA Cabinet sets research priorities, not budgets. NINR's federal backing and nursing-specific mission make it the go-to for financial support, aligning with the nurse's goal to contribute to evidence-based practice.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a middle-aged client who states, 'I haven't had a physical exam for over a decade because I've been healthy.' Which nursing response promotes health for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Promoting health for a middle-aged client who hasn't had a checkup in years requires proactive encouragement, as many conditions like hypertension or early cancer progress silently. The nurse's response should urge scheduling an exam soon, emphasizing that symptom absence doesn't guarantee health, especially in middle age when risks rise. This aligns with primary and secondary prevention, catching issues before they escalate, like detecting high cholesterol to prevent heart disease. Dismissing exams until symptoms appear ignores evidence screenings save lives by identifying treatable issues early. Vague reassurance or suggesting exams are optional undermines health promotion, while claiming middle age frees one from checkups contradicts medical consensus on aging risks. The nurse empowers the client with facts, fostering responsibility and awareness, key to nursing's role in averting preventable decline through routine care.
Question 3 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.
