LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A parish nurse is planning activities for a faith-based community. What should the nurse include in these activities?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A parish nurse in a faith-based setting tailors care to the congregation's needs, weaving health into spiritual life. Including health promotion teaching nutrition or stress relief empowers members to thrive, aligning with nursing's wellness focus and faith's holistic ethos. Illness prevention, like flu shot drives, protects the group, vital in close-knit settings. Referrals to smoking cessation tap community resources, supporting behavior change, while screenings for chronic issues like hypertension catch problems early, common in adult parishioners. All fit, but health promotion anchors the plan, fostering proactive habits like exercise groups post-service that resonate with spiritual vitality. This approach leverages trust in faith settings, enhancing nursing's impact by blending physical and spiritual care, ensuring activities uplift health while honoring the community's beliefs and collective strength.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is assisting in planning care for a client scheduled for insertion of a tracheostomy. Which equipment should the nurse plan to have at the bedside when the client returns from surgery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-tracheostomy, the obturator (A) is essential at the bedside to reinsert the tube if dislodged, ensuring airway patency. An oral airway (B) is irrelevant for tracheostomy patients. Epinephrine (C) treats allergic reactions, not routine needs. A larger tracheostomy tube (D) isn't standard emergency equipment. A is correct. Rationale: The obturator facilitates immediate tube replacement, critical in the first 72 hours before a tract forms, preventing airway loss, a priority per surgical nursing standards over other less relevant items.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is providing endotracheal suctioning to a client who is mechanically ventilated, when the client becomes restless and tachycardic. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Restlessness and tachycardia during suctioning suggest hypoxia or distress; discontinuing suctioning and monitoring vital signs (D) is the priority to stabilize the client. Notifying the provider (A) or respiratory (B) delays immediate action. Hyperoxygenating and resuctioning (C) risks worsening hypoxia. D is correct. Rationale: Stopping suctioning halts oxygen depletion, allowing recovery, while monitoring guides further intervention, a standard response per airway management protocols. This prevents complications like arrhythmias or desaturation, prioritizing patient safety over premature escalation or repeated procedures in an unstable state.
Question 4 of 5
Outline the process of speciation
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Speciation involves reproductive isolation (B), preventing gene flow between populations, leading to new species. Splitting (A) is the outcome, not the process. Isolation factors (C) are mechanisms, not the core. Gene pool separation (D) is a result. B is correct. Rationale: Reproductive isolation, via geographic, behavioral, or temporal barriers, is the foundational process of speciation, driving genetic divergence over time, per evolutionary biology. This distinguishes it from outcomes or mechanisms, ensuring species evolve independently, as seen in Darwin's finches or allopatric speciation models.
