LPN Fundamentals Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
According to Maslow, which of the following is TRUE about a self actualized person?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Maslow's self-actualized individual (1940s) decides independently e.g., rejecting trends for ethics. They predict events (insight), aren't self-centered (altruistic), and minimize conflict. Nurses foster this e.g., supporting unconventional choices enhancing self-directed health decisions, per humanistic theory.
Question 2 of 5
When is the best time to collect urine specimen for routine urinalysis and C/S?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Early morning urine first void e.g., concentrated is best for urinalysis/C&S, detecting glucose, bacteria. Later dilutes; midnight, pre-breakfast vary. Nurses collect e.g., 6 AM for accuracy, per protocols.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is assessing a post operative client who underwent a colostomy, which of the following findings will warrant further nursing interventions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A pale, dry stoma e.g., ischemia needs intervention (e.g., notify MD), unlike red (healthy), bloody-to-green (normal), or green (expected). Nurses assess e.g., color for complications, per ostomy care.
Question 4 of 5
A group of nursing students has attended a presentation about the National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA). Which statement by the group indicates that they have understood the information presented?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) is a student-led organization designed to support nursing students' professional development, and understanding its purpose is key for students. The correct statement, that it provides programs of current professional interest, reflects its role in offering educational events, leadership opportunities, and resources tailored to students' needs, preparing them for their future careers. The NSNA does not primarily focus on improving public health, which is more aligned with bodies like the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. It is not run by registered nurses but by students themselves, emphasizing peer leadership and engagement. Additionally, it is student-funded through membership dues, not supported by the national government. This distinction highlights the NSNA's unique position as a grassroots organization fostering professional growth, networking, and advocacy among nursing students, ensuring they are well-equipped to enter the profession with relevant skills and knowledge.
Question 5 of 5
Which are goals of nursing theory?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nursing theory serves as a foundational framework, guiding practice with clear goals. It provides knowledge and a rationale for client interventions, explaining why specific actions like wound care techniques benefit patients, rooted in conceptual understanding. It offers a rationale for appropriate nursing actions, ensuring responses to situations, such as pain management, are logical and effective. Identifying and defining concepts important to nursing like health or caring clarifies the discipline's focus, fostering consistency. Increasing the nursing body of knowledge expands its intellectual base through theoretical development. However, it doesn't provide a single definition for nursing, instead directing it toward a common purpose across diverse interpretations. These goals unify nursing, bridging theory to practice, and equip nurses to deliver informed, purposeful care that adapts to client needs and evolves with new insights.
