LPN Fundamentals Exam Questions
Question 1 of 9
According to Roy, The person has 4 modes of adaptation EXCEPT
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Roy's Adaptation Model (1970s) lists four modes: physiologic (body needs), self-concept (identity), role function (social roles), and interdependence (relationships) e.g., adjusting diet, self-esteem, work, and support. Subjective data isn't a mode but a data type, making it the exception. This framework guides nurses in holistic patient assessment.
Question 2 of 9
Which of the following statement is incorrect about a patient with dysphagia?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dysphagia patients often need feeding assistance, making this statement incorrect.
Question 3 of 9
When working in a facility that uses focus charting, the nurse will use which of the following as a focus of care?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Focus charting prioritizes client concerns and strengths, like anxiety or resilience, guiding care around current issues and assets. Initial problems or functioning levels are static, and goals are outcomes, not foci. This method keeps nursing care dynamic and client-centered, enhancing relevance in daily practice.
Question 4 of 9
Which is a preferable arm for BP taking?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The right arm is preferred e.g., standard unless contraindicated (e.g., IVs). Contraptions (interference), left arm post-CVA (weakness), or left default don't apply. Nurses choose this e.g., routine for consistency, per guidelines.
Question 5 of 9
This patient care model works best when there are plenty of patient but few nurses
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Functional nursing suits high patient loads with few nurses by assigning specific tasks (e.g., one nurse for meds, another for vitals). This task-oriented efficiency, unlike team nursing's collaboration, primary nursing's continuity, or total care's one-on-one focus, maximizes limited staff. Though it risks fragmented care, its repetitive nature fosters expertise, making it practical in resource-scarce settings.
Question 6 of 9
In what period of nursing does people believe in TREPHINING to drive evil forces away?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Intuitive Period (prehistory-6th century) saw trephining drilling skull holes to expel evil spirits causing illness, per Egyptian beliefs. Unlike the Dark Period (religious decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (formal training), this era relied on instinct and superstition, shaping early nursing's rudimentary care approaches.
Question 7 of 9
Which of the following, if seen on the Nurses notes, violates characteristic of good recording?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Refused betaxolol' (C) violates good recording; it lacks why or follow-up, per standards (e.g., completeness). A, B, D are specific and clear. C's brevity omits context, making it the violation.
Question 8 of 9
Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the ERROR OF PARALLAX
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Parallax error occurs when eye level misaligns with the mercury meniscus e.g., higher eyes read lower (false low), lower eyes read higher. Eye-level accuracy is key. Nurses position e.g., at meniscus height for true BP, per measurement precision principles.
Question 9 of 9
Which of the following statement is NOT true about interdisciplinary care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Interdisciplinary care improves outcomes (A), involves pros (B), boosts communication (D) 'excludes patient input' (C) isn't true, often includes it, per model. C's exclusion fails, making it untrue.
