Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
Developed the CLINICAL NURSING - A HELPING ART MODEL
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ernestine Wiedenbach's Clinical Nursing A Helping Art Model, from the 1960s, frames nursing as an art aiding patients' needs e.g., teaching a diabetic self-injection. Swanson's caring, Hall's core-care-cure, and Zderad's humanistic focus differ. Wiedenbach's practical, patient-centered approach, with its ‘clinical' emphasis, guides nurses in purposeful interventions, impacting training and bedside care.
Question 2 of 5
A framework for health assessment that evaluates the effects of stressors to the mind, body and environment in relation with the ability of the client to perform ADL.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Gordon's Functional Health Patterns (1980s) assess stressors' impact on mind, body, and environment re: ADLs e.g., mobility post-stroke. Unlike head-to-toe (physical order), body systems (organ-based), or cephalocaudal (top-down), it's holistic, guiding nurses in comprehensive, function-focused care planning.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following completely describes PULSUS PARADOXICUS?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pulsus paradoxus is an exaggerated systolic drop (>10 mmHg) on inspiration e.g., in pericardial effusion due to heart compression. Other options misalign: increase (opposite), or positional pulse (unrelated). Nurses detect this e.g., via sphygmomanometer for cardiac emergencies, per pathophysiology.
Question 4 of 5
If the client is female, and the doctor is a male and the patient is about to undergo a vaginal and cervical examination, why is it necessary to have a female nurse in attendance?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Proposed the GRAND THEORY OF NURSING AS CARING
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Anne Boykin and Savina Schoenhofer's Grand Theory of Nursing as Caring (1990s) views all humans as caring, with nursing responding to this essence e.g., aiding a stranger instinctively. Erickson's modeling, Peterson's humanism, and Benner's skill focus differ. As a grand theory, it shapes ethical practice, emphasizing universal caring as nursing's moral core, influencing holistic care perspectives.
