ATI Fundamentals LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
Founder of the PNA
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas founded the Philippine Nurses Association in 1922 e.g., advocating licensure elevating Filipino nursing. Sotejo (educator), Octaviano, and Dionisio differ. Her leadership shaped national standards, a key milestone in local nursing's professional history.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is more life threatening?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: BP 80/50 is most life-threatening e.g., hypoperfusion risks failure vs. 180/100 (hypertension), 160/120 (severe), 90/60 (borderline). Nurses prioritize this e.g., fluids for stability, per hemodynamics.
Question 3 of 5
A community health nurse is assessing client's urine using the Acetic Acid solution. Which of the following, if done by a nurse, indicates lack of correct knowledge with the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acetic acid tests protein cloudiness not glucose; heating only acid (no urine) is wrong. Urine (2/3), heating with urine, cloudiness (protein) are correct. Nurses need correction e.g., purpose for accuracy, per procedure.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is aware that the normal frequency of bowel sounds is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Normal bowel sounds are 5-35 gurgles/minute e.g., peristalsis per norms. Less (hypoactive), more (hyperactive) differ. Nurses count e.g., 1 minute for function, per standards.
Question 5 of 5
Which nursing actions will increase efficient management of client care and decrease the ramifications of the nursing shortage?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Addressing the nursing shortage and improving client care efficiency requires strategic actions that bolster the workforce and optimize practice. Pursuing postlicensure education enhances nurses' skills and adaptability, enabling them to handle diverse patient needs effectively, thus reducing strain from shortages. Becoming cross-trained in other hospital areas increases flexibility, allowing nurses to cover gaps and maintain care continuity across units. Implementing evidence-based clinical pathways standardizes care with proven methods, streamlining processes and minimizing errors, which is crucial when staffing is limited. Coordinating services before discharge ensures smoother transitions, reducing readmissions and workload. Taking early retirement, however, exacerbates the shortage by reducing experienced staff, counteracting efficiency goals. These proactive measures collectively strengthen care delivery, mitigate shortage impacts, and support a resilient healthcare system.
