LPN Nursing Fundamentals Questions
Question 1 of 5
Freud postulated that child adopts parental standards and traits through
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, from the early 1900s, posits children adopt parental standards via identification e.g., mimicking a father's demeanor. Imitation (copying), introjection (internalizing), and regression (reverting) differ. This process shapes superego development, influencing behaviors like empathy in nursing, where early role models affect caregiving styles.
Question 2 of 5
Tympanic temperature is taken from John, A client who was brought recently into the ER due to frequent barking cough. The temperature reads 37.9 Degrees Celsius. As a nurse, you conclude that this temperature is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Tympanic temp of 37.9°C falls within normal (36.6-38°C) e.g., slightly elevated from barking cough stress. It's not high (>38°C), low (<36.6°C), or low-end. Nurses interpret this as high-normal, monitoring for trends in acute respiratory cases, per standard ranges.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is TRUE about the mechanism of action of the Aortic and Carotid bodies?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Aortic and carotid bodies, chemoreceptors, slow respiration when BP rises e.g., baroreceptors signal reduced need for O2 delivery. Increased RR (hypoxia), alkalosis (pH), or acidosis (metabolic) misalign. Nurses note this e.g., in hypertension for respiratory adjustments, per cardiovascular interplay.
Question 4 of 5
When should the client test his blood sugar levels for greater accuracy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Before meals e.g., fasting glucose offers accurate baseline sugar levels, unlike during (eating), between (variable), or post-meal (spike). Nurses advise this e.g., AM checks for diabetes monitoring, per endocrinology standards.
Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: John Westerhoff's faith theory (1970s) sees faith as evolving behavior e.g., from received to owned faith through life events. Gilligan's ethics, Fowler's abstract faith, and Freud's psychology differ. His experiential stages affiliative, searching guide nursing's spiritual care, helping patients express faith through actions, enhancing holistic support.
