LPN Fundamentals Exam 1 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Glucose is added to anti-diarrhoeal solution because:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Oral rehydration solutions (ORS) combat dehydration in diarrhea by enhancing fluid absorption. Glucose in ORS doesn't merely improve taste (choice A), though palatability helps compliance. It doesn't directly increase amino acid absorption (choice B), as its role isn't protein-related. Instead, glucose increases sodium absorption (choice C) via the sodium-glucose cotransport mechanism in the gut, where glucose facilitates sodium uptake, driving water absorption osmotically. Choice D, 'all of the above,' is incorrect because A and B are not primary functions. C is the correct answer, reflecting glucose's critical physiological role in ORS efficacy. Nurses administering ORS must understand this mechanism to explain its importance to caregivers, ensuring proper use in diarrhea management, especially in children, where dehydration can escalate rapidly without this sodium-glucose synergy.
Question 2 of 5
A patient with Menieres Disease is experiencing severe vertigo. Which instruction should the nurse give to the patient to assist in controlling the vertigo.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Meniere's disease causes vertigo from inner ear fluid imbalance. Increasing sodium (choice A) worsens fluid retention, triggering attacks. Avoiding sudden head movements (choice B) reduces vestibular stimulation, easing vertigo. Lying still watching TV (choice C) may provoke symptoms via visual input. More fluid (choice D) isn't helpful. B is correct, standard advice. Nurses teach this, monitor attacks, and support low-salt diets, improving quality of life.
Question 3 of 5
The client is on NPO post midnight. Which of the following, if done by the client, is sufficient to cancel the operation in the morning?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: NPO (nothing by mouth) post-midnight ensures an empty stomach for surgery to prevent aspiration. Smoking at 3:00 A.M (D) violates NPO, as it involves inhalation and can stimulate gastric secretions, posing risks. Eating at 10:00 P.M (A) or drinking at 11:50 P.M (B) occur before midnight, adhering to NPO. Brushing teeth (C) doesn't involve ingestion. Smoking's timing and physiological impact breach NPO, potentially necessitating cancellation, making D the correct answer.
Question 4 of 5
Grace, believes that her relationship with God is broken. She tried to go to church to ask forgiveness everyday to remedy her feelings. What kind of spiritual distress is Grace experiencing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Grace experiences spiritual alienation (B), feeling disconnected from God and seeking to restore it through church visits. Spiritual pain (A, likely 'Pain') involves suffering, not specified. Guilt (C) is remorse, but her focus is broken connection, not sin. Despair (D) is giving up, unlike her active remedy. Alienation fits her perceived separation, per nursing spirituality, making B correct.
Question 5 of 5
Considered as the most accurate expression of person's thought and feelings
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nonverbal communication (B) most accurately expresses thoughts and feelings, per nursing theory (e.g., Mehrabian) body language, tone reveal more than words. Verbal (A) and oral (D) can mask, written (C) lacks immediacy. B's depth makes it correct.
