LPN Fundamentals Study Guide Questions
Question 1 of 5
He described the development of faith. He suggested that faith is a spiritual dimension that gives meaning to a persons life. Faith according to him, is a relational phenomenon.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: James Fowler's faith development theory, from the 1980s, views faith as a spiritual, relational force giving life meaning e.g., a patient's trust in a nurse reflects this. Gilligan's care ethics, Westerhoff's behavioral faith, and Freud's psychology differ. Fowler's stages from intuitive to universalizing guide nurses in addressing spiritual needs, enhancing holistic care.
Question 2 of 5
John's temperature 10 hours ago is a normal 36.5 degrees. 4 hours ago, He has a fever with a temperature of 38.9 Degrees. Right now, his temperature is back to normal. Which of the following best describe the fever john is having?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Intermittent fever spikes (38.9°C) and returns to normal (36.5°C) within 24 hours e.g., daily malaria pattern. Relapsing (days apart), remittent (fluctuating high), and constant (stable) differ. Nurses recognize this e.g., 10-hour normalcy for antipyretic timing, aligning with fever periodicity.
Question 3 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 organ failure versus 180/100 (hypertension), 160/120 (severe), or 90/60 (borderline). Low pressure (shock) demands urgent intervention nurses prioritize this e.g., fluids per hemodynamic stability principles.
Question 4 of 5
As a nurse manager, which of the following best describes this function?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A nurse manager's role is multifaceted, encompassing planning, organizing, directing, and controlling, as outlined in management theories like Venzon's. This includes formulating a vision (e.g., quality care goals), providing in-service training (e.g., skill updates), and using audits (e.g., outcome reviews) to ensure standards. While initiating lifestyle changes aligns with a change agent, protecting rights with an advocate, and coordinating with a case manager, the manager's broader scope integrates these into institutional leadership. For instance, a manager might train staff on new protocols while auditing compliance, ensuring cohesive care delivery. This comprehensive function distinguishes it from narrower roles, making it pivotal in healthcare settings where strategic oversight drives patient outcomes and staff development.
Question 5 of 5
Anastacia Giron-Tupas was the first Filipino nurse to occupy the position of chief nurse in this hospital.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas became PGH's first Filipino chief nurse, a landmark in local leadership post-American rule. Unlike St. Paul, Iloilo, or St. Luke's, PGH's prominence amplified her impact e.g., elevating Filipino roles. Her tenure advanced professional recognition, influencing nursing's national identity and autonomy in the early 20th century.
