LPN Fundamentals Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
He proposed the theory of morality based on PRINCIPLES
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: R.S. Peters' moral theory, from the 1960s, centers on principles like justice and honesty e.g., a nurse acts kindly out of habit. Freud's drives, Erikson's stages, and Kohlberg's trust differ. Peters' view of morality as emotion, judgment, and behavior, rooted in automatic virtues, guides nurses in ethical consistency, impacting professional conduct standards.
Question 2 of 5
Hyperpyrexia is a condition in which the temperature is greater than
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hyperpyrexia is a temperature above 40°C (104°F) e.g., in severe infections beyond normal fever (38-39°C). Lower thresholds (39°C, 100°F) or extreme (105.8°F) don't define it. Nurses recognize this critical level, triggering urgent cooling measures to prevent organ damage, per emergency protocols.
Question 3 of 5
The primary respiratory center
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The medulla oblongata is the primary respiratory center e.g., initiating each breath via its neurons. Pons modulates, carotid/aortic bodies sense O2/CO2. Damage here stops breathing nurses monitor this e.g., in stroke for life-sustaining function, per neurological control.
Question 4 of 5
This specimen is required to assess glucose levels and for the presence of albumin the the urine
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 24-hour urine collection e.g., total daily output assesses glucose and albumin accurately, unlike midstream (spot), postprandial (post-meal), or second void (random). Nurses use this e.g., in diabetes for cumulative protein/sugar levels, per diagnostic protocols.
Question 5 of 5
According to them, Morality is measured of how people treat human being and that a moral child strives to be kind and just
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Schulman and Mekler's moral theory (20th century) measures morality by intent and just acts e.g., Robin Hood's theft is immoral despite intent. Zderad's humanism, Benner's expertise, and Fowler's faith differ. Their focus on kindness and fairness guides nurses e.g., equitable care shaping ethical patient treatment and moral education.
