LPN Fundamentals Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
He proposed the theory of morality that is based on MUTUAL TRUST
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lawrence Kohlberg's moral development theory, from the 1950s, hinges on mutual trust e.g., a child learns fairness through reciprocal relationships. Freud's psychoanalysis, Erikson's psychosocial stages, and Peters' principle-based morality differ. Kohlberg's stages premoral (reward/punishment), conventional (social norms), post-conventional (personal ethics) explain moral growth, influencing nursing ethics education on trust-based patient interactions.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is TRUE about temperature?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Body temperature peaks late day (8 PM-midnight) due to circadian rhythms e.g., higher metabolism. Lowest is early morning (not noon), thyroxin raises temp (not lowers), and elderly risk hypothermia (not hyperthermia) from poor regulation. Nurses monitor this pattern for fever assessment, per physiological norms.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is responsible for the rhythm and quality of breathing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The medulla oblongata's respiratory center sets breathing rhythm and depth e.g., 12-20 breaths/min via dorsal and ventral groups. Pons refines, carotid/aortic bodies adjust via chemo input. Nurses assess this e.g., in COPD for foundational respiratory function, per neurophysiology.
Question 4 of 5
In a 24 hour urine specimen started Friday, 9:00 A.M, which of the following if done by a Nurse indicate a NEED for further procedural debriefing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Including 9:00 AM Friday urine e.g., pre-start skew 24-hour totals (9 AM Friday to 9 AM Saturday); it's discarded. Discarding start, including end, and preserving are correct. Nurses need debriefing here e.g., timing for accurate collection, per lab standards.
Question 5 of 5
Freud postulated that child adopts parental standards and traits through
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory (1900s) posits children adopt parental standards via identification e.g., mimicking a parent's empathy. Imitation (copying), introjection (internalizing), and regression (reverting) differ. This shapes the superego, influencing nursing behaviors e.g., empathy from role models affecting caregiver styles and patient interactions.
