LPN Nursing Fundamentals Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
Icheanne, ask you, her Nurse, about WBC Components. She got an injury yesterday after she twisted her ankle accidentally at her gymnastic class. She asked you, which WBC Component is responsible for proliferation at the injured site immediately following an injury. You answer:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Immediately following an acute injury like a twisted ankle, neutrophils (A) are the first white blood cells (WBCs) to proliferate at the site. They respond within hours, driven by chemotaxis to phagocytose pathogens and debris in the early inflammatory phase. Basophils (B) are involved in allergic responses, not acute trauma. Eosinophils (C) target parasites and allergies, not immediate injury. Monocytes (D) arrive later, becoming macrophages for chronic cleanup. Neutrophils' rapid mobilization and dominance in acute inflammation peaking within 24-48 hours make A the correct answer for this immediate post-injury scenario.
Question 2 of 5
Levito Devin, The Italian prime minister, is due to retire next week. He feels depressed due to the enormous loss of influence, power, fame and fortune. What type of crisis is Devin experiencing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Devin's retirement depression reflects a maturational crisis (B), tied to life-stage transitions (e.g., aging, role loss), per Erikson. Situational (A) fits external events (e.g., disaster). Social (C) or phenomenal (D) aren't standard types. Maturational crises involve developmental shifts, matching Devin's loss, making B correct.
Question 3 of 5
The physician orderd, Magnesium Hydroxide cc Aluminum Hydroxide. What does cc means?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: cc' means with (B), from Latin 'cum,' per medical shorthand. Without (A) is 's' or 'sine,' one half (C) 'ss,' with half dose (D) isn't standard. B fits combining medications, making it correct.
Question 4 of 5
A characteristic of the nursing process that is essential to promote client satisfaction and progress. The care should also be relevant with the client's needs.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Effective (D) promotes satisfaction and progress by achieving relevant outcomes, per nursing goals. Organized/systematic (A) plans, humanistic (B) individualizes, efficient (C) saves. D ties to client-centric results, making it correct.
Question 5 of 5
A client had oral surgery following a motor vehicle accident. The nurse assessing the client finds the skin flushed and warm. Which of the following would be the best method to take the client's body temperature?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Selecting the best method to measure body temperature depends on the client's condition and clinical context. This client recently underwent oral surgery, which likely involved trauma, incisions, or packing in the mouth, making the oral route (A) inappropriate due to potential discomfort, inaccuracy from inflammation, or risk of injury to surgical sites. The client's flushed and warm skin suggests a possible fever, requiring a reliable method. Axillary measurement (B) is non-invasive but less accurate (typically 0.5°C lower than core temperature) and may not reflect true systemic temperature in critical situations. An arterial line (C) is invasive, used for continuous monitoring in critical care, and not practical for routine temperature assessment. The rectal route (D) provides a core temperature reading (about 0.5°C higher than oral), is unaffected by oral surgery, and is reliable for detecting fever in this scenario. Despite being slightly more invasive, it ensures accuracy when oral access is compromised, making D the best choice for this post-surgical client with signs of fever.
