Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
In a CLOSED system, which of the following is true?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A closed system, per systems theory, is isolated e.g., a candle dies under a glass from no oxygen input. Unlike open systems (Roy's humans), it doesn't allow matter, energy, or information exchange, making it a ‘sole island.' This contrasts with nursing's open-system patient care, highlighting environmental influence.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following completely describes PULSUS PARADOXICUS?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pulsus paradoxus is an exaggerated systolic drop (>10 mmHg) on inspiration e.g., in pericardial effusion due to heart compression. Other options misalign: increase (opposite), or positional pulse (unrelated). Nurses detect this e.g., via sphygmomanometer for cardiac emergencies, per pathophysiology.
Question 3 of 5
If the client is female, and the doctor is a male and the patient is about to undergo a vaginal and cervical examination, why is it necessary to have a female nurse in attendance?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
Proposed the GRAND THEORY OF NURSING AS CARING
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Anne Boykin and Savina Schoenhofer's Grand Theory of Nursing as Caring (1990s) views all humans as caring, with nursing responding to this essence e.g., aiding a stranger instinctively. Erickson's modeling, Peterson's humanism, and Benner's skill focus differ. As a grand theory, it shapes ethical practice, emphasizing universal caring as nursing's moral core, influencing holistic care perspectives.
Question 5 of 5
She theorized that man is composed of sub and supra systems. Subsystems are cells, tissues, organs and systems while the suprasystems are family, society and community.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Martha Rogers (1970s) theorized humans as unitary with subsystems (cells, organs) and suprasystems (family, society) e.g., recovery ties to both. Unlike Roy's adaptation, Henderson's needs, or Johnson's behavior, her interconnectedness guides nurses in holistic assessments e.g., social support per unitary theory.
