Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 9
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 9
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 9
A nurse is assessing a client receiving oxygen therapy via a non-rebreather mask. What should the nurse do to ensure the mask is functioning effectively?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Inflating the reservoir bag prior to inhalation (C) ensures a non-rebreather mask functions effectively, providing a high oxygen reserve (up to 95%) for each breath. Deflation (A) limits oxygen. High flow (B) isn't specific to function. Removing valves (D) defeats the design. Proper bag inflation, per respiratory care, ensures maximal delivery.
Question 4 of 9
Developed the CLINICAL NURSING - A HELPING ART MODEL
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Ernestine Wiedenbach's Clinical Nursing A Helping Art Model, from the 1960s, frames nursing as an art aiding patients' needs e.g., teaching a diabetic self-injection. Swanson's caring, Hall's core-care-cure, and Zderad's humanistic focus differ. Wiedenbach's practical, patient-centered approach, with its ‘clinical' emphasis, guides nurses in purposeful interventions, impacting training and bedside care.
Question 5 of 9
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.

Question 7 of 9
A client with a traumatic brain injury is receiving mechanical ventilation. The nurse notes that the client's intracranial pressure (ICP) is $18 \mathrm{mmHg}$. Which ventilator setting should the nurse question?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 8 of 9

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 9 of 9

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
