Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 9
In the nursing process, the purpose of assessment is to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The assessment phase of the nursing process is designed to establish a comprehensive database about the patient, gathering subjective and objective data like symptoms, vital signs, and health history to inform subsequent steps. This foundational role ensures nurses understand the patient's condition fully before diagnosing or planning care. Implementing doctors' orders occurs in the implementation phase, not assessment, which precedes action. Complying with nursing requirements is a procedural concern, not the purpose of assessment, which focuses on patient needs, not regulatory checklists. Ensuring nursing instructions are followed relates to evaluation or implementation, not data collection. By creating a detailed patient profile, assessment enables nurses to identify problems, set goals, and tailor interventions, making it the critical starting point for effective, individualized care in the nursing process.

Question 6 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
This type of healing occurs when there is a delayed surgical closure of infected wound
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Third intention healing (C) occurs with delayed surgical closure of an infected wound, allowing time for infection control before suturing. First intention (A) involves primary closure of clean wounds with minimal scarring. Second intention (B) is healing by granulation in open wounds, without surgical closure. Fourth intention (D) isn't a recognized term in wound healing. In third intention, the wound is initially left open to drain and treat infection, then closed later, balancing infection management and tissue approximation. This matches the scenario of delayed closure, making C the correct answer based on wound healing classifications.
