LPN Fundamentals Exam 1 Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 9
Mr. Gary had a video consultation with his doctor. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Video consultation is telemedicine (A) remote tech care, per definition. Informatics (B) is data, managed care (C) cost, promotion (D) well-being not remote-specific. A fits telehealth's mode, making it correct.
Question 2 of 9
Which intervention is important for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) in an immobile patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Encouraging ambulation and leg exercises prevents venous thromboembolism in immobile patients by boosting blood flow and reducing stasis, key to clot prevention. Sedatives increase immobility, cold compresses don't address circulation, and fluid limits harm hydration. Nurses implement this to counter VTE risk, using movement to enhance venous return, a critical strategy in immobile patient care.
Question 3 of 9
The physician has ordered Dilantin (phenytoin) for a client with generalized seizures. When planning the client's care, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Phenytoin (Dilantin) causes gingival hyperplasia, necessitating oral hygiene and gum care every shift to prevent overgrowth and infection a key nursing focus in seizure management. Intake/output, pulse checks, or meal timing aren't priorities. Nurses plan this to maintain oral health, enhancing client comfort and medication adherence.
Question 4 of 9
The nurse has been teaching the role of diet in regulating blood pressure to a client with hypertension. Which meal selection indicates that the client understands his new diet?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Oatmeal, apple juice, and dry toast with coffee show low-sodium, heart-healthy choices for hypertension cornflakes with milk, bacon, and ham are sodium-rich. Nurses reinforce this, reducing cardiovascular strain, supporting BP control through diet.
Question 5 of 9
Which of the following statement is NOT true about malpractice?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Malpractice involves duty (A), requires harm (B), is negligence (D) 'always intentional' (C) isn't true, often unintentional, per law. C's intent contradicts malpractice's scope, like Mr. Gary's care errors, making it untrue.
Question 6 of 9
A nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a non-rebreather mask. What is an important nursing intervention for this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ensuring the reservoir bag stays inflated (A) is critical for a non-rebreather, maintaining a high oxygen reserve (up to 95%) for inhalation. Client-preferred flow (B) lacks medical basis. Q2h SpO2 (C) may be too infrequent. Meal removal (D) disrupts therapy. Bag inflation, per respiratory care, ensures efficacy.
Question 7 of 9
Ethics committee in the hospital serves to?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ethics committees address dilemmas (B), per their role resolving conflicts (e.g., treatment disputes). Rules (A) and laws (D) are administrative/legislative, punishment (C) disciplinary not ethics-focused. B aligns with committee purpose, making it correct.
Question 8 of 9
Mr. Gary had a video consultation with his doctor. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Video consultation is telemedicine (A) remote tech care, per definition. Informatics (B) is data, managed care (C) cost, promotion (D) well-being not remote-specific. A fits telehealth's mode, making it correct.
Question 9 of 9
Which of the following is NOT a step in problem solving?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Problem-solving steps include collecting data (gathering facts), identifying the problem (defining it), and determining a plan (acting) e.g., addressing a patient's fever by checking vitals, diagnosing infection, and medicating. Stating a null hypothesis (e.g., 'no effect') is a research step, testing assumptions scientifically, not a general problem-solving action in nursing practice. Nurses solve issues practically e.g., adjusting IV flow without formal hypotheses, which suit studies (e.g., drug trials). The other steps align with clinical decision-making, making null hypothesis the outlier, irrelevant to routine problem-solving's immediate, action-oriented focus.
