LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Course Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse finds that an assigned client is restless, agitated, and confused and is thinking of restraining the client. Which of the following questions is most important for the nurse to ask?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Before restraining a restless, agitated, confused client, identifying the underlying cause is most important. This question drives assessment like checking for hypoxia or pain addressing the root issue rather than masking it with restraints. Restraint type or orders follow, and medication might treat symptoms but not the cause. Understanding why, such as delirium from infection, guides safer, less restrictive interventions, aligning with nursing's least-restraint principle and client dignity.
Question 2 of 5
You are preparing to bathe and wash the hair of an African American woman. Which of the following questions would be most important to ask the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Asking about oil use respects cultural hair care practices for African American women, often needed for moisture. Unbraiding, double shampooing, or brushing are secondary. Nurses tailor care to client preferences.
Question 3 of 5
A client asks which of the vitamins can be stored in the body. Which of the following answers by the nurse would be correct?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Vitamin D is fat-soluble and stored, unlike water-soluble C, B1, or biotin. Nurses educate on this for supplementation risks.
Question 4 of 5
Which nursing action promotes safe mobilization and transfers for a patient with a lower extremity injury?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Providing a firm, stable surface for transfers ensures safety for a patient with a lower extremity injury, minimizing fall risk and supporting controlled movement. Avoiding weight-bearing might apply early but not universally, rapid moves are dangerous, and skipping devices can compromise safety. Nurses prioritize this to stabilize transfers, accommodating the injury while fostering secure mobility, critical for recovery and protection.
Question 5 of 5
A client with pneumonia requires oxygen therapy. Which oxygen delivery system would be most appropriate for this client to improve oxygenation and reduce the work of breathing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: High-flow nasal cannula (C) is ideal for pneumonia, providing humidified oxygen up to 60 L/min, improving oxygenation and reducing breathing effort. Simple mask (A) offers less precision (40-60%). Partial rebreather (B) impedes secretion clearance. Transtracheal (D) is invasive, not typical. High-flow supports acute needs, per respiratory care, enhancing comfort and efficacy.
