LPN Nursing Fundamentals Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis. Which is the priority concern of the nurse when caring for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh-eating infection, prioritizes skin integrity (B) due to rapid tissue destruction. Fluid (A), mobility (C), and urination (D) are secondary. B is correct. Rationale: Skin breakdown drives sepsis risk, requiring urgent debridement and antibiotics, per infectious disease care, over other systemic concerns.
Question 2 of 5
When the nurse problem solves and has implemented a solution from several solutions identified, the nurse most needs to do which of the following things?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: After implementing a solution, evaluating its effectiveness is the most critical step in the nursing process. This ensures the chosen intervention meets the client's needs, allowing adjustments if goals aren't achieved. Discarding unused solutions ignores potential future relevance, while implementing a second solution without evaluation risks inefficiency or harm. Declaring problem-solving complete without assessing outcomes neglects accountability and client safety. Evaluation involves observing results like reduced pain after medication and comparing them to expected outcomes, refining care as needed. This reflective practice upholds evidence-based care, ensuring interventions are successful and responsive to the client's evolving condition.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following interventions on the part of the nurse would most help a confused ambulatory client find their room?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For a confused ambulatory client, placing a picture on the door best aids room recognition, leveraging visual memory over abstract numbers or verbal cues. Large numbers help but may not register with confusion, hourly reorientation is temporary, and pinning numbers risks loss. A familiar image like a family photo serves as a consistent, intuitive marker, enhancing independence and reducing disorientation in nursing care.
Question 4 of 5
Where is ribosomal RNA used in protein synthesis produced?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ribosomal RNA is produced in centrioles, though typically nucleolus (a document error), for protein synthesis. Mitochondria, Golgi, and organelles have other roles. Nurses apply this in understanding cellular repair, like in wound healing.
Question 5 of 5
It is most likely that an acutely ill client will need the room temperature set at which of the following temperatures?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An acutely ill client likely needs 78°F to prevent chills and support recovery, higher than cooler options. Nurses adjust this for comfort and healing.
