ATI Fundamentals LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse questions a doctors order of Morphine sulfate 50 mg, IM for a client with pancreatitis. Which role best fit that statement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Questioning a morphine order for pancreatitis exemplifies the client advocate role, where nurses safeguard patient well-being. Morphine can worsen pancreatitis by causing sphincter of Oddi spasm, unlike safer options like meperidine. By challenging this, the nurse protects the client from harm, a duty rooted in ethical codes like the ANA's. Change agents modify behaviors, case managers coordinate, and collaborators work jointly, but advocacy uniquely prioritizes patient safety over compliance. In practice, this might involve consulting the doctor for an alternative, ensuring care aligns with the patient's best interest, a critical nursing responsibility.
Question 2 of 5
Founder of the PNA
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas founded the Philippine Nurses Association in 1922 e.g., advocating licensure elevating Filipino nursing. Sotejo (educator), Octaviano, and Dionisio differ. Her leadership shaped national standards, a key milestone in local nursing's professional history.
Question 3 of 5
Marianne is now at the Defervescence stage of the fever, which of the following is expected?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Defervescence (decline) involves vasodilation and sweating e.g., cooling as heat dissipates. Delirium (high fever), goose flesh (chills), or cyanosis (hypoxia) don't fit. Nurses anticipate this e.g., damp sheets in Marianne, adjusting care, per fever stages.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is more life threatening?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: BP 80/50 is most life-threatening e.g., hypoperfusion risks failure vs. 180/100 (hypertension), 160/120 (severe), 90/60 (borderline). Nurses prioritize this e.g., fluids for stability, per hemodynamics.
Question 5 of 5
A community health nurse is assessing client's urine using the Acetic Acid solution. Which of the following, if done by a nurse, indicates lack of correct knowledge with the procedure?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acetic acid tests protein cloudiness not glucose; heating only acid (no urine) is wrong. Urine (2/3), heating with urine, cloudiness (protein) are correct. Nurses need correction e.g., purpose for accuracy, per procedure.
