LPN Fundamentals Study Guide Questions
Question 1 of 5
The physician's order reads 'Administer 1 g cefazolin sodium (Ancef) in 150 ml of normal saline solution in 60 minutes.' What is the flow rate if the drop factor is 10 gtt = 1 ml?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Flow rate = (150 ml × 10 gtt/ml) ÷ 60 min = 25 gtt/min.
Question 2 of 5
He described the development of faith. He suggested that faith is a spiritual dimension that gives meaning to a persons life. Faith according to him, is a relational phenomenon.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: James Fowler's faith development theory, from the 1980s, views faith as a spiritual, relational force giving life meaning e.g., a patient's trust in a nurse reflects this. Gilligan's care ethics, Westerhoff's behavioral faith, and Freud's psychology differ. Fowler's stages from intuitive to universalizing guide nurses in addressing spiritual needs, enhancing holistic care.
Question 3 of 5
Which is unlikely of Florence Nightingale?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nightingale was born 1820, not 1840 living to 90, she founded St. Thomas' School in 1860 (age 40), wrote ‘Notes on Nursing' (1859), and ‘Notes on Hospitals.' The 1840 birth is incorrect; her early life shaped her Crimean work (1850s), cementing her as nursing's founder.
Question 4 of 5
John's temperature 10 hours ago is a normal 36.5 degrees. 4 hours ago, He has a fever with a temperature of 38.9 Degrees. Right now, his temperature is back to normal. Which of the following best describe the fever john is having?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Intermittent fever spikes (38.9°C) and returns to normal (36.5°C) within 24 hours e.g., daily malaria pattern. Relapsing (days apart), remittent (fluctuating high), and constant (stable) differ. Nurses recognize this e.g., 10-hour normalcy for antipyretic timing, aligning with fever periodicity.
Question 5 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 organ failure versus 180/100 (hypertension), 160/120 (severe), or 90/60 (borderline). Low pressure (shock) demands urgent intervention nurses prioritize this e.g., fluids per hemodynamic stability principles.
