Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
The vocal cords have and function with which of the following kinds of tissue?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The phosphate level of a newborn is best described in which of the following ways when comparing the newborn's phosphate level with that of an adult?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Which patient is at the greatest risk for developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to immobility?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A patient post-surgery faces the greatest deep vein thrombosis risk due to immobility during recovery, slowing circulation and promoting clotting. Hypertension or diabetes contributes less directly, and regular exercise reduces risk. Nurses focus on this group with prophylaxis like anticoagulants or leg exercises, recognizing surgery's unique immobility burden as a critical factor in thrombus formation.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client receiving oxygen therapy via a non-rebreather mask. What should the nurse do to ensure the mask is functioning effectively?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Inflating the reservoir bag prior to inhalation (C) ensures a non-rebreather mask functions effectively, providing a high oxygen reserve (up to 95%) for each breath. Deflation (A) limits oxygen. High flow (B) isn't specific to function. Removing valves (D) defeats the design. Proper bag inflation, per respiratory care, ensures maximal delivery.
Question 5 of 5
The licensed vocational nurse may not assume the primary care for a client:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) have a scope of practice excluding primary care for clients with complex needs like venous access devices, which require advanced monitoring and intervention skills reserved for RNs. The fourth stage of labor, post-appendectomy recovery, and bipolar disorder management typically involve stable or predictable care LVNs can handle under supervision. Venous devices, however, pose risks like infection or occlusion, demanding higher-level assessment. Nurses respect these boundaries to ensure safe, competent care delivery aligned with licensure limits.
