HESI LPN Fundamentals Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
This is the best patient care model when there are many nurses but few patients.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Total patient care thrives with many nurses and few patients, allowing one nurse to fully manage each client's needs e.g., dressing changes, meds, and education. This contrasts with functional nursing (task-based), team nursing (group effort), or primary nursing (continuity-focused), offering intensive, individualized attention when staffing is ample, optimizing resource use and patient outcomes.
Question 2 of 5
Who is the first Filipino chief nurse of PGH?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas was PGH's first Filipino chief nurse, a trailblazer e.g., elevating local leadership post-American rule. Delgado (PNA president), Sotejo (educator), and Tupas (unrelated) differ. Her tenure marked a shift toward Filipino autonomy in healthcare, influencing nursing's national identity.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a contraindication in taking ORAL temperature?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Quadriplegia isn't an oral temp contraindication e.g., a paralyzed patient can still hold a thermometer if alert. NGT (obstruction), dyspnea (breathing interference), and nausea (gagging risk) preclude it. Nurses use alternatives (axillary) here, per safety protocols, ensuring accurate readings.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is INCORRECT in assessing client's BP?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Leg BP (popliteal) is 20-40 mmHg higher e.g., 160/80 is low, not normal versus arm norms (120/80). Upper meniscus, slow deflation, and Korotkoff sounds are correct. Nurses adjust e.g., noting site for accurate interpretation, per BP technique.
Question 5 of 5
RN assumes 24 hour responsibility for the client to maintain continuity of care across shifts, days or visits.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Primary nursing assigns one RN 24-hour responsibility for a client's care plan, ensuring continuity e.g., a diabetic's regimen tracked across shifts via associates. Functional nursing focuses tasks, team nursing collaborates, and total care is shift-specific. This accountability, like overseeing wound care long-term, builds trust and consistency, vital for complex cases. Its structured oversight distinguishes it, widely applied in settings needing sustained nurse-patient bonds.
