LPN Fundamentals Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
This specimen is required to assess glucose levels and for the presence of albumin the the urine
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 24-hour urine collection e.g., total daily output assesses glucose and albumin accurately, unlike midstream (spot), postprandial (post-meal), or second void (random). Nurses use this e.g., in diabetes for cumulative protein/sugar levels, per diagnostic protocols.
Question 2 of 5
This is the essence of mental health
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy (1940s) crowns self-actualization realizing potential as mental health's essence e.g., a nurse finding purpose in care. Self-awareness (base), esteem (confidence), and worth (value) build to it. Nursing promotes this peak e.g., meaningful recovery aligning with psychological well-being goals.
Question 3 of 5
John has a fever of 38.5 Deg. Celsius. It surges at around 40 Degrees and go back to 38.5 degrees 6 times today in a typical pattern. What kind of fever is John having?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Remittent fever fluctuates above normal (38.5-40°C) e.g., typhoid without dropping to baseline. Relapsing (normal intervals), intermittent (to normal), and constant (stable) differ. Nurses track this e.g., six swings for diagnosis, per fever patterns.
Question 4 of 5
Contains the pneumotaxic and the apneutic centers
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The pons houses pneumotaxic (rate) and apneustic (prolonged inspiration) centers e.g., regulating rhythm. Medulla sets pattern, carotid/aortic sense chemo changes. Nurses note this e.g., apnea for neurological assessment, per brain anatomy.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is among an ideal way of collecting a urine specimen for culture and sensitivity?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Discarding initial urine midstream e.g., clears contaminants for C&S, unlike clean container (basic), volume (standard), preservation (post). Nurses ensure e.g., instruction for sterility, per microbiology.
