LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 9
What are the primary purposes for conducting research in nursing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nursing research aims to enhance the profession's impact on patient care through targeted purposes. Providing a basis for best practice guidelines is central, as research synthesizes evidence like clinical reviews into actionable standards, ensuring care is effective and current. Developing new ways to improve assessment and diagnostic skills sharpens nurses' ability to identify and address client needs, driving innovative tools or techniques. It also supports evaluating care, offering resources to measure intervention success, and informs planning by setting evidence-based goals. Decreasing illnesses aligns more with medical research, while improving NCLEX pass rates pertains to education, not research's core. These purposes collectively advance nursing knowledge, refine practice, and elevate client outcomes, grounding the profession in science rather than tradition or assumption.
Question 2 of 9
The nurse followed state laws on what she can do for Mr. Gary. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Following state laws on duties is scope of practice (A) legal limits, per definition. Licensure (B) permits, malpractice (C) breach, literacy (D) understanding not duty-specific. A fits the nurse's adherence for Mr. Gary's care, making it correct.
Question 3 of 9
The nurse is assisting in planning care for a client scheduled for insertion of a tracheostomy. Which equipment should the nurse plan to have at the bedside when the client returns from surgery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-tracheostomy, the obturator (A) is essential at the bedside to reinsert the tube if dislodged, ensuring airway patency. An oral airway (B) is irrelevant for tracheostomy patients. Epinephrine (C) treats allergic reactions, not routine needs. A larger tracheostomy tube (D) isn't standard emergency equipment. A is correct. Rationale: The obturator facilitates immediate tube replacement, critical in the first 72 hours before a tract forms, preventing airway loss, a priority per surgical nursing standards over other less relevant items.
Question 4 of 9
Anticipatory grieving is beneficial to a client or family because it can:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Anticipatory grieving mourning before a loss (e.g., terminal diagnosis) helps clients or families process emotions gradually, fostering a healthier emotional state. It allows acceptance over time, reducing shock post-loss (e.g., preparing for a loved one's death). Privacy is possible but not the benefit grieving's value lies in emotional work, not seclusion. Drawing family closer may occur, but it's secondary; individual coping is primary. Discussing with others aids support, not the core benefit. By facilitating emotional adjustment e.g., a patient accepting mortality anticipatory grieving eases transition, a key nursing focus in end-of-life care, making this the primary advantage.
Question 5 of 9
Which of the following is responsible for deep and prolonged inspiration
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The pons' apneustic center drives deep, prolonged inspiration e.g., in gasping unless overridden by pneumotaxic control. Medulla sets rhythm, carotid/aortic bodies monitor gases. Nurses note this e.g., in brain injury for altered breathing patterns, per respiratory neurology.
Question 6 of 9
The physician has ordered amoxicillin (Amoxil) for a client with a sinus infection. Before administering the medication, the nurse should ask the client if he is allergic to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Penicillin allergy must be assessed before amoxicillin, a penicillin derivative, to prevent anaphylaxis in a sinus infection client codeine, aspirin, and sulfa aren't related. Nurses confirm allergies, ensuring safe antibiotic administration, critical for infection resolution without adverse reactions.
Question 7 of 9
A healthcare professional is preparing to administer medications to a client who has an NG tube for continuous feedings. Which of the following actions should the healthcare professional take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Administering medications through a syringe is the correct action to take when a client has an NG tube for continuous feedings to ensure that each medication is delivered correctly and is not mixed with the enteral feeding. This method helps prevent drug interactions and ensures proper administration of each medication.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Staying positive despite illness is resilience (A) recovery strength, per definition. Coping (B) manages, self-esteem (C) worth, illness behavior (D) reaction not positivity-specific. A fits adversity adaptation, making it correct.
Question 9 of 9
