Quizlet LPN Fundamentals Questions
Question 1 of 5
What can you expect from Marianne, who is currently at the ONSET stage of fever?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Fever's onset (chill phase) features vasoconstriction e.g., pale, cold skin as the setpoint rises. Hot/flushed (flush phase), thirst (later), or convulsions (hyperpyrexia) follow. Nurses expect this e.g., shivering in Marianne, guiding warming measures, per physiology.
Question 2 of 5
A community health nurse should be resourceful and meet the needs of the client. A villager ask him, Can you test my urine for glucose? Which of the following technique allows the nurse to test a client's urine for glucose without the need for intricate instruments.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Benedict's test boiling urine with solution, color change e.g., detects glucose simply, unlike acetic (protein), nitrazine (pH), litmus (acid/base). Nurses use e.g., rural for resourcefulness, per diagnostics.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is auscultating the client's bowel sounds, which of the following technique is correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Auscultating bowel sounds uses the diaphragm lightly e.g., hears gurgles unlike firm (blocks), 5 minutes (standard), warming (optional). Nurses listen e.g., quadrants for accuracy, per technique.
Question 4 of 5
Who developed the theory that nurses assist clients with self-care to improve or to maintain health?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dorothea Orem's self-care theory posits that nurses assist clients in performing self-care activities to maintain or improve health, emphasizing individual responsibility and nursing support when deficits arise. Developed in the mid-20th century, this theory frames nursing as a facilitative process, helping clients meet universal needs like air, water, and food, or recover from illness through tailored interventions. Florence Nightingale focused on environmental modifications to aid healing, not self-care. Virginia Henderson's Need Theory defines nursing as assisting with basic needs until independence is regained, differing from Orem's self-care focus. Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model centers on adjusting to stimuli, not self-care per se. Orem's framework remains influential, guiding nurses to empower clients in managing their health, particularly in chronic or rehabilitative contexts, by fostering independence and collaboration.
Question 5 of 5
A group of objects with relationships is which?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A concept in nursing is a group of abstract ideas or objects linked by relationships, forming the building blocks of understanding like 'health' encompassing wellness and disease. Theory expands this, weaving concepts into a structured explanation, such as Orem's self-care model. Deductive reasoning starts with a general idea (e.g., all humans need oxygen) to infer specifics (this patient needs oxygen), while inductive reasoning observes specifics (patients improve with oxygen) to generalize. Concepts are foundational, enabling nurses to define and explore phenomena like pain's physical and emotional ties before theorizing. This abstraction aids in assessing client needs, planning care, and communicating effectively, grounding nursing in clear, relational ideas that evolve with practice and research, distinct from the logical processes of reasoning.
