LPN Fundamentals Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the ratio of chest compressions to ventilations when two rescuers perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a child?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In pediatric CPR with two rescuers, efficiency improves. 30:1 (choice A) and 30:2 (choice B) are adult ratios. 15:1 (choice C) isn't standard. 15:2 (choice D) is correct for children (1 month to puberty), per AHA, balancing circulation and oxygenation with less interruption. Nurses coordinate compressions (100-120/min) and breaths, ensuring effective resuscitation.
Question 2 of 5
Which among these drugs is NOT an anxiolytic?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Luvox (D), fluvoxamine, is an SSRI for OCD and depression, not an anxiolytic. Valium (A, diazepam), Ativan (B, lorazepam), and Milltown (C, meprobamate) are benzodiazepines or anxiolytics for anxiety relief. Luvox targets serotonin, not GABA like anxiolytics, per pharmacology, making D the correct non-anxiolytic.
Question 3 of 5
Whitney, a patient of nurse Budek, verbalizes... 'I have nothing, nothing... nothing! Don't make me close one more door, I don't wanna hurt anymore!' Which of the following is the most appropriate response by Budek?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: What makes you say that?' (B) is most appropriate, exploring Whitney's despair therapeutically, per Peplau. 'Why are you singing?' (A) dismisses, 'You are everything' (C) denies, and 'What is that?' (D) avoids depth. B invites dialogue, making it correct.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following concept is most important in establishing a therapeutic nurse patient relationship?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Understanding patients test trust (D) is most important; it's foundational for rapport, per Peplau. Full understanding (A) evolves later, role modeling (B) is secondary, maladaptive behavior (C) follows trust. D initiates the relationship, making it correct.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following need is given a higher priority among others?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Suicide attempt (A) is highest priority; safety trumps all, per Maslow's hierarchy (physiological/security). Body image (B), depression (C), and dehydration (D) follow. A's imminent risk makes it correct.
