LPN Fundamentals Study Guide Questions
Question 1 of 5
When administering oxygen therapy, which intervention should the nurse prioritize to ensure the delivery of the prescribed oxygen concentration?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Monitoring oxygen saturation continuously (C) ensures the prescribed oxygen concentration is effective, allowing real-time adjustments to maintain target SpO2. Hourly RR (A) is indirect. Q4h flow checks (B) miss immediate issues. Snug mask (D) aids fit, not concentration. Continuous SpO2, per nursing protocols, guides safe delivery.
Question 2 of 5
A client with AIDS is admitted for treatment of wasting syndrome. Which of the following dietary modifications can be used to compensate for the limited absorptive capability of the intestinal tract?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Small, frequent meals compensate for limited intestinal absorption in AIDS-related wasting syndrome, delivering nutrients gradually to maximize uptake despite diarrhea or malabsorption, common in advanced HIV. Cooking foods, yogurt, or fluids help but don't address volume capacity directly. Nurses implement this strategy to combat weight loss, ensuring energy and protein needs are met, supporting immune function and strength.
Question 3 of 5
The physician has ordered Cortisporin ear drops for a 2-year-old. To administer the ear drops, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: For a 2-year-old, pulling the ear down and back straightens the canal for Cortisporin drops, ensuring medication reaches the infection site standard for children under 3. Up-and-back suits adults; straight out or undisturbed risks poor delivery. Nurses use this technique, teaching parents for home use, optimizing treatment efficacy.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with pneumonia. Which of the following nursing interventions will help prevent complications?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Coughing and deep breathing prevent pneumonia complications like atelectasis or secretion buildup, promoting lung expansion flat beds, fluid limits, or prone positioning worsen oxygenation. Nurses assist this, enhancing clearance, reducing infection spread or respiratory distress in recovery.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with a history of falls. Which intervention will best prevent injury to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Keeping the bed low with the call bell in reach prevents falls by aiding safe mobility signs alert staff but don't act, bright light disorients, and restricting movement risks weakness. Nurses implement this, enhancing safety, crucial for fall-prone clients.
