HESI LPN Fundamentals Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
When restraining a client in bed with a sleeveless jacket (vest) with straps, you will do which of the following things?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Using a quick-release knot to secure a vest restraint ensures safety by allowing rapid removal in emergencies, like respiratory distress. Tying to side rails or movable frames risks injury if the bed adjusts, and square knots are hard to undo quickly. Quick-release knots comply with safety standards, balancing restraint necessity with the ability to free the client swiftly, a critical consideration in nursing to prevent harm while managing behavior.
Question 2 of 5
The skin produces and absorbs which of the following vitamins in conjunction with the ultraviolet rays of the Sun, which activate this particular vitamin's precursor present in the skin?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Skin produces and absorbs vitamin D via UV rays activating its precursor, unlike C, E, or K. Nurses teach this for bone health awareness.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following people have the largest percentage of water in their bodies?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lean men have the highest water percentage, around 60-65%, due to less fat, unlike fat men, women, or fat women. Nurses apply this in fluid assessments.
Question 4 of 5
Which assessment finding indicates a potential cardiovascular complication of immobility?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dependent edema swelling in lower body parts points to a cardiovascular complication of immobility, arising from poor venous return and fluid buildup due to stasis. Heart rate or cardiac output increases aren't specific to this, and normal blood pressure doesn't flag issues. Nurses check for this to detect circulatory problems early, applying measures like elevation or compression to reduce risks like thrombosis, vital in managing immobility's cardiovascular effects.
Question 5 of 5
A client with anemia presents with fatigue and decreased exercise tolerance. What is the primary indication for initiating oxygen therapy in this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Increasing oxygen-carrying capacity (A) is the primary indication for oxygen therapy in anemia, compensating for reduced hemoglobin by boosting dissolved oxygen in plasma. Reducing iron deficiency (B) or enhancing erythropoiesis (D) requires other treatments. Tissue healing (C) is a byproduct. This approach mitigates hypoxia symptoms, per hematology care, vital until anemia is corrected.
