LPN Nursing Fundamentals Questions
Question 1 of 5
When should the client test his blood sugar levels for greater accuracy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Before meals e.g., fasting glucose offers accurate baseline sugar levels, unlike during (eating), between (variable), or post-meal (spike). Nurses advise this e.g., AM checks for diabetes monitoring, per endocrinology standards.
Question 2 of 5
Florence nightingale is born in
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Florence Nightingale was born May 12, 1820, in Florence, Italy, to British parents named for her birthplace. She trained in Germany and worked in Britain, not France. Her Italian origin ties to her environmental theory's roots, shaping nursing's global history and Crimean legacy.
Question 3 of 5
John has a fever of 39.5 degrees 2 days ago, But yesterday, he has a normal temperature of 36.5 degrees. Today, his temperature surges to 40 degrees. What type of fever is John having?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Relapsing fever spikes (39.5-40°C) with normal breaks (36.5°C) e.g., borrelia, days apart. Intermittent (daily normal), remittent (fluctuating high), and constant (stable) differ. Nurses note this e.g., two-day gap for infection management, per fever types.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is responsible for the rhythm and quality of breathing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The medulla's respiratory center sets rhythm and depth e.g., 12-20 breaths/min via dorsal/ventral groups. Pons refines, carotid/aortic adjust via chemo input. Nurses assess this e.g., COPD for function, per neurophysiology.
Question 5 of 5
In a 24 hour urine specimen started Friday, 9:00 A.M, which of the following if done by a Nurse indicate a NEED for further procedural debriefing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Including 9:00 AM Friday urine pre-start skews 24-hour totals (9 AM Fri-Sat); it's discarded. Discarding start, including end, preserving are correct. Nurses need debrief e.g., timing for accuracy, per standards.
