LPN Nursing Fundamentals Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
When the nurse problem solves and has implemented a solution from several solutions identified, the nurse most needs to do which of the following things?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: After implementing a solution, evaluating its effectiveness is the most critical step in the nursing process. This ensures the chosen intervention meets the client's needs, allowing adjustments if goals aren't achieved. Discarding unused solutions ignores potential future relevance, while implementing a second solution without evaluation risks inefficiency or harm. Declaring problem-solving complete without assessing outcomes neglects accountability and client safety. Evaluation involves observing results like reduced pain after medication and comparing them to expected outcomes, refining care as needed. This reflective practice upholds evidence-based care, ensuring interventions are successful and responsive to the client's evolving condition.
Question 2 of 5
Where is ribosomal RNA used in protein synthesis produced?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ribosomal RNA is produced in centrioles, though typically nucleolus (a document error), for protein synthesis. Mitochondria, Golgi, and organelles have other roles. Nurses apply this in understanding cellular repair, like in wound healing.
Question 3 of 5
It is most likely that an acutely ill client will need the room temperature set at which of the following temperatures?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An acutely ill client likely needs 78°F to prevent chills and support recovery, higher than cooler options. Nurses adjust this for comfort and healing.
Question 4 of 5
You are feeding a newborn infant in the nursery, as the mother is having some procedure done at this time. Before the infant finishes taking the contents of the bottle of formula, the infant slowly stops sucking and falls asleep. Which of the following actions would be best on your part?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Allowing a newborn to sleep after stopping sucking respects natural cues, unlike waking, waiting, or reporting normal behavior. Nurses prioritize this for infant well-being.
Question 5 of 5
Which nursing intervention is important for preventing falls during patient transfers?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Providing clear instructions and explanations helps prevent falls during transfers by ensuring patients understand and cooperate with the process, enhancing safety. One caregiver or rapid transfers risks instability, and skipping devices undermines support. Nurses use this to empower patients, reducing confusion-related mishaps, a proactive step in maintaining stability and preventing injuries during vulnerable movements.
