LPN Fundamentals Practice Test Questions
Question 1 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 2 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 3 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.
Question 4 of 5
A walk-in client enters into the clinic with a chief complaint of abdominal pain and diarrhea. The nurse takes the client's vital signs hereafter. What phase of nursing process is being implemented here by the nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nursing process is a systematic approach to client care, beginning with assessment (A), which involves collecting data about the client's health status. Taking vital signs after a client reports abdominal pain and diarrhea is a clear example of assessment, as it gathers objective physiological data (e.g., temperature, pulse, blood pressure) to evaluate the client's condition. Diagnosis (B) follows assessment and involves analyzing data to identify health problems, which has not yet occurred here. Planning (C) entails setting goals and interventions based on the diagnosis, while implementation (D) is the execution of those interventions neither of which apply to simply taking vital signs. This initial data collection is foundational to understanding the client's condition, guiding subsequent steps, and ensuring accurate care, making A the correct phase in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statement is TRUE about pain in elderly clients?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Elderly clients' pain reports should be taken seriously (D), per geriatric care pain isn't less felt (A), narcotics aren't barred (B), and it's not normal aging (C). Sensitivity may drop, but pain remains significant; under-treatment risks exist. D ensures proper management, making it the true statement.
