Question 1 of 5
Which cultural custom would be important to understand when being introduced to a Hmong patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hmong culture values respect in interactions. Eye lowering signals deference to authority, like healthcare providers, per cultural studies key for building trust. Touching the head is taboo, not honoring, as it's a sacred area. Verbal greetings vary, with handshakes often accepted. Agreeing out of courtesy happens but isn't unique to introductions. Understanding eye lowering avoids misinterpreting it as disengagement, aligning with culturally competent care per QSEN, making it the correct and most relevant custom.
Question 2 of 5
Evidence-based nursing is based on:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Evidence-based nursing integrates research, expertise, and patient values, but patient values and preferences ensure care aligns with individual needs, per EBP models like Iowa. Expertise and research are foundational, while critical thinking supports application. Patient-centeredness respecting beliefs (e.g., refusing blood) is a defining EBP pillar, making this the correct and most holistic basis for nursing decisions.
Question 3 of 5
When setting priorities of patient needs according to Maslow's hierarchy, you should:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy prioritizes survival. Airway status breathing is the top physiologic need, per nursing triage (ABC: airway, breathing, circulation). Physiologic needs alone are too broad. Safety follows survival. Self-esteem ranks below security. Airway obstruction kills fastest, so LPNs address it first (e.g., suctioning), aligning with emergency care standards, making this the correct priority.
Question 4 of 5
Surgical risk factors include:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Surgical risks stem from conditions impairing healing or anesthesia tolerance. Obesity increases complications (e.g., infection, breathing issues), per perioperative guidelines. Malnutrition delays recovery but is less immediate. Age 51 isn't inherently risky elderly status (65+) is. Diabetes is significant but manageable. Obesity's broad impact (e.g., wound dehiscence) makes it a top concern LPNs monitor, making it the correct risk factor.
Question 5 of 5
While transferring to the surgical suite, the patient asks, 'Am I going to make it?' An appropriate response would be:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A therapeutic response addresses emotion.'You seem anxious. Tell me more' validates fear, encouraging expression per communication standards. Reassurance dismisses concern. Questioning surgeon discussion deflects. Surgeon experience sidesteps feelings. Exploring anxiety aids coping and assessment, an LPN skill, making it the correct and most supportive response.
