LPN Fundamentals Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which nursing intervention promotes safe transfer techniques for a patient with limited mobility?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using a transfer belt enhances safety during transfers for patients with limited mobility, offering stability and support while allowing caregivers to maintain proper mechanics, reducing injury risk. Independent transfers without aid heighten fall chances, sliding boards aren't universal, and rapid lifting is unsafe. Nurses employ this tool to ensure controlled, secure movement, balancing patient safety with caregiver ergonomics, a key technique in mobility-limited care settings.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client receiving oxygen therapy via a Venturi mask. Which assessment finding indicates the need for adjustment of the oxygen flow rate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nasal dryness and discomfort (C) indicate inadequate humidification with a Venturi mask, necessitating flow or humidity adjustment. SpO2 98% (A) and RR 16 (B) are normal. 4 L/min (D) may be correct but doesn't address symptoms. Adjustment, per respiratory care, improves tolerance and efficacy.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following snacks would be suitable for the child with gluten-induced enteropathy?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Buttered popcorn is suitable for gluten-induced enteropathy (celiac disease), as corn is naturally gluten-free, unlike oatmeal, wheat bread, or pizza crust, which contain gluten and damage the intestine. Nurses guide dietary choices to avoid gluten, preventing malabsorption and symptoms like diarrhea, ensuring nutritional health for affected children.
Question 4 of 5
A 3-year-old is immobilized in a hip spica cast. Which discharge instruction should be given to the parents?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Avoiding dolls or small toys prevents them from lodging in the spica cast, reducing skin irritation or infection risks for a 3-year-old a practical discharge tip. Flat beds, coloring books, or calorie boosts are less critical or unrelated to cast care. Nurses stress this to maintain cast integrity, ensuring safe immobilization for hip healing.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing a client with a history of atrial fibrillation for discharge. Which statement by the client indicates that he understood the nurse's teaching regarding warfarin (Coumadin)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Reporting bruising indicates understanding of warfarin's anticoagulant effect, as excessive bleeding is a key risk in atrial fibrillation management, requiring physician oversight reflecting proper teaching. Spinach (high vitamin K) counters warfarin, blood tests (INR) are routine, and dosing is daily, not weekly. Nurses reinforce this vigilance, ensuring clients monitor for bleeding to balance clot prevention with safety.
