Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following completely describes PULSUS PARADOXICUS?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pulsus paradoxus is an exaggerated systolic drop (>10 mmHg) on inspiration e.g., in pericardial effusion due to heart compression. Other options misalign: increase (opposite), or positional pulse (unrelated). Nurses detect this e.g., via sphygmomanometer for cardiac emergencies, per pathophysiology.
Question 2 of 5
Proposed the GRAND THEORY OF NURSING AS CARING
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Anne Boykin and Savina Schoenhofer's Grand Theory of Nursing as Caring (1990s) views all humans as caring, with nursing responding to this essence e.g., aiding a stranger instinctively. Erickson's modeling, Peterson's humanism, and Benner's skill focus differ. As a grand theory, it shapes ethical practice, emphasizing universal caring as nursing's moral core, influencing holistic care perspectives.
Question 3 of 5
She theorized that man is composed of sub and supra systems. Subsystems are cells, tissues, organs and systems while the suprasystems are family, society and community.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Martha Rogers (1970s) theorized humans as unitary with subsystems (cells, organs) and suprasystems (family, society) e.g., recovery ties to both. Unlike Roy's adaptation, Henderson's needs, or Johnson's behavior, her interconnectedness guides nurses in holistic assessments e.g., social support per unitary theory.
