LPN Fundamentals Questions Questions
Question 1 of 9
Which of the following is not a characteristic of a normal urine?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Normal urine pH is 4.5-8 e.g., averages 6 but varies not fixed at 6. Clear, aromatic, yellow-amber are true. Nurses assess e.g., pH for health, per norms.
Question 2 of 9
How many minute/s is/are allowed to pass before making a re-reading after the first one?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: One minute between BP readings e.g., reperfusion ensures accuracy, per AHA. Longer is for activity rest. Nurses time this e.g., repeat for trends, per monitoring.
Question 3 of 9
Which of the following statement is TRUE about care delivery models?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Care delivery models vary by setting (B), per practice e.g., team vs. primary nursing. Not one (A), affect outcomes (C), not all (D) context-based. B truly defines models' diversity, making it correct.
Question 4 of 9
Mr. Gary chose his doctor within a PPO network. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choosing within a PPO is a preferred provider organization (A) flexible options, per definition. HMO (B) limits, policy (C) rules, education (D) teaching not choice-specific. A fits Mr. Gary's network freedom, making it correct.
Question 5 of 9
Which theory emphasizes the relationships between the whole and the parts, and describes how parts function and behave?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: General systems theory, developed by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, explores how wholes and their parts interact, describing the function and behavior of components within a system. In nursing, it views the client as a system body, mind, and spirit interacting with environments like family or healthcare settings, emphasizing interdependence. Nursing theory broadly aims to explain and predict care outcomes, not specifically parts-whole dynamics. Adaptation theory, per Roy, focuses on adjusting to stimuli, while developmental theory tracks growth stages, neither prioritizing systemic relationships. General systems theory's holistic lens aids nurses in understanding how a client's physical decline affects emotional health or how family dynamics influence recovery. Its interdisciplinary roots make it versatile, guiding comprehensive care plans that address interconnected factors, enhancing nursing's ability to manage complex client needs effectively.
Question 6 of 9
Which of the following statement is NOT true about family-centered care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Family-centered care includes family (A), supports needs (B), improves outcomes (D) 'excludes patient' (C) isn't true, patient central, per model. C's exclusion contradicts focus, like with Mr. Gary's family, making it untrue.
Question 7 of 9
The nurse told everyone that Mr. Gary has AIDS which is not true. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Falsely saying Mr. Gary has AIDS is defamation (B) reputation-harming lie, per law. Privacy (A) needs truth, assault (C) threat, battery (D) touch. B fits slanderous falsehood, making it correct.
Question 8 of 9
Which of the following statement best describe prevalence?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Prevalence is total cases at a point in time (B), per epidemiology e.g., all diabetes now. Not new (A), not outcome (C), not risk (D) snapshot. B best defines prevalence's scope, making it correct.
Question 9 of 9
36. What is the primary purpose of administering potassium chloride infusion to patient with diabetic ketoacidosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In diabetic ketoacidosis, potassium shifts extracellularly due to acidosis, masking depletion as it's lost in urine. Insulin therapy drives it back into cells, risking hypokalemia. Potassium chloride infusion replaces these losses, maintaining levels for muscle and cardiac function. Hyperpnea is acidosis-driven, not potassium-related. Flaccid paralysis and arrhythmias occur with severe imbalance, but replacement is proactive. Nurses monitor levels, preventing complications like weakness or dysrhythmias during treatment.
