LPN Nursing Fundamentals Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is NOT TRUE about profession according to Marie Jahoda?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Marie Jahoda, a 20th-century psychologist, defined a profession as an organized group applying specialized knowledge for the broader community's benefit, not just a specific subset. She emphasized altruism (serving others selflessly) and prioritizing work quality over rewards, traits nursing exemplifies through education and care standards. The idea that a profession serves only a specific group's interests contradicts her view professions like nursing aim for universal welfare, such as public health initiatives. This distinction often appears in licensure exams, highlighting nursing's societal role over narrow advocacy, aligning with its ethical and professional identity.
Question 2 of 5
According to Maslow, which of the following is TRUE about a self actualized person?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Maslow's self-actualized individual (1940s) decides independently e.g., rejecting popular trends for personal ethics. They predict events (insightful), aren't self-centered (altruistic), and minimize conflict through clarity. Nurses encourage this autonomy e.g., supporting a patient's unconventional treatment choice enhancing self-directed health decisions.
Question 3 of 5
Tympanic temperature is taken from John, A client who was brought recently into the ER due to frequent barking cough. The temperature reads 37.9 Degrees Celsius. As a nurse, you conclude that this temperature is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Tympanic temp of 37.9°C falls within normal (36.6-38°C) e.g., slightly elevated from barking cough stress. It's not high (>38°C), low (<36.6°C), or low-end. Nurses interpret this as high-normal, monitoring for trends in acute respiratory cases, per standard ranges.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is TRUE about the mechanism of action of the Aortic and Carotid bodies?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Aortic and carotid bodies, chemoreceptors, slow respiration when BP rises e.g., baroreceptors signal reduced need for O2 delivery. Increased RR (hypoxia), alkalosis (pH), or acidosis (metabolic) misalign. Nurses note this e.g., in hypertension for respiratory adjustments, per cardiovascular interplay.
Question 5 of 5
When should the client test his blood sugar levels for greater accuracy?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Before meals e.g., fasting glucose offers accurate baseline sugar levels, unlike during (eating), between (variable), or post-meal (spike). Nurses advise this e.g., AM checks for diabetes monitoring, per endocrinology standards.
