LPN Fundamentals Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is TRUE about temperature?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Body temperature peaks late day (8 PM-midnight) due to circadian rhythms e.g., higher metabolism. Lowest is early morning (not noon), thyroxin raises temp (not lowers), and elderly risk hypothermia (not hyperthermia) from poor regulation. Nurses monitor this pattern for fever assessment, per physiological norms.
Question 2 of 5
In a 24 hour urine specimen started Friday, 9:00 A.M, which of the following if done by a Nurse indicate a NEED for further procedural debriefing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Including 9:00 AM Friday urine e.g., pre-start skew 24-hour totals (9 AM Friday to 9 AM Saturday); it's discarded. Discarding start, including end, and preserving are correct. Nurses need debriefing here e.g., timing for accurate collection, per lab standards.
Question 3 of 5
Freud postulated that child adopts parental standards and traits through
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory (1900s) posits children adopt parental standards via identification e.g., mimicking a parent's empathy. Imitation (copying), introjection (internalizing), and regression (reverting) differ. This shapes the superego, influencing nursing behaviors e.g., empathy from role models affecting caregiver styles and patient interactions.
Question 4 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 trends for ethics. They predict events (insight), aren't self-centered (altruistic), and minimize conflict. Nurses foster this e.g., supporting unconventional choices enhancing self-directed health decisions, per humanistic theory.
Question 5 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 is normal (36.6-38°C) e.g., high-normal from cough stress. Not high (>38°C), low (<36.6°C), or low-end. Nurses interpret this e.g., monitor trends in acute cases, per standard ranges.
