HESI LPN Fundamentals Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statement best describe managed care organizations?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Managed care organizations control costs and quality (B), per definition e.g., HMOs for Mr. Gary. Not unregulated (A), not group (C), not one-time (D) system-based. B best defines their role, balancing care and expense, making it correct.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following assessment data is expected in a patient admitted with extracellular fluid excess?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Extracellular fluid excess (e.g., heart failure) increases blood volume, distending jugular veins as pressure rises in the venous system. Elevated hematocrit indicates dehydration, not excess. A rapid, thready pulse suggests hypovolemia, and increased sodium isn't typical unless concentrated. Nurses assess jugular distension to detect fluid overload, guiding diuretics or fluid restriction to prevent complications like pulmonary edema.
Question 3 of 5
Color coding for Nitrous oxide cylinder is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Nitrous oxide cylinders are coded French blue per international standards (e.g., BOC), ensuring safe identification in medical settings. Black is oxygen, black with white shoulders is air, and gray is carbon dioxide. Nurses verify colors, preventing gas mix-ups during anesthesia, critical for patient safety and procedural accuracy.
Question 4 of 5
A female patient is being discharged after thyroidectomy. After providing the medication teaching. The nurse asks the patient to repeat the instructions. The nurse is performing which professional role?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: By providing medication teaching and confirming understanding through repetition, the nurse acts as an educator. This role involves imparting knowledge, ensuring comprehension, and empowering the patient to manage post-thyroidectomy care, like medication adherence, critical for recovery and preventing complications (e.g., hypothyroidism). Asking the patient to repeat instructions assesses learning, addressing gaps before discharge. As a manager, the nurse coordinates care, not directly teaches. The caregiver role focuses on physical assistance (e.g., wound care), not education. Patient advocacy ensures rights and preferences are upheld, but this scenario emphasizes teaching over advocacy. Education equips the patient for self-care, aligning with nursing's holistic approach, making educator the nurse's primary role here, enhancing health outcomes through informed participation.
Question 5 of 5
Data collection includes the gathering of subjective and objective data from or about a client. Subjective data are:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Subjective data are the client's perceptions about their health like reporting pain or fatigue captured through interviews or questionnaires. These reflect personal experiences, not measurable by others, distinguishing them from objective data (e.g., temperature). Physician history forms provide mixed data, often objective (e.g., lab results), not purely subjective unless quoting the client. Observations by the collector like rash appearance are objective, directly seen or measured. Ancillary reports (e.g., radiology) are objective, based on tests, not perceptions. Subjective data's focus on the client's voice e.g., 'I feel anxious' is vital for holistic assessment, guiding nurses to explore symptoms' impact, making it the correct definition here.
