Quizlet LPN Fundamentals Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statement best describe trust in nursing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Trust is confidence in nurse-patient bond (B), per nursing e.g., reliance on care. Not doubt (A), not temporary (C), not rule (D) relationship-based. B best defines trust's foundation, vital for Mr. Gary's care, making it correct.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse chose a cheaper, effective med for Mr. Gary. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Choosing cheaper, effective med is cost-effectiveness (A) maximizing value, per definition. Utilization (B) resources, literacy (C) understanding, transition (D) moves not cost-specific. A fits the nurse's economical choice for Mr. Gary, making it correct.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following nursing interventions would be most important for determining fluid balance in a client with end-stage renal failure?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In end-stage renal failure, kidneys cannot regulate fluid balance, often producing little to no urine. Weighing the patient daily is the most reliable way to assess fluid status, as weight changes reflect fluid gain or loss (1 kg ≈ 1 L). Monitoring urine specific gravity is less useful with minimal urine output. Measuring intake and output helps but is less precise due to insensible losses (e.g., sweating). Bowel movements don't directly indicate fluid balance. Daily weight provides a consistent, objective measure, critical for managing fluid overload or dehydration in this population, guiding treatment like dialysis.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following intervention is NOT recommended in watery diarrhea?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Psyllium, a fiber supplement, bulks stool, useful in chronic diarrhea but not acute watery diarrhea, where it may worsen fluid loss by slowing rehydration. Intravenous albumin corrects oncotic pressure, not routine for diarrhea. Potassium supplements replace losses from stool, and normal saline restores hydration both are appropriate. Nurses prioritize fluid and electrolyte replacement in acute cases, avoiding agents that delay recovery or exacerbate dehydration, focusing on rapid stabilization.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is considered as the most important aspect of hand washing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Friction is the most critical in hand washing, mechanically removing dirt, microbes, and oils from skin surfaces, especially crevices. Soap emulsifies germs, water rinses, and time (40-60 seconds) ensures thoroughness, but friction drives efficacy. Nurses rely on this per CDC guidelines, reducing infection transmission, as chemical agents alone can't dislodge all pathogens without physical action.
