LPN Fundamentals Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
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 2 of 5
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 3 of 5
A tendency to view one's own way of life as the most desirable, acceptable, or best and to act in a superior manner toward another culture is
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ethnocentrism is judging other cultures by one's own standards, often leading to bias or superiority, like assuming Western medicine trumps traditional practices. Cultural imposition forces one's beliefs on others, a related but distinct act. Cultural taboos are specific prohibitions, and acculturation is adapting to another culture. In nursing, ethnocentrism hinders culturally competent care, risking mistrust. Recognizing it promotes respect for diverse health beliefs, enhancing patient cooperation and outcomes.
Question 4 of 5
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.
Question 5 of 5
In brain death all are seen except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Brain death halts brainstem function, causing diabetes insipidus (ADH loss), apnea (no breathing), and unresponsive pupils (fixed, often dilated, not constricted). Pulse may not react to atropine due to autonomic failure. Constricted pupils suggest intact brainstem, inconsistent with death. Nurses assess these signs, confirming irreversible loss for organ donation protocols.
