LPN Nursing Fundamentals Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 9
Which of the following statement is NOT true about Good Samaritan laws?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Good Samaritan laws protect aid (A), limit liability (C), encourage help (D) 'only in hospitals' (B) isn't true, applies anywhere, per law. B's restriction misstates its broad scope, like aiding Mr. Gary roadside, making it untrue.
Question 2 of 9
A characteristic of the nursing process that is essential to promote client satisfaction and progress. The care should also be relevant with the client's needs.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Effective (D) promotes satisfaction and progress by achieving relevant outcomes, per nursing goals. Organized/systematic (A) plans, humanistic (B) individualizes, efficient (C) saves. D ties to client-centric results, making it correct.
Question 3 of 9
Which of the following is not a normal component of the urine?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sugar isn't normal in urine e.g., glucosuria signals diabetes unlike urea (waste), sodium, potassium (electrolytes). Nurses test e.g., dipstick for abnormalities, per physiology.
Question 4 of 9
The nurse is providing endotracheal suctioning to a client who is mechanically ventilated when the client becomes restless and tachycardic. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Restlessness and tachycardia during suctioning indicate distress (e.g., hypoxia); discontinuing suctioning (D) is priority. Rationale: Stopping prevents further oxygen depletion, stabilizing the client first per airway management protocols.
Question 5 of 9
Conceptualized the BEHAVIORAL SYSTEM MODEL
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Dorothy Johnson's Behavioral System Model (1960s) views humans as systems with seven subsystems like attachment e.g., adjusting a child's feeding to stress. Orem emphasizes self-care, Henderson needs, and Parse becoming. Johnson's focus on behavioral equilibrium helps nurses address disruptions, like anxiety in hospitalization, influencing pediatric and psychiatric care assessments.
Question 6 of 9
You are feeding a newborn infant in the nursery, as the mother is having some procedure done at this time. Before the infant finishes taking the contents of the bottle of formula, the infant slowly stops sucking and falls asleep. Which of the following actions would be best on your part?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Allowing a newborn to sleep after stopping sucking respects natural cues, unlike waking, waiting, or reporting normal behavior. Nurses prioritize this for infant well-being.
Question 7 of 9
Using Maslow's hierarchy of basic human needs, which of the following nursing diagnoses has the highest priority?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy prioritizes physiological needs (e.g., breathing) over safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization. Ineffective breathing pattern, evidenced by shortness of breath, threatens oxygenation a fundamental survival need making it the highest priority. Pain-induced respiratory distress could escalate to hypoxia, requiring immediate action like repositioning or oxygen support. Anxiety, while distressing, is a psychological need, lower on Maslow's scale unless it impairs breathing (not indicated here). Risk of injury is a safety concern, important but not immediate unless actualized. Impaired communication affects social interaction, even lower priority, manageable with alternative methods. Breathing's critical role in sustaining life places this diagnosis at the top, demanding swift nursing response to stabilize the patient before addressing less urgent needs, aligning with Maslow's foundational logic.
Question 8 of 9
The act of utilizing the environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery is theorized by
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Florence Nightingale pioneered the idea that a patient's environment directly impacts recovery, a cornerstone of modern nursing. In the 19th century, she observed that poor sanitation, inadequate ventilation, and excessive noise hindered healing, while clean, well-ventilated spaces supported it. Her work during the Crimean War demonstrated this, reducing mortality rates by altering hospital conditions. She viewed the patient as having innate reparative abilities, enhanced by environmental factors like hygiene and comfort, rather than relying solely on medical intervention. This differed from later theorists: Benner focused on skill acquisition, Swanson on caring processes, and King on goal attainment through nurse-client interactions. Nightingale's rejection of germ theory didn't diminish her environmental focus, which remains influential. Her theory laid the groundwork for nursing's emphasis on holistic care, prioritizing the manipulation of external conditions to nurture the body's natural healing processes, a principle still evident in infection control and patient comfort practices today.
Question 9 of 9
Which of the following interventions on the part of the nurse would most help a confused ambulatory client find their room?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For a confused ambulatory client, placing a picture on the door best aids room recognition, leveraging visual memory over abstract numbers or verbal cues. Large numbers help but may not register with confusion, hourly reorientation is temporary, and pinning numbers risks loss. A familiar image like a family photo serves as a consistent, intuitive marker, enhancing independence and reducing disorientation in nursing care.
