LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 9
Which of the following statement is TRUE about professional boundaries?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Professional boundaries maintain appropriate limits (B), per ethics e.g., no romance. Not personal (A), not patient-only (C, staff too), not all (D) distance-focused. B truly defines boundaries' role, like with Mr. Gary, making it correct.
Question 2 of 9
Imelda is in the recovery stage after the incident. As a nurse, you know that the diet that will be prescribed to Miss Imelda is
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: During recovery from massive tissue loss, Imelda needs a high protein, high calorie diet with vitamins A and C (B). Protein supports tissue repair and collagen synthesis, vital for wound healing. High calories provide energy for metabolic demands of recovery. Vitamins A and C enhance epithelialization and collagen formation. Low calorie options (A, D) lack energy for healing, while low protein (C, D) hinders tissue regeneration. This nutrient-rich diet matches the needs of second intention healing, where extensive repair occurs, making B the correct choice.
Question 3 of 9
This is characterized by severe symptoms relatively of short duration.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Acute illness has severe, short-lived symptoms, unlike chronic conditions.
Question 4 of 9
When teaching a client with a new diagnosis of diabetes mellitus about foot care, which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Inspecting the feet daily is crucial for clients with diabetes mellitus to detect early signs of injury or infection promptly. This practice helps prevent serious complications such as diabetic foot ulcers. Soaking feet in hot water daily can lead to skin dryness and increase the risk of injury. Applying lotion between toes can cause moisture buildup, leading to fungal infections. Using over-the-counter products to remove corns can result in skin damage and should be done under healthcare provider supervision.
Question 5 of 9
The nurse wants to check the popliteal pulse. This pulse can be better palpated if the nurse does which of the following things?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Flexing the knee relaxes the popliteal area, easing pulse palpation behind it, unlike extension or front pressure. Deep palpation isn't unique here. Nurses use this for circulatory checks.
Question 6 of 9
Postulated the INTERPERSONAL ASPECT OF NURSING
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Joyce Travelbee's Interpersonal Theory, from the 1960s, views nursing as a human-to-human relationship during illness e.g., helping a patient find meaning in cancer. Swanson's caring processes, Zderad's humanism, and Peplau's therapeutic focus differ. Travelbee's emphasis on interpersonal coping and meaning-making, distinct from Parse's human becoming, guides nurses in emotional support, especially in terminal care.
Question 7 of 9
Mr. Gary paid a copay for his visit. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Paying a copay is cost sharing (A) split costs, per definition. Capitation (B) fixed, policy (C) rules, transition (D) moves not cost-specific. A fits Mr. Gary's shared payment with insurance, making it correct.
Question 8 of 9
Which of the following is responsible for deep and prolonged inspiration
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The pons' apneustic center drives deep, prolonged inspiration e.g., in gasping unless overridden by pneumotaxic control. Medulla sets rhythm, carotid/aortic bodies monitor gases. Nurses note this e.g., in brain injury for altered breathing patterns, per respiratory neurology.
Question 9 of 9
Studies have shown that about 40% of patients fall out of bed despite the use of side rails; this has led to which of the following conclusions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: High fall rates despite side rails suggest they are not fully effective.
