Fundamentals of Nursing LPN Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statement is TRUE about quality assurance in nursing?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse's clinic got a set fee for Mr. Gary's care. This is an example of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following principle guides nurses' priorities at a disaster caused by a collapsed building in an earthquake?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In disaster triage, controlling hemorrhage is prioritized as it's a leading preventable death cause, saving the most lives quickly (e.g., applying tourniquets). Minimal care patients are delayed per reverse triage, head injuries vary in urgency, and age-based priority (children) isn't standard. Nurses focus on rapid, life-saving interventions, maximizing survival rates in chaotic settings with limited resources.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse in charge measures a patient's temperature at 101 degrees F. What is the equivalent centigrade temperature?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, the formula is (°F - 32) / 1.8. For a temperature of 101°F: subtract 32 (101 - 32 = 69), then divide by 1.8 (69 / 1.8 ≈ 38.33). Rounding to one decimal place, this equals 38.3°C, matching the provided option. This conversion is vital in healthcare settings where Celsius is commonly used, ensuring accurate communication of a patient's condition. A temperature of 38.3°C indicates a fever, which could signal infection or inflammation, guiding the nurse's next steps in care. The other choices are incorrect: 36.3°C is too low (equivalent to about 97.3°F, below normal); 40.03°C is too high (about 104°F); and 38.01°C is slightly off due to rounding errors. Precision in temperature conversion enhances patient monitoring and treatment decisions, making 38.3°C the correct equivalent for 101°F in this clinical context.
Question 5 of 5
In the nursing process, the purpose of assessment is to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The assessment phase of the nursing process is designed to establish a comprehensive database about the patient, gathering subjective and objective data like symptoms, vital signs, and health history to inform subsequent steps. This foundational role ensures nurses understand the patient's condition fully before diagnosing or planning care. Implementing doctors' orders occurs in the implementation phase, not assessment, which precedes action. Complying with nursing requirements is a procedural concern, not the purpose of assessment, which focuses on patient needs, not regulatory checklists. Ensuring nursing instructions are followed relates to evaluation or implementation, not data collection. By creating a detailed patient profile, assessment enables nurses to identify problems, set goals, and tailor interventions, making it the critical starting point for effective, individualized care in the nursing process.
