HESI LPN Fundamentals Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Who is the first Filipino chief nurse of PGH?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anastacia Giron-Tupas was PGH's first Filipino chief nurse, a trailblazer e.g., elevating local leadership post-American rule. Delgado (PNA president), Sotejo (educator), and Tupas (unrelated) differ. Her tenure marked a shift toward Filipino autonomy in healthcare, influencing nursing's national identity.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is INCORRECT in assessing client's BP?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Leg BP (popliteal) is 20-40 mmHg higher e.g., 160/80 is low, not normal versus arm norms (120/80). Upper meniscus, slow deflation, and Korotkoff sounds are correct. Nurses adjust e.g., noting site for accurate interpretation, per BP technique.
Question 3 of 5
RN assumes 24 hour responsibility for the client to maintain continuity of care across shifts, days or visits.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Primary nursing assigns one RN 24-hour responsibility for a client's care plan, ensuring continuity e.g., a diabetic's regimen tracked across shifts via associates. Functional nursing focuses tasks, team nursing collaborates, and total care is shift-specific. This accountability, like overseeing wound care long-term, builds trust and consistency, vital for complex cases. Its structured oversight distinguishes it, widely applied in settings needing sustained nurse-patient bonds.
Question 4 of 5
This period ended when Pastor Fliedner, build Kaiserwerth institute for the training of Deaconesses
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Apprentice Period (6th-19th centuries) ended in 1836 with Fliedner's Kaiserwerth, training deaconesses e.g., Nightingale's alma mater. Unlike Dark (decline), Contemporary (modern), or Educative (post-apprentice), this shift from convent care to formal education marked nursing's professional dawn, a pivotal historical transition.
Question 5 of 5
What do you call the theorist that considers environment as the major determinant in a person's ability to function independently?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nightingale's theory (1850s) sees environment as key to independence e.g., clean air aids recovery. Henderson focuses on needs, Orem on self-care, Swanson on caring. Her environmental focus e.g., sanitation remains foundational, influencing modern infection control and patient autonomy in nursing.
