LPN Nursing Fundamentals Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
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 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with severe hypoxemia and requires precise oxygen titration. Which oxygen delivery system would be most appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: High-flow nasal cannula (D) is best for severe hypoxemia needing precise titration, delivering up to 100% oxygen at 60 L/min with humidity, adjustable to SpO2 targets. Simple (A), non-rebreather (B), and partial rebreather (C) masks lack precision. High-flow ensures accuracy, per respiratory therapy, critical in severe cases.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client following removal of the thyroid. Immediately post-op, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Post-thyroidectomy, a semi-Fowler's position (head elevated 30-45 degrees) with neck support reduces swelling and tension on the surgical site, minimizing complications like bleeding or airway obstruction. Turning the head side to side risks incision strain, while a supine position with sandbags could increase edema or discomfort without aiding breathing. Coughing with a flexed neck might stress the suture line, potentially causing dehiscence. Nurses prioritize this position to promote comfort, protect the airway, and monitor for signs like stridor, ensuring a safe recovery trajectory immediately after surgery.
Question 4 of 5
Which instruction should be included in the discharge teaching for the client with cataract surgery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Wearing an eye shield at night post-cataract surgery protects the operated eye from accidental rubbing or pressure, promoting healing a standard discharge instruction. OTC drops risk irritation, special glasses aren't always needed with modern lenses, and pain is typically minimal. Nurses teach this to safeguard recovery, ensuring clients understand its protective role.
Question 5 of 5
A client with glomerulonephritis is admitted to the unit. Which task is most suitable to delegate to the nursing assistant?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Measuring intake and output is suitable for a nursing assistant in glomerulonephritis care, a routine task tracking fluid balance, within their scope under RN supervision. Weighing, evaluating diuretics, or hair washing involve assessment or less priority. Nurses delegate this to optimize workflow, ensuring accurate data for fluid management critical in renal conditions.
