LPN Nursing Fundamentals Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
You noticed the patient chart : ANXIETY +3 What will you expect to see in this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anxiety +3 correlates to severe anxiety (B), where dilated pupils occur due to sympathetic activation, preparing for fight-or-flight. Optimal learning (A) fits mild anxiety (+1). Inability to communicate (C) is panic (+4), beyond +3. Palliative coping (D) isn't a symptom but a response. Severe anxiety (+3) impairs function, with physical signs like pupil dilation dominating, per anxiety scales, making B correct.
Question 2 of 5
The physician orderd, Magnesium Hydroxide cc Aluminum Hydroxide. What does cc means?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: cc' means with (B), from Latin 'cum,' per medical shorthand. Without (A) is 's' or 'sine,' one half (C) 'ss,' with half dose (D) isn't standard. B fits combining medications, making it correct.
Question 3 of 5

Question 4 of 5
A client had oral surgery following a motor vehicle accident. The nurse assessing the client finds the skin flushed and warm. Which of the following would be the best method to take the client's body temperature?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Selecting the best method to measure body temperature depends on the client's condition and clinical context. This client recently underwent oral surgery, which likely involved trauma, incisions, or packing in the mouth, making the oral route (A) inappropriate due to potential discomfort, inaccuracy from inflammation, or risk of injury to surgical sites. The client's flushed and warm skin suggests a possible fever, requiring a reliable method. Axillary measurement (B) is non-invasive but less accurate (typically 0.5°C lower than core temperature) and may not reflect true systemic temperature in critical situations. An arterial line (C) is invasive, used for continuous monitoring in critical care, and not practical for routine temperature assessment. The rectal route (D) provides a core temperature reading (about 0.5°C higher than oral), is unaffected by oral surgery, and is reliable for detecting fever in this scenario. Despite being slightly more invasive, it ensures accuracy when oral access is compromised, making D the best choice for this post-surgical client with signs of fever.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following statement is NOT a characteristic of Acute pain?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Acute pain has sudden onset (A), is well-defined (B), and ties to specific injury (C), per pain classification. Lasting over 6 months (D) defines chronic pain, not acute typically under 3-6 months. D contradicts acute pain's short-term nature, making it the correct non-characteristic based on standard medical delineation.
