LPN Fundamentals of Nursing Quizlet Questions

Question 1 of 5

A client is receiving continuous enteral feedings. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Flushing the feeding tube every 4 hours is essential to maintain patency and prevent clogging, ensuring the client receives the prescribed enteral nutrition without interruption. Monitoring intake and output, measuring temperature, and changing the feeding bag and tubing are also important aspects of care but not directly related to maintaining the patency of the feeding tube in a client receiving continuous enteral feedings.

Question 2 of 5

A client is receiving enteral feedings through an NG tube. Which of the following actions should be taken to prevent aspiration?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Monitoring gastric residuals every 4 hours is essential to assess the stomach's ability to empty properly, reducing the risk of aspiration. It helps in determining if the feedings are being tolerated by the client and if adjustments are needed in the feeding regimen. Positioning the client in a semi-Fowler's position helps prevent reflux and aspiration by promoting proper digestion and emptying of the stomach contents. Checking for tube placement by auscultating air after feeding confirms correct tube placement in the stomach. Warming the formula to body temperature before feeding enhances client comfort but does not directly prevent aspiration.

Question 3 of 5

A healthcare provider is planning care for a client who has a latex allergy. Which of the following actions should the healthcare provider include in the plan?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Placing a sign on the client's door is crucial in alerting healthcare providers to the client's latex allergy, helping them avoid using latex products, which can trigger an allergic reaction. This precaution can prevent accidental exposure and ensure the client's safety during care.

Question 4 of 5

A client has been on bed rest for 3 days. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the client is ready to ambulate?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The ability to bear weight on both legs indicates muscle strength and stability necessary for ambulation. This skill is crucial for the client to support their body weight and move independently when standing or walking.

Question 5 of 5

A client has a new prescription for a potassium-sparing diuretic. Which of the following foods should the nurse recommend?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Clients on potassium-sparing diuretics need to avoid high-potassium foods to prevent hyperkalemia. Apples are a low-potassium fruit, making them a suitable recommendation for clients on this type of diuretic.
