You can find the specific survey text related to each variable at IPUMS DHS.
First, select that sample(s) that interest you.
Then do a search of the variable name, such as v741. You'll see the IPUMS DHS harmonized variable (it's called wkearntype). Click on the variable name, and you'll see a row of tabs.
SURVEY TEXT will show you precisely that. If you click on the Survey Form line on this page, you can jump into the complete survey right where the question was asked.
UNIVERSE will describe the individuals who were asked the question, which of course takes into account the survey skip pattern. For example, for v741/wkearntype, IPUMS DHS says the question was asked of: Women age 15-49 who are currently working or have worked in the last 12 months.
