Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is planning care for several clients. Which of the following activities should the nurse delegate to the licensed practical nurse (LPN)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Teaching a client insulin injection technique: This task requires the knowledge and judgment of a registered nurse (RN), as it involves patient education on complex tasks such as insulin administration.Scheduling a diagnostic study for a client: This is typically handled by the RN or administrative staff, as it involves coordination and planning, not direct patient care.Admission assessment of a new client: The admission assessment is a comprehensive process that requires the RN’s expertise to develop a plan of care based on the assessment findings, making it inappropriate to delegate to an LPN.Evaluating changes to a client's pressure ulcer: This task is appropriate for an LPN to handle. LPNs are trained to assess and monitor changes in client conditions, including evaluating the status of pressure ulcers, but would not make complex decisions or create a comprehensive care plan.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has a new prescription for a metered dose inhaler (MDI). Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Waiting 2 min between inhalations ensures absorption. Shaking should be 5 seconds, rinsing uses water, and pressing twice is incorrect unless specified.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has asthma about how to use an albuterol inhaler. Which of the following actions by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
