Question 1 of 5
An experienced charge nurse is providing mentoring to a new charge nurse. The new charge nurse is making the shift assignment for a licensed practical nurse (LPN). Which assignment requires intervention by the experienced nurse?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Providing nasopharyngeal suctioning for a client with pneumonia is within the scope of practice for an LPN. This task involves performing a procedure to clear the airway, which is a common responsibility for LPNs. Assisting a client who is 24 hours post-operative to use an incentive spirometer is appropriate for an LPN. This task involves helping a client with breathing exercises to prevent post-operative complications, which is a standard part of post-operative care. Teaching a new client who has asthma to use a metered-dose inhaler requires educational and assessment skills that typically fall within the scope of practice for a registered nurse (RN). While LPNs can reinforce education, the initial teaching and assessment of a client's understanding should be done by an RN. Collecting a clean catch urine from an ambulatory client with a wound is within the scope of practice for an LPN. This task involves obtaining a urine sample, which is a routine procedure that LPNs are trained to perform.
