Question 1 of 5
An LPN on a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) team is tasked with implementing strategies to reduce medication errors. Which of the following strategies would be most beneficial for the LPN to implement?

Question 2 of 5
A client who is experiencing infertility says to the nurse, 'I feel I will be incomplete as a man/woman if I cannot have a child.' Which of the following nursing diagnoses is likely to be appropriate for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Of the nursing diagnoses listed, the client's statement most represents Body Image Disturbance because it directly refers to loss of the function of having a child. Nothing in the statement indicates that the client is at risk for harming herself. Ineffective Role Performance could be correct but is not the best choice because the statement does not reflect a disruption of the parent's role. Powerlessness could be an appropriate nursing diagnosis if the client described feeling powerless about the infertility.
Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Revocation of the decision for organ donation may occur at any time, by either the client or his responsible party.

Medical care for an individual during immediate care and/or resuscitation is not altered to declare a client dead and ready for organ donation.

However, the LPN should let the charge nurse know his background before beginning his shift so he can familiarize himself with new equipment, ask questions, and identify resources.
