Question 1 of 5

You are supervising a new graduate LPN who is ordered to perform tracheostomy care. The LPN states that she has performed this procedure only a handful of times, and completes the task slowly. Which of the following actions made by you is most appropriate?

A. Perform the task yourself, and have the LPN watch. B. Reassure the LPN that they are likely being overly self-critical and encourage them to perform the task alone. C. Observe the LPN, then provide positive feedback after the task is completed. D. Protect patient safety by prohibiting the LPN from performing tracheostomy care until the LPN feels confident.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The most appropriate action is C: Observe the LPN, then provide positive feedback after the task is completed. This approach allows for supervision and feedback without undermining the LPN's confidence. By observing the LPN, you can assess their competence and provide constructive feedback to improve their skills. This approach fosters a supportive learning environment and encourages the LPN to become more proficient in tracheostomy care.

Other choices are incorrect:
A: Performing the task yourself does not allow the LPN to gain experience and confidence.
B: Reassuring the LPN without assessing their performance does not address any potential areas for improvement.
D: Prohibiting the LPN from performing the task may hinder their learning and professional growth.
