NCLEX-PN vs NCLEX-RN: Which Is Right for You?

Immediately honor the patient's verbal request to revoke the DNR and notify the healthcare provider to update the medical orders. Patients have the legal right to revoke or change Advance Directives at any time\, regardless of written status. Strategy: Verbal revocation is legally binding in the clinical setting; the LPN must ensure the entire team is notified immediately.

B is correct. LPNs reinforce teaching that has already been established by the RN. They cannot create the plan, choose the materials, or perform the initial evaluation of learning readiness. Strategy: LPN = Reinforcement; RN = Initial Teaching/Evaluation.

The nurse should initiate the ACLS protocol, including chest compressions and defibrillation, but omit endotracheal intubation. Rationale: DNR and DNI are distinct orders. A DNI only prohibits the insertion of an artificial airway. It does not prohibit other resuscitative efforts like CPR, cardioversion, or vasopressors. NCLEX Tip: Read the specific order carefully. DNI is not DNR. If the heart stops, you do CPR; if they stop breathing, you use a bag-valve-mask but do not intubate.

Yes, this is a major HIPAA violation. Using a personal device to capture or store Patient Health Information (PHI), including photos of wounds or anatomy, is strictly prohibited. Even without a face, unique clinical features can be identifiers. PHI should only be documented using facility-approved equipment and stored in the secure Electronic Health Record (EHR). NCLEX Strategy: HIPAA violations on the exam often involve social media or personal technology. If the device isn't hospital-issued and the purpose isn't direct clinical care, it's almost always a violation.
