A charge nurse is assigning tasks. Which patient is MOST appropriate for the LPN/LVN? A) Newly admitted with crushing chest pain. B) Chronic COPD requiring scheduled nebulizer. C) Post-op day 1 requiring titration of vasopressors. D) Suspected bowel obstruction needing initial assessment.
Show answer →B is correct. LPNs care for stable patients with predictable outcomes. A patient with chronic COPD receiving scheduled meds is considered stable. Options A and D require initial assessments and diagnostic reasoning (RN role). Option C involves critical care titration, which is outside the LPN scope. Strategy: Look for chronic, stable, or routine for the LPN.
An LPN is supervising a UAP. Which task is INAPPROPRIATE to delegate? A) Documenting intake and output. B) Applying a cold pack to a sprained ankle. C) Reinforcing teaching on insulin injection. D) Assisting a stable patient with a shower.
Show answer →C is correct. While LPNs can reinforce teaching initiated by an RN, UAPs cannot perform any level of teaching or reinforcement. UAPs perform routine ADLs and simple, non-invasive procedures (like cold packs if per policy). Strategy: Remember TAPE (Teaching, Assessment, Planning, Evaluation) cannot be delegated to UAPs.
An LPN asks a UAP to check on the patient in room 4. Which Right of Delegation has been violated?
Show answer →The Right Direction and Communication. The LPN failed to provide specific instructions, expected outcomes, and timeframes. Effective delegation requires the Four Cs: Clear, Concise, Correct, and Complete instructions. The LPN should specify what to check (e.g., pain level, vitals) and when to report back.
Which IV-related task is typically within the LPN scope of practice for a patient with a peripheral IV? A) Initial IV push of a high-alert medication. B) Monitoring the site for infiltration. C) Titrating a Heparin drip based on PTT. D) Inserting a PICC line.
Show answer →B is correct. LPNs are responsible for data collection and monitoring. Monitoring an IV site for signs of infiltration or phlebitis is a core LPN competency. High-alert IV pushes, titration of critical drips, and central line (PICC) insertion are RN or advanced roles. Note: State boards vary, but NCLEX-PN focuses on this distinction.
During the nursing process, which step is the LPN primarily responsible for contributing to, rather than initiating independently? A) Evaluation of the entire care plan. B) Formulating the initial nursing diagnosis. C) Data collection and reporting. D) Developing the original goals.
Show answer →C is correct. The LPN scope focuses on data collection (vitals, physical findings) and reporting to the RN. The RN is responsible for the ANA steps: Assessment (initial/comprehensive), Nursing Diagnosis, and Analysis. The LPN contributes to the plan but does not create the framework.
