The RN assigns the LPN/LVN to administer digoxin (Lanoxin) and furosemide (Lasix) via an NG tube.

Which of the following routes of administration should the LPN/LVN use when administering a Mantoux test? 1. Intradermal injection.

Strategy: “Should intervene” indicates something is wrong. When providing care to a client with a newly applied long leg plaster cast, the LPN/LVN should take which of the following actions? 1. Set up a fan to blow on the cast, and turn the client frequently.

As an LPN, you might have to perform the following duties: Register or admit new patients to a health care facility. Take medical histories for new patients to learn about their previous health issues, any genetic predispositions, and medicines they may take. Observe patients for reactions to medications or treatments.

In state nurse practice acts, the LPN works under the direction or supervision of an RN, physician, or dentist, as examples. An LPN’s assessment cannot, nor should it, take the place of an RN assessment.

An LPN may delegate tasks such as ambulating or feeding a patient to the CNA. The question of when a nurse should delegate is dependent on many factors. Usually, nurses delegate when they need help to prevent patient care delay.

The responsibilities and duties of a UAP include: Observing, documenting and reporting clinical and treatment information, including patients’ behavioral changes. Assisting with motion exercises and other rehabilitative measures. Taking and recording blood pressure, temperature, pulse, respiration, and body weight.

In general, you can’t legally delegate activities that require advanced education to a UAP; similarly, activities that require a judgment based on analysis of data are beyond a UAP’s scope of practice. When delegating to a UAP, put the emphasis on tasks, not thought processes. Policies and procedures.

The LPN, in this model, would assist the RN in medication administration (not including IV medications in most states), wound care, and activities of daily living (ADLs), while the RN worked on care plans, charting, updating physicians, and administering IV medications.

Best-Paying States for LPNs and LVNs The states and districts that pay Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses the highest mean salary are Alaska ($63,850), Massachusetts ($60,340), California ($60,240), Rhode Island ($59,860), and Nevada ($58,470).

The rationale that many hospitals are using to justify the LPN cuts are that LPN’s have less training and cannot perform as many functions as regular nurses. Most acute care hospitals have been phasing them out in recent years because the limitations on what LPN’s are licensed to do lead to some inefficiencies.

While the Registered Nurse (RN) has a wider scope of practice and is responsible for more comprehensive patient assessments and duties, the LPN/LVN is able to conduct focused assessments to determine the health status of patients.

The hospital standards are specific to only a Registered Nurse (RN) performing the nursing assessment within 24 hours after admission. Based on the Nurse Practice Act, it may be possible for an LPN to perform partial or full assessment in only specific situations, such as personal care and support services.

An LPN can perform a focused assessment by listening to lung or bowel sounds and report the findings to the RN but a comprehensive assessment is done by the RN.

In general, LPN’s are responsible for assisting registered nurses and doctors by providing basic medical care to their patients. Some of the typical job duties performed by LPN’s include: Changing bandages, catheters, and IVs. Reporting any changes in patients’ health to doctors and nurses.

TRUE, A LPN may regulate a peripheral IV infusion according to a perscribed flow rate and may perform routine set changes on a peripheral IV line. A LPN may perform dressing changes on peripheral venous sites, and PICC lines, but not on arterial infusions, or sub-clavian infusion. A LPN can discontinue any IV device.

Home health care: LPNs work in home health settings under the direction of a physician or RN. They provide bedside care to sick, injured or disabled patients. This care includes monitoring vital signs, giving injections and dressing wounds.

It is within the scope of practice of the appropriately prepared Licensed Practical Nurse to insert nasogastric tubes provided the following conditions are met: 1. The licensed practical nurse must have documented evidence of initial and ongoing training and competence in performing nasogastric tube insertion; 2.

“I got him for he (ii) In the given line, ‘him’ refers to the baby of the sloth bear that was killed and ‘her’ refers to the narrator’s wife.
