Chapter 01: Pharmacology and the Nursing Process
in LPN Practice
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The LPN is collecting data for the initial assessment of a patient upon admission to a
Long-term care facility before giving the patient’s prescribed drugs. Which action should the
LPN consider to be the highest priority?
a. Obtain any special equipment that will be needed to give the patient’s drug.
b. Monitor the patient for a response to the drug given.
c. Collect data about the patient and the patient’s health condition.
d. Review the nursing care plan to verify that it is
accurate.
ANSWER: C
Collecting and documenting data about the patient and the patient’s health condition is
a critical step before any drugs are given. Information regarding the present illness, any
signs and symptoms, review of medical records, drug history, and vital signs are needed
before drugs are given. Deciding on special equipment that will be needed to give the
patient’s drug is part of the planning phase of the nursing process. Monitoring the
patient for his response to given drug is part of the evaluation stage of the nursing
process. Reviewing the nursing care plan to verify that it is being followed accurately is
part of the implementation stage of the nursing process.
