this exemplify? - correct answer. Theory Z
5. An LPN/LVN in charge of two units on the evening shift notices that two of the
nursing assistants (NAs) are constantly bickering. This appears to be interfering with
patient care time. Both units are extremely busy with care needs. Which solution best
reflects the process of accommodation? - correct answer. Their issues are trivial
and do not affect patient care actions. No time is presently available for extended
discussions. Send one of the NAs to another area and allow time for both to defuse.
Good patient care in an expedient manner is the priority at this time.

of the decubitus.

timely format for the entire agency to use. What is the role of the LPN/LVN? - correct
answer. Assigned manager

9. A team leader is making out the patient care assignment. A new patient needs
several extensive dressing changes for open diabetic wounds, a nasogastric (NG) tube
feeding, and irrigation of the Foley catheter as needed. Which member of the care team
is best suited for this assignment? - correct answer. LPN/LVN C because these
treatments are covered under the LPN/LVN state practice act
10. The role of the LPN/LVN as a team leader has been developed to broaden and
improve patient care. Which statement best reflects this role implementation? - correct
answer. As an LPN/LVN team leader, this nurse, under the supervision and
guidance of an RN, is responsible for all aspects of patient care that is assigned to this
team.
11. A team leader nurse is attending college classes for a degree after work and spends
much of the day reading and writing. As a result, the staff is given few directions. They
make their own patient assignments and time schedules and solve problems among
themselves. Significant confusion is evident on the unit. What leadership style is being
practiced? - correct answer. Laissez-faire
12. On the way to the biohazard disposal closet to dispose intravenous (IV) tubing and a
bag used on a patient who is positive for human immunodeficiency virus, the LPN/LVN
drops the IV tubing and bag on the floor, causing a spill. What is the team leader's most
appropriate action? - correct answer. Call and report to designated personnel to
come and cordon off the area from staff and patients; have the spill cleaned with
approved infection and chemotherapy spill control procedures.

similar to those of the nursing process. Which scenario contains all the steps of the

patient rounds made an hour early today to obtain a more detailed patient profile of care
provided during that shift.
