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.
CORRECT ANSWERS: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.
