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.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Applying REF: p. 2

action should the LPN take during this stage?
a. Develop a nursing goal to plan the procedures needed to give drug.
b. Develop a teaching plan for the patient regarding the drug’s actions.
c. Determine that the patient is experiencing the expected response to his drug.
d. Determine how much the patient understands about his drug.
CORRECT ANSWERS:D
Determining how much the patient understands about his drug is part of the diagnosis
phase of the nursing process. Developing a nursing goal to plan the procedures needed to
give drug and developing a teaching plan for the patient regarding the drug’s actions are
part of the planning phase of the nursing process.
