Chapter 01: Pharmacology and the Nursing Process in LPN Practice
Visovsky: Introduction to Clinical Pharmacology, 11th Edition
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 nursing4 care plan to verify that it is accurate.
CORRECT 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.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Applying REF: p. 2
2. The LPN is working with a patient in the planning stage of the nursing process related to the
patient‘s prescribed drugs. Which 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 ANSWER: 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.

this point of the teaching plan?
a. Assessment
b. Implementation
c. Evaluation
d. Diagnosis
CORRECT ANSWER: C
In the evaluation phase of the nursing process, the LPN understands and teaches to the patient the

DIF: Cognitive Level: RememberingREF: p. 2
4. Which of the following is an example of subjective data?
a. The patient states she has pain in her left arm.
b. The medical chart has a recorded blood pressure of 128/88.
c. The serum potassium level is 3.8 mmol/L.
d. The patient‘s ECG shows normal sinus rhythm.
CORRECT ANSWER: A
Reports from the patient or patient‘s caregiver are considered subjective data. Symptoms such as
pain, nausea, or dizziness are examples of symptoms that cannot be ―seen‖ and are data collected
from the patient, caregiver, or others. Laboratory values, ECG results, or vital sign data from a
medical chart are examples of objective data.
DIF: Cognitive Level: RememberingREF: p. 2
5. Which statement4 provides an example of objective data?
a. The wife states the patient was confused last night.
b. Grimacing with movement is present during the examination.
c. The patient reports moderate alcohol consumption.
