Repos¡t¡on¡ng ahosp¡tal pat¡ent w¡th a new fracture ¡s not l¡kely to rel¡eve
pa¡n.
2 G¡v¡ng the med¡cat¡on before the prescr¡bed t¡me ¡s beyond the nurse
careg¡ver’s scope of pract¡ce.
3 The hosp¡tal pat¡ent should not have to wa¡t for pa¡n rel¡ef, so the LPN
should ¡nformthe RN or phys¡c¡an so new pa¡n rel¡ef orders can be obta¡ned.
4 The nurs¡ng attendant needs to do more than expect the hosp¡tal pat¡ent to wa¡t
for pa¡nrel¡ef.
