MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The LPN Is Collecting Data For The Early Assessment Of A Patient Upon Admission To A
Long-Term Care Facility Before Giving The Patient‘S Set 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.

C. Collect Data About The Patient And The Patient‘S Health Condition.
D. Review The Nursing Care Plan To Verify That It Is Accurate.
ANS: 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.
