Difficulty: Difficult

Feedback

Client Need: SECE—Coordinated Care

Concept: Patient-Centered Care
Difficulty: Moderate

Feedback

patient with a new fracture is not likely to relieve pain.
2 Giving the medication before the prescribed time is beyond the nurse’s scope
of practice.
3 The patient should not have to wait for pain relief, so the LPN should inform
the RN or physician so new pain relief orders can be obtained.
