MULTIPLE
CHOICE

leaving my children with my parents.” Which action would the nurse take next?
a. Reassure the patient that these feelings are common for parents.
b. Have the patient call the children to ensure that they are doing well.
c. Gather information on the patient‘s concerns about the child care arrangements.
d. Call the patient‘s parents to determine whether adequate child care is being
provided.

Because a complete assessment is necessary in order to identify a problem and choose an
appropriate intervention, the nurse‘s first action should be to obtain more information. The
other actions may be appropriate, but more assessment is needed before the best intervention
can be chosen.

registered nurse (RN), one assistive personnel (AP), and o ne licensed practical/vocational
nurse (LPN/VN). Which assignment, if delegated by the nurse, would be outside that
individual‘s scope of practice?
a. Check for the presence of bowel sounds by AP
b. Administration of oral medications by LPN/VN
c. Insulin administra tion by float RN from the pediatric unit
d. Measurement of a patient‘s urinary catheter output by AP
ANS: A
Assessment requires RN education and scope of practice so it cannot be delegated to an
LPN/VN or AP. The other assignments made by the RN are appropria te for the role of the
team member.

(LPN /VN)?

b. Measure bedside blood glucose before administering insulin.

•

• The nurse completes an admission database and explains that the plan of care and discharge
goals will be developed with the patient‘s input. The patient asks, “How is this different from
what the physician does?” Which response would the nurse provide?
a. “The role of the nurse is to administer medications and other treatments prescribed
by your physician.”
b. “In addition to caring for you while you are sick, the nurses will help you plan to
maintain your health.”
c. “The nurse‘s job is to collect information and communicate any problems that
occur to the physician.”
d. “Nurses perform many of the same procedures as the physician, but nurses are
with the patients for a longer time than the physician.”
ANS: B
The American Nurses Association (ANA) definition of nursing describes the role of nurses in
promoting health. The other responses describe dependent and collaborative functions of the
nursing role but do not accurately describe the nurse‘s unique role in the health care system.
