The nurse appropriately assigns which of the following clients to the LPN?
  1. A client who needs discharge instructions about insulin storage, preparation, and administration
  2. A client with an arm cast who requires frequent neurovascular checks
  3. A newly-admitted client suspected of tuberculosis
  4. A client with multiple myeloma who refuses medications
Explanation
Answer: B - The client with in arm cast, who requires frequent neurovascular checks, is stable; therefore, the nurse can delegate the task to the LPN. Teaching medication administration and use, and new client admissions require the skills of a registered nurse. A client has the right to refuse medications; however, a registered nurse should try to elicit reasons for the refusal, and encourage the client with cancer to voice his or her concerns.
