Question 2
Select the examples of LPN/LVN charge nurse directions that meet the criteria for Right Direction/Communication. (Select all that apply.)
a. Please bathe Mrs. Duffy today, cut her nails, and shampoo her hair. The beautician will set her hair at 11 AM.
b. Mr. Hovde needs to have fluids pushed today. His skin seemed dry to me when I made rounds, and we certainly don't want him to become dehydrated.
c. Mrs. Neidert needs to walk from her room to the nurses' station with the assistance of two this morning and again after lunch. Please report whether she does this easily or with difficulty.
d. Offer Mr. Jones the urinal before breakfast and before his shower. Report to me immediately if he voids and the amount he voids. If he does not void by 10 AM, notify me, as I will need to catheterize him.
e. Mrs. Snyder must be showered, dressed in street clothes, and groomed by 10 AM. Have her hat, coat, and mittens ready. The Medi-van is picking her up at 10:30 for a doctor's appointment.
