The LPN/LVN contributes by collecting and sharing data that are used by the RN to plan and evaluate care. The LPN/LVN is skillful in data collection and providing planned nursing interventions. Nursing diagnosis is the domain of the RN. LPN/LVN basic education does not teach interview skills and physical assessment of body systems.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: A, D
Use of good communication strategies facilitates data collection. Orienting the patient to your role and the purpose of the interaction and clarifying what is not understood facilitates data collection. Addressing the patient with familiarity, using terms of endearment, is disrespectful and creates a barrier to communication. Repeating questions the patient has previously answered suggests to the patient that no one listens to what has already been revealed. Judging the patient's behaviors and attitudes results in labeling of patients and making judgmental statements to the patient.
