The nurse received an LPN/LVN license upon graduating from nursing school and passing the NCLEX-PN. After receiving a job, the nurse moved, and didn't notify the board of nursing.

The nurse is cleaning out his wallet, and notices the original license expired two weeks ago. What actions must the nurse take? Select all that apply. Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Notify the board of nursing, and arrange to renew the license.
2. Do not work as a nurse until the license is renewed.
3. Take the NCLEX-PN again.
4. Inform the employer of the lapse in licensure.
5. Pay a late fee in addition to normal costs of renewal.

Question 2

The nurse working in a Planned Parenthood clinic admits a woman who requests a pregnancy test. While waiting for the results, the client asks the nurse, If I'm pregnant, the father could be either of two men I've been seeing.

Can you tell me what day I got pregnant if you know how far along I am, so I can figure out who the father is? The nurse's best response is: 1. Women usually ovulate on the 11-14th day, with the first day of your period being day one. However, every woman is different, so there is no way to know what day you ovulated or became pregnant.
2. Women usually ovulate on the 14-18th day, with the last day of your period being day one. However, every woman is different, so there is no way to know what day you ovulated or became pregnant

Answer to Question 1

1,2,4,5
Rationale: The nurse cannot legally work as a nurse until his license is renewed, so he should notify his employer and refrain from working until the new license is received. The nurse should notify the board of nursing and arrange for payment of the renewal fee and any late charges. It is not necessary for the nurse to take the NCLEX-PN again in most states unless the license has been expired for an extended period of time (several months).

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The first day of the menstrual period is considered day one of the menstrual cycle. While most women ovulate between the 11th and 14th day of the cycle, every woman is different, and it is possible to ovulate any day of the cycle. While most women have a 28-day cycle, some have shorter cycles and others have longer cycles. It is virtually impossible to determine what day a woman became pregnant.
