Question for Those that Passed and LaCharity

[HappyMeNow]

I am taking my Nclex in 2 weeks. I am now doing the case studies and I am struggling with a lot of the questions. I feel like I do know my content pretty well, but the multiple patient questions and putting things in order questions are killing me. For those that passed, did you have trouble getting the questions on Lacharity?

Also, I'm confused about the LPN delegation. Can I delegate a LPN to do tasks that would normally be done by a CNA? I know that sometimes the test doesn't want you have an LPN take vitals because it can be given to a CNA. But what if the question doesn't mention the existence of a CNA?

nursing assistant

- adls/noninvasive

- assist

- remind/reinforce: usually reminds pt. to do something rather than how to do it (skills previously taught by other health care professional or precaution measures)***

** usually in regards to adls (hygiene, nutrition, ambulating, skin care), turning, repositioning, cough deep breathe rom **

- special positioning-- requires initial education by rn -- assistant will assist not teach

- i/o , vs, weight

- they can detach suction and remove a foley but not connect or insert

- gather (equipment)

lvn/lpn

- auscultate/listen

- check(s)

- reinforce/remind

- administer (po,subq,im -- no high alert meds, plasma, blood products-- these and iv are done by rn)

- observe

- collect (data, specimens)

- monitor

- set up (basic equipment)

- review/teach-- usually standard practices (hand washing/hygiene) or med administration (ie. eye drops) -- rn mostly teaches/educated and lpns reinforce

- routine/standard

- wound care/suction/urinary cath/blood glucose readings

** don't assign lvn/lpn to do a task an nurse assistant can complete**

rn

- assess

- plan

avoid these assignments for new/float/lvn/lpn/traveling

-new onset/sudden/acute

-new admission

-transfer

-newly diagnosed

-discharge

-require education/teaching (beyond basic skills -- tend to be complex and specific to patients on that particular unit)

- unstable (ie. high risk of sudden respiratory failure, or requires frequent assessments and changes in therapy(like electrolyte imbalances)

give

- chronic

- routine meds/procedures

- stable

all healthcare workers

- responsible for knowing about and implementing standard precautions + airborne/droplet/contact --> therefore all can teach about it or prepare a room for it

Erica,

Go on Amazon and find the book, then click the tab under the cover of the book that says look inside. They show the first two chapters of the book and all of the answer pages. This includes all the pages you have listed.

I took my test Thursday the 17 & only got a couple questions on deligation... They were very clear cut if u know job decriptions of the cna & VN. I was a cna so that helped me. I also got only a hand full of priority questions too. I got more content area & some math. Honesty all I studied wasn't on my test LOL. Good luck tho. I got the good POP up. Hope the same for u.
