Study Group Question - Do you think you know it?

WHAT SHOULD BE AT THE BEDSIDE OF A PT WITH CHEST TUBE DRAINAGE?

scissors?

scissors?

SCISSORS IS NEEDED FOR PATIENT WITH ESOPHAGEAL VARICES WHICH HAS SENGSTAKEN- BLAKE MORE TUBE TO DEFLATE THE BALLOON IF BLEEDING OR HAVE DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING.

KELLY CLAMP , STERILE OCCLUSIVE DRESSING AND RUBBER CAPPED HEMOSTAT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE BED SIDE OF A PT WITH CHEST TUBE ALL THE TIME.

what is the major causes of acute salphingitis?

padded clamp used for clamping the tubing if it is dislodged from the drainage system, and gauze w/ vaseline to cover the insertion site incase the tubing becomes dislodged from the pt.

well whoopsie i got that one wrong...should give choices...the nclex is multiple choice anyway...

Delegate this assignment to the RN, LPN and CNA

1-change of abdominal dressing-LPN

2-IV push- RN

3-Report decubitus ulcer healing to RN-CNA

4-irrigate central line-RN

Really? I would think that reporting a healing decubitus ulcer would be LPN for the NCLEX since it's an assessment and a CNA can't assess. Is it not considered an assessment?

The word reporting does not mean an assessment. Because reporting information to an RN about the pt condition and care is an important part of a CNA responsibility.

I know NCLEX is a multiple choice question but we are doing this to know what you think you know without an option to choose from. This process is part of learning. Knowing the answer w/o looking at the option make you think before selecting any option.:tku::[anb]:

I was thinking more in terms of a CNA determining the status of the ulcer, does that make sense? Reporting an ulcer would be part of the duties of a CNA but assigning a CNA to determine it is healing and report that to the RN requires the CNA assessing the wound. Then again, I could be reading too much into the question as I've not done the LaCharity book yet

In the real world I can see where a CNA would report that to the nurse but for the NCLEX I just would have expected it to be designated to the LPN. Did you pull this question from a book? Just wondering if it offers a rationale in addition to the answer.
