  3. C
    Explaining the risks and benefits of an upcoming incision and drainage procedure to secure informed consent
  4. D
    Updating an anxious family member in the waiting area about a client's diagnostic test results without prior authorization

Cevap

Reinforcing dietary modifications with a client who was recently diagnosed with hypertension
The practical nurse (PN) scope of practice includes reinforcing education that has already been initiated by the registered nurse (RN) or healthcare provider. The PN can safely review and reinforce dietary modifications for a stable client, as this does not require independent formulation of an initial teaching plan.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the role and scope of practice of the practical nurse (PN) regarding client education and assessments.
The PN scope includes data collection and reinforcing teaching, but excludes initial assessments and initial client education.
Understanding legal scope of practice is required to determine which delegated tasks are safe to accept.
2
Review the scope of practice related to informed consent and privacy laws.
Explaining procedure risks is a provider responsibility, and sharing information without authorization violates confidentiality.
Nurses must operate within legal and ethical boundaries during all client interactions.
3
Evaluate each delegated task against these scope of practice and legal standards.
Only the task of reinforcing previously initiated dietary education falls within the appropriate and legal scope for the PN.
This task does not require independent nursing judgment, initial teaching, or violation of client privacy.
