NCLEX PN Practice Tests Practice Question
The RN charge nurse hands the LPN/LVN a syringe filled with medication that the RN has just drawn and asks the LPN/LVN to administer this to a client. How should the LPN/LVN respond?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Option C is the most appropriate response as it emphasizes the LPN/LVN's responsibility to ensure patient safety. By asking about the medication and checking the order, the LPN/LVN confirms the medication's appropriateness and dosage, aligning with best practices for medication administration.
Option A lacks due diligence, as administering medication without verification can jeopardize patient safety. Option B, while seeking information, does not include the crucial step of checking the order, which is essential for safe practice. Option D, refusing to administer the medication outright, may not be necessary if the LPN/LVN can verify the medication's appropriateness.
