Emergency Management
The charge nurse is making assignments in the medical department and has one RN, one recent graduate nurse, two licensed practical nurses (LPN), and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Which client should be assigned to the graduate nurse who has just completed orientation?
Explanation
ExplanationCorrect answer D: The newly graduated nurse has the knowledge to care for a client receiving antibiotic therapy. Antivenin administration requires specific assessment, infusion rates, and has many complications, and anthrax is a biological agent; therefore, a more experienced nurse should care for these clients. The UAP could sit with a client on a one-to-one suicide watch.
