HESI RN Exit Proctored Exam
Which client is best to assign to the practical nurse (PN) who is assisting the registered nurse (RN) with the care of a group of clients?
Explanation & Rationale
A. A client who is one day postoperative for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy is typically stable and requires less complex care, which is appropriate for a practical nurse to manage under the supervision of the RN. B. A client with alcoholism, cirrhosis, and hepatic encephalopathy requires more complex care and assessment, which should be handled by the RN. C. A client scheduled for a foot amputation due to diabetes complications likely requires ongoing assessment and care coordination that is better suited for an RN. D. A client who is one day postoperative with a colostomy for colon cancer may have more complicated care needs related to the colostomy, making this more appropriate for the RN.
