-ology - CORRECT ANSWER: means study of. Study on therapeutic not chemistry,
what is used for rather than how works in the body.
an assessment - CORRECT ANSWER: Detailed approach to establishing a database
for eventually identifying nursing diagnoses, developing a plan, implementing the plan, and evaluating the outcome of the plan.
An assessment includes subjective and objective data. - CORRECT ANSWER: This
data is gathered from many sources. The patient is the most important source for both subjective and objective data.

your senses of observation, listening, seeing, and establishing rapport with your patient.
description of pain by a patient - CORRECT ANSWER: completely subjective and is a statement of their interpretation of the cognitive and sensory aspects of the pain experience.
EVALUATION - CORRECT ANSWER: The time to check is based on the route of
administration. Each route of medication administration has a time to effectiveness characteristic. This patient with abdominal pain stated the pain was an 8 out of 10 on a 0-10 pain scale. In the planning stage you determined with the patient that reducing the pain to a 3 would be a goal. If at your time of evaluation, the patient states the pain level is 3, then the plan was successful and the goal was achieved. If the patient states the pain is a 6, then this cycles back to the beginning of the nursing process of assessment and the patient's report of pain at 6 is reported to the registered nurse or medical provider.
Implementation - CORRECT ANSWER: step of completing the course of action for
relieving the patient's pain. The knowledge of medication rights, routes, and specific medications is wrapped within this step and is critical for a positive patient outcome.
lpn proces assesment - CORRECT ANSWER: assist in completing the medication list of the patient's current medications.An assessment includes subjective and objective data.

care for the patient derived from the assessment process. These statements are available from publications like the Nursing Diagnoses: Definitions and Classifications. 1 / 2
In the example of our patient with pain, pain would be a focus and the registered nurse would identify an appropriate nursing diagnostic statement, for example, pain manifested by patient discomfort and lack of mobility related to abdominal pain (not appendicitis - this is a medical diagnosis not made by the nurse). The nursing diagnostic statement is derived from the nursing assessment data.
nursing process - CORRECT ANSWER: assessment, then diagnosis, planning, and
implementation.
Objective is data - CORRECT ANSWER: measurable and comparable to generally
accepted standards of meaning derived from larger numbers of people. For instance, if your patient states they have pain in the abdomen, the practical nurse will make this more objective data by asking the patient to rate the pain on a 0-10 scale, 0= no pain, and 10= the worse pain they ever had.
Other sources include - CORRECT ANSWER: family, caregivers, the medical record,
and additional professional sources: facilities, referring doctors, and others. Simply defined, subjective is what the patient states and generally cannot be measured or disputed
Pharmacology is a word derived from the Greek language. "Pharm" means - CORRECT
ANSWER: drug, poison, and spell,
Planning - CORRECT ANSWER: step that follows developing a nursing diagnostic
statement. This is a collaboration among the practical nurse, the registered nurse, the medical provider, and many other medical professionals. Planning to relieve the patient's pain would include medication administration as well and non-pharmacologic interventions such as body repositioning, meditation, heat and/or cold. In this course the interventions will emphasize medications. The plan to administer a medication includes many factors and steps that will be explained. In the case of this patient, a pain medication will be prescribed.
RN The registered nurse initiates this process FOR ASSESSMENT - CORRECT
ANSWER: documents the initial patient encounter.
scope is defined by your individual state boards of nursing - CORRECT ANSWER: high level of accountability for your knowledge and subsequent act

The comprehensive patient assessment is completed by the registered nurse. The practical nurse may complete a focused assessment
