Does the new Nurse Practice Act actually identifies the LVN scope of practice?

Nurse Practice Acts pertain to each state individually. Your stae identifies the scope and practice of the divisions of nursing.

Which one of the following procedures does the patient's implied consent usually cover A blood test B lumbar puncture C Organ donation D breast biopsy?

Blood testing is typically regarded as ordinary hospital care. So are X-rays and most diagnostic tests.

All other tests and procedures need separate consent forms.


That said, a patient can revoke consent even for one or all blood tests, if they choose to do so. If a lucid patient says No, and a nurse (or lab tech, or doctor) tries to insert a needle into a vein against patient wishes, it can be a tort. A medical person cannot touch a patient once the patient clearly states NO. Go to your Supervisor, if this occurs. A Super or the doctor might get the patient's cooperation. Of course, doctors don't like games, so the doctor could dismiss the patient from care unless the patient can express a really good reason to say no to a doctor's order.

How do you communicate with a patient that is hard of hearing?

It depends on the degree of their hearing loss. Some patients who are hard of hearing may have been taught to lip-read. Others may have been taught to use sign language. And others may prefer to communicate by writing notes, or even by using a computer. First assess the degree of hearing loss, and find out what the patient's preferred method of communication is. For those who can lip read, making eye contact and speaking clearly will be important. For those who only have mild hearing loss but still maintain some hearing and/or use a hearing aid, they may ask you to speak a little louder when talking to them. In other words, there is no "one size fits all" response, so assess the patient and then use the techniques that are most suitable for that person.

I just wanted to expand a little on what the abover person wrote.

My spouse is an RN. Last year he made well over 100K and only had two associates degrees, one in health administration and one in nursing. The real issue here is experience. He has been a RN for 14 years, but not just in one area of nursing. If you want to max our your pay as a RN (versus going back to school which is costly, to receive RN anesthetist or something more of a speciality think again ), then you need to allow yourself more exposure within the field of nursing to increase your skills.

What do I mean? My spouse first worked as a lab tech, then went to nursing school, received an Associates degree in nursing, and went right into nursing. when he graduated, he worked in a few different units. Over the course of his years, he went from regular RN floors, cardiac, ortho, etc....and rotated into pediatrics, then the nursery, then the nicu. He did have to receive some certifications, which he was able to do through the hospital (at no cost to him, except time wise).

If you want to make the big bucks, invest your time and set aside your fear, and get exposure on different floors. some nurses stay in the same unit for years, which keeps their pay at the bottom, only benefitting with tiny yearly pay increases. You can do it!

so don't ever go by what the average pay is in a certain state or area-it comes down to experience.

What is the Cost to run a nursing home per year?

There is a lot of diffrent variable that come in play, depending on location, type of nursing home, number of residents etc... I would say look online for nursing homes in your area and see how much they charge per month, then multiply that by the number of people you want to take care of, then multiply that by 80% (cost to opperate) then multiply by 12. Thats a very rough rough estimate you should do more research because that value might not be very reilable.

Example,

cost per year = (($1,200 person/month *15 people)* 80%) *12months

cost per year = $172,800

Can you become a nurse with a misdemeanor charge of marijuana?

I don't believe so, or they should not like someone in with that kind of charge because then when they are a RN or LPN they are in charge of lots of drugs and they can start stealing them. It happen in a hospital I used to work for this nurse was addicted to just Marijuana and when she was put in charge of Narcs, and the person she had to give to was kind of out of it anyways she thought who would know. So No I would say no to this question.
