Question Answered step-by-step 1.      Your unit is very busy and you are trying to stabilize a newpost-op patient. The doctor wants another patient’s PICC line discontinued. You want to send the LPN to do this. What does the Rule and Law say about this? Quote the section and letter of the Rule.2.      Sam, a RN on night shift, had his license revoked because he did not attach a patient’s call light to the bed and no one heard the patient calling for help, as all the nurses were in the break room. The patient subsequently fell out of bed and broke her hip. Quote the section and number of this rule that requires nurses to provide means for a patient to call for help.3.      If only RNs can perform nursing duties, how is it that nursing students without a license are permitted to function as nurses during their clinical rotations? Find the provision for this and quote the section number.4.      A patient calls the OBGYN office and talks to the nurse. She is 6 weeks pregnant and noticed some spotting. The nurse is tired and wants to go home, reassures the patient that it is probably from having intercourse earlier. The patient subsequently has an open laparotomy with salpingoophrectomy from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and sues the nurse for the unlawful practice of medicine. Which section of the Code prohibits nurses from making medical diagnoses?5.      You are a RN on a busy unit. You have been watching a first day pot op patient’s vital signs for several hours. While they were initially slightly low, they seem to have stabilized. You would like another BP before you begin shift handoff report and delegate this to the LPN. The LPN is busy finishing up his task and he tells the Nursing Assistant to grab the BP for you. Is what he did legal? There are at least 2 places in Rule and Law that speak to this. What numbers are they and what does it state?
