CHAPTER 1 — Pharmacology and the Nursing Process in LPN
Practice
Multiple-Choice Questions (21)
1. The LPN’s primary role in pharmacology includes which
responsibility?
A. Diagnosing medication-related disorders
B. Administering medications safely
C. Prescribing medications
D. Adjusting medication dosages
Rationale: LPNs are responsible for safe administration and
monitoring—not diagnosing or prescribing.
2. Which action belongs to the assessment phase of the nursing
process?
A. Giving a medication
B. Collecting patient allergies
C. Documenting the medication
D. Setting patient goals
Rationale: Assessment involves gathering data, such as allergies and
vital signs.
3. Before administering digoxin, the LPN checks the patient’s apical
pulse. This is an example of:
, A. Evaluation
B. Implementation
C. Assessment
D. Planning
Rationale: Checking vital signs prior to medication is assessment.
4. A measurable goal for a patient receiving pain medication is:
A. “The patient will feel better.”
B. “The patient will have no side effects.”
C. “The patient’s pain will decrease from 8/10 to 3/10 within 30
minutes.”
D. “The patient will understand pain management.”
Rationale: Goals must be measurable and time-specific.
5. The LPN verifies a provider order before medication
administration. This step is part of:
A. Evaluation
B. Implementation
C. Planning
D. Assessment
Rationale: Verifying orders and clarifying uncertainties is assessment.
6. The LPN administers a medication and then documents the
action. This is part of:
